SITE PREPARATION
8.1
Locating equipment
The dust collector site location must take into account the wind and seismic loadings.
See collector specifications to ensure proper site location.
The collector is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Ensure proper equipment
and accessories are equipped on the OptiFlo RC for such installations. The collector can be
located on a foundation (by others) or on structural framing (by others).
Ensure local laws, codes and regulations are followed for the materials being
collected. Noise levels should be considered when selecting the proper location of the OptiFlo
RC.
Locate the OptiFlo RC in a location so that maintenance to the collector can be
handled easily. See collector drawing for cartridge clearance.
In the case of hazardous dust, consult your local authorities, laws, codes, or
regulations for the location of the unit.
8.2
Foundations
The OptiFlo RC dust collector is usually mounted on a reinforced concrete foundation.
However, roof mounting is also possible. When calculating for foundation or roof mounting,
the weight of the dust collector, material collected, and all auxiliary equipment must be
considered together with snow, wind, and seismic loads. Check the drawings of the specific
OptiFlo RC ordered for the dust collector weight.
8.3
Anchoring
See the specific OptiFlo RC collector drawing for anchor bolt location. Anchor bolts
must extend at least 1.75 inches above the foundation. The collector should be located with
consideration for emptying hoppers, electrical and air connections and maintenance, and
should have the shortest run of ductwork possible.
