Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Dalamatic Insertable Dust Collectors – Series DLM V
Start-up sequence
Having completed all the necessary checks, the equipment may be put into
operation. A typical installation, as shown in figure 14, should be started up as
follows:
1 Start up compressed air supply.
2 Set the equipment being served, if applicable, in motion.
3 Switch on controller.
4 Start main fan (if fitted).
Shut-down sequence
At the end of any period of operation it is most important that all residual
deposits are cleared from the filter elements, collector body and
equipment being served. To achieve this, equipment should be shut
down in the following order:
1 Stop main fan only, leaving controller and compressed air supply switched
on to allow filter elements to be cleaned ‘off-line’.
To enable off-line cleaning, refer to controller manual.
This procedure is not recommended where explosion panels are
fitted, as damage could result to the Membrex membrane. In such
cases consult with Donaldson.
2 After 10-15 minutes, switch off controller and compressor but leave discharge
equipment running to ensure that it is emptied.
3 After a further 5 minutes, switch off the discharge equipment if applicable.
Adherence to the above procedure will ensure that a Dalamatic dust collector
installation is maintained at optimum efficiency.
