THE DUST CONTROL SYSTEM
The baffle system that is built into the debris hopper is designed minimize dust in the air while the machine is
sweeping.
The debris from sweeping is thrown into the hopper. The impeller vacuum fan pulls the lighter dust up and
through a baffle system. The Pre-Clean Flap separates the heavier dust particles to an area below the filter.
The lighter dust particles are captured by the dust filter. This allows the dust filter to remain cleaner and
need less shaking to remove dust. When the dust filter becomes clogged the filter shaker switch should be
pushed to start the dust shaker cycle. This will extend the life of the filter.
NOTE
The main broom and impeller fan will shut off automatically when the shaker motor is cycling.
THE CONTINUOUS DUST CONTROL (CDC) OPTION
The CDC Hopper Self-Cleaning Air Filter System Option, sets the standard for constant dust control at the
sweeping broom. Less operator attention is required for all sweeping conditions.
WARNING
To prevent possible injury from the compressed air blast emitted from the multi-jet filter cleaning heads, stop
engine before opening the hopper filter chamber.
The air cleaning system removes dust from the vacuum fan induced air stream flowing through the sweeper
hopper. The system provides prior to the fan two solids gas-separators that remove debris and dust scav-
enged from around the main broom.
The initial separator utilizes impaction and inertia to remove debris from the flow stream. The self-cleaning
panel filter provides final high-level air cleaning before the vacuum fan interception.
Overlapping, multiple high energy gas jets automatically reverse and flush clean the filter to maintain a rela-
tively constant hopper air flow. Energy for the filter cleaning gas multi-jets is from an engine driven compres-
sor. Compressed air at 35/40 PSIG provides filter cleaning sequence and cleaning time lapse.
