Commercial Series Cyclone Owners Manual
April 2012
Maintenance
The filter must be subjected to regular maintenance. Maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel.
Routine maintenance
The check and maintenance operations to be carried out periodically are as follows:
Fan
At the beginning of every season, clean the fan vanes (The accumulation of dust and other material on the
fan vanes decreases its efficiency and compromises balancing, causing vibrations and noise) according to the
cleaning procedure that is in the manual that you fan came with.
Doors
Check and clean the seals on the inspection door(s) to ensure a proper seal and to prevent leaks.
Rotary Valve
If your Cyclone is equipped with a rotary valve it will need to be cleaned at the end of the season. To clean,
allow the rotary valve to run until no ash is present. SHUT OFF the power to the rotary valve and allow to cool
before manually cleaning. To clean, open the door on the cyclone and use a wire brush, or similar to clean the
valve. Apply a rust inhibitor to the rotary valve to prevent corrosion during the off season.
Cyclone Separator
The Cyclone should be emptied and cleaned of ash at the end of the season shutdown. SHUT OFF power and
allow the Cyclone to cool before cleaning. Empty all ash from the cyclone and clean any ash from the sides of
the cyclone. Apply a rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion during the off season.
DECOMMISSIONING and SCRAPPING
The Cyclone Separator is built entirely using ferrous materials and does not contain any material considered
dangerous for the environment.
Scrapping
Once the Cyclone Separator has been decommissioned, it is considered “waste” as defined by national and
European laws and must be handed over to companies that have a Regional Authorization to collect waster.
