ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
9.1 Introduction
Safe and efficient operation of the OptiFlo RC depends on proper installation.
AAF recommends that the ductwork going into the collector be as straight as possible,
with at least 5 diameters of straight run recommended.
Authorities with jurisdiction should be consulted before installing the OptiFlo RC to
ensure local installation laws, codes, regulations and procedures are followed.
A qualified installation and service agent must complete installation and service of
the dust collector and equipment.
Ensure all covers from shipping and loose materials are removed from the collector
before installation. Failure to do so can result in failure of the dust collector.
Ensure the hardware, on the dust collector assemblies, is properly installed and tight
before installation.
9.2 Assembling and installing the structure
9.2.1
Modular assembly
OptiFlo RC units with multiple modules normally have their housings factory pre-
assembled up to a minimum of 4 modules, with legs and hoppers sent for site assembly. If
more than 4 modules are required or if there are site access problems that preclude delivery
of very large assemblies, it may be necessary to join together on site the housing modules.
In this case the modules to be joined will not have side panels. See also 9.2.4.
9.2.2
Flanged joints
Flanged joints exist where housing modules must be bolted together and where
hoppers are bolted to the lower faces of the housing. In most cases, AAF will provide
sufficient tubes of sealant which must be applied to one of the opposing faces just prior to
the faces being brought together. When applying sealant be careful to circle each bolt hole
with the sealant. See also 9.2.4
9.2.3
Products shipped as a single assembly.
Some of the smaller sized units may be shipped each as a single assembly on a flat-
bed truck. Careful lifting, using the supplied lifting lugs, is required to turn the unit to the
vertical position prior to lowering the unit onto the legs and the pre-prepared foundation.
