Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
DCE 2000 Series Dust Collectors
19
It is a requirement of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992
to provide adequate isolation and emergency stop facilities. Due to the
varied nature of site installations this cannot be provided by Donaldson
but instead is the responsibility of the customer.
When making your preliminary checks, or during the start-up sequence,
particularly note that on collectors fitted with an explosion panel the
cleaning system should not be operated on its own for longer than
necessary as the positive pressure produced could weaken the Membrex
membrane.
Commissioning check list
Ensure the DCE 2000 Series filter section is securely bolted to the base
section and the fan section is securely bolted to the filter section.
Ensure the base section is securely bolted to the floor and, where applicable,
the dust container base panel is bolted in position.
Ensure all ducting is complete and all detachable panels are in position.
Ensure collectors fitted with antistatic filter elements are suitably earthed.
Where fitted, ensure explosion relief panels are venting to a safe area.
Ensure the door seal is intact, then close and secure the door.
Ensure the controller is connected to the correct voltage and the pulse interval
and duration settings are correct. For 24V DC ensure polarity is correct. It
is essential that the controller is earthed for both AC and DC connections.
Ensure electric power is available.
Ensure the compressed air manifold has sufficient protection for over-
pressure.
Start the compressor and check that the air supply is maintained at the
recommended pressure.
If applicable, start up the discharge equipment (e.g. screw conveyor, rotary
valve, belt feeders etc.).
Switch on the controller and check all valves operate in sequence by ‘feeling’
pulses in rubber hoses (look and listen for exhaust pulses). As each valve
operates, the air pressure reading should drop to approximately 50% of the
initial setting and then return to the initial value.
Start up the main fan and check for correct rotation and that the full load
current is not exceeded (refer to fan rotation label located on rear panel of
fan section).
Verify operation of the interlocks and audible warning system if fitted.
If any of the above check boxes are not ticked, then the reasons why should be
investigated. (Refer to fault location table in ‘Maintenance’ section).
