The Clean Air Industries Amtech ATC Cyclone Dust Collector is usually mounted on a reinforced concrete foundation. Other mounting options are possible. Structural calculations for the foundation or other mounting arrangement must include the weight of the equipment. These weights must be considered together with wind, seismic and other live load ratings when designing the support structure. Interconnecting ductwork (not provided with the Cyclone Dust Collector) should be designed and properly sized to handle the air volume at the recommended air velocities of the entrainment of dust into the collection system. When installing ductwork, use shortest possible runs and long-radius elbows whenever possible. The shortest duct length with a minimum number of elbows will maximize the performance of the unit. Seal all joints. Follow ductwork design methods as listed in the Industrial Ventilation Manual as recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. In the case of spark-producing processes, system design should incorporated measures to prevent live sparks from entering the dust collector. Consult local authorities for the location of this unit and any precautions to consider when collecting combustible, explosive or hazardous dusts. Review General Cautions listed on page 2. With any air-moving device, a certain amount of noise is created. Normally, the noise level is not as high as that of other machinery in the area. If you require an additional reduction in the noise level, exhaust silencers are available as optional equipment. Noise levels must be taken into consideration as you plan the installation of your equipment.
4.3 ASSEMBLY OF STANDARD EQUIPMENT
!!!!! CAUTION !!!!!
Use adequate safety measures when lifting and assembling any heavy components. Consult your plant safety personnel for recommendations.
Before you begin, remove all crating, strapping and hold-down bolts. Locate all hardware bags and other assembly materials provided with your unit. Remove fan housing inspection door and examine the unit fan wheel. Make sure it moves freely and is firmly in place. Re-tighten if necessary. Replace door after inspecting. Check that motor mounts are secure. Clean Air Industries Amtech ATC Cyclone Dust Collectors are typically shipped in three main assemblies: 1. Upper barrel assembly – This section consists of the upper barrel and blower housing with motor. 2. Cone weldment 3. The base assembly – This consists of support base, legs, drum cover, hose and clamps. The inlet and outlet pieces will also typically be shipped with the base assembly.
