Collector Location
Donaldson Torit equipment is not
designed to support site installed
ducts, interconnecting piping, or electrical
services. All ducts, piping, or electrical
services must be adequately supported to
prevent severe personal injury and/or property
damage.
When hazardous conditions or materials are
present, consult with local authorities for the
proper location of the collector.
Dust collection equipment may reach peak
sound pressure levels above 80 dB (A). Noise
levels should be considered when selecting
collector location.
Locate the collector to ensure easy access to electrical
and compressed air connections, to simplify solids
collection container handling and routine maintenance,
and to ensure the straightest inlet and outlet ducts.
Provide clearance from heat sources and avoid any
interference with utilities when selecting the location.
Site Selection
This collector can be located on a foundation or
structural framing.
Ensure the inlet has at least five diameters of straight
duct prior to the collector inlet including a transition to
the full inlet dimensions. Inlet transition should have a
taper with a maximum of a 90-degree included angle.
Consider the effects of condensation caused by
temperature difference between the process airstream
and outdoor temperatures.
Consider forklift access for solid collection container
removal.
Hoisting Information
Failure to lift the collector
correctly can result in severe
personal injury and/or property damage.
Use appropriate lifting equipment and adopt
all safety precautions needed for moving and
handling the equipment.
A crane or forklift and qualified operator are
recommended for unloading, assembly, and
installation of the collector.
Location must be clear of all obstructions, such
as utility lines or roof overhang.
Use all lifting points provided.
Use clevis connectors, not hooks, on lifting slings.
Use spreader bars to prevent damage to collector’s
casing.
Check the Specification Control drawing for weight and
dimensions of the collector and components to ensure
adequate crane capacity.
Allow only qualified crane or forklift operators to lift the
equipment.
Refer to applicable OSHA regulations and local codes
when using cranes, forklifts, and other lifting equipment.
Lift collector and accessories separately and assemble
after collector is in place.
Use drift pins to align holes in section flanges during
assembly.
