7.0 INITIAL INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
7.1 The location of the unit(s) must be planned to maximize effective operation and simultaneously afford access for service/maintenance, while keeping safety considerations at the forefront. Explosions and fires in collection systems are possible; therefore, systems should be designed and placed/affixed/mounted with those two aspects in mind and in accordance with any local, state, or national fire/safety codes/regulations. Should questions arise or assistance is needed consult your Clean Air Industries distributor.
7.2 After the installation, access/clearance must be available to service the following components:
1. Filters 2. Fan 3. Valves 4. Controls 5. Dust storage container, such as dust drawer or dust drum.
7.3 Structural supports must be capable of supporting the load of the dust collector (plus options), the heaviest load of dust the collector can contain, and any reasonable number of maintenance technicians with a factor of safety that is acceptable to the responsible party of the equipment/building.
8.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
NOTE: All mechanical installations must be performed by a qualified installer and in accordance with local, state, and national codes/regulations/laws (if any).
8.1 Prior to mounting the unit it may be advantageous to remove the cartridge filters to reduce the weight of the collector. Store filters in a safe location.
8.2 Depending on how your unit was shipped, the system may/may not have the hopper/legs attached. Should the installation require a hopper to be installed on the collector, the joining flanges must be sealed to eliminate air leaks. Use silicone or an equivalent high quality sealant.
NOTE: Leaks at the flanges of the hopper or dust drawer will cause excessive dust re-entrainment. Ensure no air leaks exist.
8.3 If the unit should include a Leg/Hopper assembly, then position the main body in the planned installation location. Assemble the leg kit to the hopper as illustrated in the “typical” drawing on the cover page of this manual (if more detailed instructions are necessary, then contact your Clean Air Industries distributor). Anchor the Leg/ Hopper assembly to the concrete floor using 3/4” tapered anchor bolts, 1 per anchor pad for a total of 4 each, tapered anchor bolts. 8.4 Use silicone or equivalent high quality sealant on all flanges and place the collector on the Leg/Hopper assembly. Using the supplied bolts, nuts and washers secure the collector to the Leg/Hopper assembly. A drift pin or alignment tool will aid in the aligning the holes. NOTE: Should questions arise concerning total weight, consult your Clean Air Industries Distributor or Clean Air Industries Factory.
