avoid any contact with the operating fan. Under no circumstances should the fan ever be
allowed to operate when any of the access panels on the dust collector, or the silencer, have
been removed. The fan must be disconnected and locked out prior to the performance of
any maintenance work, see paragraph 2.4.
2.6 Safety Guards
The dust collector cabinet prevents access to the fan inlet. All access panels shall
remain bolted in place while the fan is operating. Prior to the removal of any access panels,
the electrical power to the collector shall be disconnected and locked out, see paragraphs
2.4 and 2.5. After electrical power is disconnected, the fan wheel will continue to rotate for
a period of time before coasting to a stop. Do not access the fan until the fan wheel has
come to a complete stop.

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
3.1 Description
The OptiFlo RC is a complete pulse-jet cartridge collector system capable of providing
continuous on-line cleaning. This cartridge collector utilizes high efficiency pleated filter
elements arranged in a horizontal arrangement. Dust laden air enters above the filter
elements and moves in a true down flow direction between the filters. The airstream passes
through the media as the dust is collected on the filter media. The clean air then moves
through the tube sheet section and into a clean air plenum at the rear of the module.
3.2 Purpose and intended use
The OptiFlo RC is intended to be used for relatively dry nuisance dusts, with loadings
generally less than 3 grains per cubic foot (7 g/m 3 ). Typical applications an OptiFlo RC is
used for include weld fume, laser tables, thermal spray, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food
processing. The cartridge that is used in the OptiFlo RC should be suitable for the intended
application.
The REDClean
®
N cartridge is suitable for most applications where the OptiFlo RC is
used. Contact AAF International for assistance on a cartridge design for your application. It
is recommended that you use only AAF International cartridges on AAF International
equipment.
3.3 Normal Operation
During normal operation, air enters the OptiFlo dust collector through the high inlet
and moves downward through the dirty air plenum, in true “downflow” fashion. The cleaned
air passes through the filter elements, while dust is collected on the outside surfaces of the
elements. Clean air flows through the center of the elements into the clean air plenum,
where it exits through the clean air outlet.
