2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 AMTECH Environmental Booth Modules (EBM) are designed to improve the air quality in a relatively, confined space, and at the same time inhibit welding smoke/fumes and dust from degrading the air quality in a larger area (such as the plant). The collectors for the EBM’s com e in a 4, 6, and 8 cartridge size, with a corresponding air flow rate of 3000, 4500, and 6000 cfm, respectively. Multiple collectors can be placed within a booth to provide almost any reasonable air flow rate for the booth. The EBM’s provide a relatively safe work station; however, given the combustible nature of welding fume/smoke and the inherent generation of sparks from grinding, prudent operation of the system and periodic maintenance is essential. Spark baffles and spark mesh are offered as an option on these units and are recommended.
2.2 Installation is complete after: •
The collector unit is positioned appropriately • The booth (and curtain, if equipped) is assembled and connected to the collector • Electrical power is connected (appropriately) • Fire detection/suppression systems connected (appropriately – and if so equipped). • Compressed air is connected (appropriately)
2.3 MOST FILTERING MEDIA IS COMBUSTIBLE EVEN WHEN IT IS TREATED WITH FLAME RETARTANT MATERIALS. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PREVENT BURNING MATERIAL FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE FILTERING MEDIA. 2.4 FIRE OR SMOKE DETECTION DEVICES AND APPROPRIATE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS MAY BE REQUIRED DEPENDING ON LOCAL CODES AND AUTHORITIES. PLEASE VERIFY WITH THE APPROPRIATE AGENCIES WHICH MAY INCLUDE, BUT MAY NOT BE LIMITED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL AUTHORITIES. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OR HER/HIS REPRESENTATIVE PRIOR TO OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT. 2.5 It is imperative that the equipment be verified, cleaned and properly maintained on a continual basis to ensure proper and safe operation. This maintenance can usually be performed on a contract basis if necessary. Contact your Distributor for details. 2.6 All employees should be familiar with the on/off controls. No burning, torches or cutting should be carried out in direct proximity to the unit. Where welding, cutting or grinding being performed, a suitable fire extinguisher(s) should be accessible.
2.7 Good judgment should be utilized at all times. If you are unsure about the system components or function, please contact your Distributor.
2.8 THINK SAFETY FIRST!

(Dual EBM-6 collectors inside a booth are on the cover, EBM-4 and EBM-8 collectors are shown below)
4. INSPECTION
4.1 Upon receipt of unit, the Environmental Booth collector, booth walls/ceilings, and any optional components must be checked for damage or potential loss incurred during shipping. Damage must be noted on the bill of lading and a claim filed with the carrier immediately. Clean Air Industries should be notified immediately upon receipt of unit, regarding any missing/lost items/components/parts.
5. THEORY OF OPERATION
5.1 The Environmental Booth Module features (usually) a custom designed booth and a factory assembled collector. The system is designed to enhance the air quality both for a relatively confined area (where an individual(s) can perform welding or grinding or other dust generating procedures) and the area surrounding the booth. During normal operation, air flows into the collector, through the (optional) metal baffles and (optional) metal mesh filters. The air then moves between the cartridge filters and towards the blower. A portion of the dust will collect on the surface of the cartridge media as the air passes through the filter media, and into the blower. The dust that collects on the cartridge media will periodically be dislodged by the reverse jet pulse cleaning system. This system is either manual (push button) or electronically (optional) controlled and is usually configured to monitor the differential pressure between across the filter media. When the differential pressure reaches the adjustable set point, a brief burst of compressed air will be released into the core of the cartridge filter to dislodge the dust from the filter surface. The dislodged dust gradually migrates towards the settling chamber (dust pan or hopper), for subsequent manual removal through the dust pan or hopper.

6. FEATURES
6.1 Standard
6.1.1 DUST TRAY – The dust tray provides an area where dust can accumulate and easily be removed.
6.1.2 FIRE RETARDANT CARTRIDGE FILTERS – The filters have been treated with a chemical to “retard” against chemical combustion; however, the cartridge filters are NOT “fire proof”, that is, under certain the filters will combust. 6.1.3 MANUAL PUSH BUTTON REVERSE PULSE CLEANING – The collector has a reverse pulse cleaning system, whereby when the valve is manually actuated (by pushing the button), a blast of air is injected inside the filter cartridge (opposite to the normal air flow), which helps dislodge accumulated material on the outside of the filters.
6.2 Optional
6.2.1 AFH/AFS - After filter housings are available with either HEPA or Safety filters. HEPA filters are 99.97% efficient at specified flow/pressure rates and Safety filters are 95% efficient at specified flow/pressure rates.
6.2.2 CASTERS – The 5” casters enable the backdraft bench to be moved, relatively with ease. Electrical and compressed air lines would need to allow for movement.
6.2.3 EXPLOSION VENT - An Explosion Vent is designed to relieve rapid pressure build up, as is experienced from an explosion within the dust collector. If your explosion vent should experience a burst, then contact your Clean Air Industries Distributor to order a replacement. 6.2.4 FIRE SUPPRESSION – Fire suppression is available in a variety of technologies. Fire suppression systems should be installed by qualified individuals and in accordance with any local, state, or national codes/regulations/laws (if any).
6.2.5 HOPPER – The hopper and leg accessory increases the dust storage capability of the unit.
6.2.6 LIGHTS – A 2 or 4 foot long “VaporTite” fluorescence light kit is available to provide supplemental lighting for the work area (bulbs are not included – due to probability of breakage during shipment). 6.2.7 MAGNEHELIC GAGE – The Magnehelic gauge option is usually chosen when the manual push button reverse pulse cleaning is used. The Magnehelic gauge measures the differential pressure across the cartridge filters, which can also be utilized to determine when the filter has reached “end of life”. The Magnehelic gauge can also be used to measure the differential pre ssure across the HEPA filters.
6.2.8 METAL MESH FILTERS – The metal mesh filters provide a durable surface for the deposition of welding smoke/fume. Filters should be periodically removed and cleaned (soap and water).
6.2.9 PNEUMATIC VALVE KIT - A pneumatic valve kit includes a pressure regulator, coalescing filter, and pressure gage. This kit helps insure that clean dry air is being supplied to the pulse valves at the proper air pressure. NOTE: The coalescing filter requires periodic maintenance/replacement (life span is a function of supplied air quality).

6.2.10 SILENCER - Silencers are manufactured from 11 and 14 gauge carbon steel. The silencers are lined with a minimum of 3” of a sound damp ing material. When installing a rectangular silencer, install on the flange side of the motor can. When installing a round silencer, install on top of the motor can (this may require a supplied cone to install) 6.2.11 SMOKE DETECTION – Smoke detectors are available in a variety of models. Smoke detectors should be installed by qualified individuals and in accordance with any local, state, or national codes/regulations/laws (if any). 6.2.12 SPRINKLERS - Unless otherwise requested, the sprinklers discharge at 165 o F. Sprinklers must be connected to the plant’s main s prinkler system and in accordance with any local, state, or national codes/regulations/laws (if any).
6.2.13 FILTERS
Standard:
-Fire Retardant 80/20 Cellulose/Polyester Blend
Optional:
-Fire Retardant Nanofiber -Spunbond (Washable) -Other configurations are available upon request
6.2.14 TURBO DIGITAL PULSE CONTROL – This electronic device constantly monitors the differential pressure across the cartridge filters and, when the programmable set point is met, automatically reverse pulse cleans the cartridge filters. The unit also offers a cycle down feature, whereby the filters are cleaned on shutdown.
6.2.15 CUSTOM PAINT
7. INSTALLATION
7.1 Initial Considerations
7.1.1 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 not uncommon; therefore, systems should be designed and placed with those two aspects in mind and in accordance with any local, state, or national fire/safety codes/regulations. Thought should also be given to electrical and compressed air sources, keeping in mind that the collector will need to be connected with electricity, compressed air, and fire detection/suppression systems (optional). Should additional questions arise, or assistance is needed consult your Clean Air Industries distributor.
7.1.2 After the installation, access/clearance must be available to service the following
components:
1. Filters 2. Fan 3. Valves 4. Controls 5. Dust drawer
Page 8
sales@clean-air.com
1-866-665-1829
www.clean-air.com
7.2 Mechanical
NOTE: All of the mechanical installation must be performed by a qualified installer and in accordance with local, state, and national codes/regulations/laws (if any).
7.2.1 The Environmental Booth Module is a (usually) custom built booth coupled with a factory assembled dust collector. Placement/movement of the unit inside the factory/building is usually the major concern. Ensure you have enough room in front of the access doors and/or dust drawers for easy filter access as well as all around the unit for access in the event of maintenance or emergency. 7.2.2 After placement, the collector (and booth) should be secured to the floor using tapered anchor bolts. NOTE: Should questions arise concerning total weight, consult your Clean Air Industries Distributor or Clean Air Industries Factory. 7.3 Electrical
NOTE: All of the electrical installation must be performed by a qualified electrician and in accordance with local, state, and national codes/regulations/laws (if any).
7.3.1 The blower motor is typically configured to operate with 208-230/460 volt, 60 cycles, and 3 phase electrical power, unless specified otherwise with the equipment order. A magnetic motor starter with over load protection is attached to the unit. The voltage for which the starter control (and motor) is configured should be labeled on the starter control box. The electrical connections to the box (and wiring) must be sized and selected in accordance with local, state, and national codes.
7.3.2 Nominal Full Load Amperes are as follows:

7.3.3 The blower is designed to rotate clock wise when viewed from the motor side (top of blower). If the blower is running in reverse, the air volume will be approximately 50% of the designed air volume and excessive noise will be generated. Therefore, once the motor is wired, check motor rotation by energizing the blower motor for a brief instant (“JOG”). If direction is reversed, then correct. Switching two (2) of the 3-phase connections on the output side will reverse the direction of rotation.
7.3.4 If your unit is equipped with the “ Turbo Digital Pulse Control ” , then this feature will need to be connected to a 120 volt power source. Power consumption is less than 50 Watts.
7.3.5 If your unit is equipped with a “light kit”, then this feature will need to be connected to a 120 volt power source.
Page 9
sales@clean-air.com
1-866-665-1829
www.clean-air.com
7.3.6 If your unit is equipped with any optional electrical features, then these will need to be connected to the appropriate power source.
NOTE: Instructions that detail the operation of Turbo Digital Pulse Control is available under separate cover. A copy of the instructions should have been supplied with the unit.
NOTE: The digital reverse jet pulse controller with “Pulse on Shut down” feature must be wired with a continuous 115 volt supply. The control must not be wired in parallel with the fan motor starter. (Exception is when using an Amtech combination motor starter with disconnect as this has a dedicated 115V transformer.)
7.4 Compressed Air
NOTE: The compressed air installation should be performed by a qualified installer and in accordance with local, state, and national codes/regulations/laws (if any).
7.4.1 Compressed air is used to clean the dust coated cartridge filters with a high pressure reverse jet pulse. A one inch diameter dedicated supply with a minimum of 80 PSI and a maximum of 100 PSI is recommended. An air regulator may be necessary to step down the supply air if the plant pressure is above the recommended rating. NOT complying will result in component damage. 7.4.2 The air supply line to the accumulator tank must include water, oil and particulate filtration. Water and especially oil in the compressed air will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the reverse jet pulse cleaning by contaminating the cartridge filters and causing excessive differential pressure across the filters, which results in greatly reduced air flow along with premature filter replacement. 7.4.3 A 200 PSI gage has been pre-installed to monitor air pressure. Prior to the final connection of the air line to the collector manifold, the air line should be purged. This will remove debris that could damage the valves and block the nozzles in the blow pipes.
NOTE: The compressed air source must be free of oil (and water). Oil (and water) will cause premature failure of the cartridge filters.
7.5 Smoke Detection/Fire Suppression (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: All of the smoke detection/fire suppression installation must be performed by a qualified technician and in accordance with local, state, and national codes/regulations/laws (if any).
7.5.1 Smoke detection and fire suppression is an important aspect of the installation procedure. Fires are a common occurrence in dust collection systems and the comprehensive collection system should be designed for when a fire occurs, not if. Various systems are available for smoke detection and an even greater list of fire suppression technologies exist. Fire sprinkler systems for collectors MUST be properly connected. In most cases, this is the closest building’s fire sprinkler system. ALL smoke detection/fire suppression systems should be periodically inspected and maintained.
7.6 HEPA/SAFETY FILTERS (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: All of the smoke detection/fire suppression installation must be performed by a qualified technician and in accordance with local, state, and national codes/regulations/laws (if any).

7.6.1 The Environmental Booth Modules with HEPA/SAFETY filter assembly option are general shipped with the HEPA/SAFETY filter assembly (including top plate of the collector) as a separate component. Therefore, to install complete the following steps: • Locate the collector, the top outlet panel (attached to the HEPA/SAFETY assembly), and supplied bolts. • Apply silicon sealant to the top portion of the down draft table (where the top outlet panel/HEPA/SAFETY assembly attaches). • Place the top outlet panel/HEPA/SAFETY assembly on top of the main unit (align the bolt holes). • Insert and hand tighten the supplied bolts to secure the assembly. • After all bolts have been “hand tightened”, then “snug” the bolts. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
8. PRE-START UP
8.1 If not already verified in the electrical section, check rotation of fan by tur ning “ON” for a brief instant (JOG) and verifying rotation. Rotation must be clockwise when viewed “OVER THE MOTOR” from the discharge side. If the rotation is correct, start the motor.
8.2 It is suggested that new filters be properly pre-conditioned with pre-coat before start up. Please contact your Clean Air Industries Distributor for assistance.
8.3 Check the compressed air system for leaks. Confirm 80 PSI minimum air pressure (maximum 100 PSI).
Warning: Compressed air pressure higher than 100 PSI can damage the filters and the dust collector’s structural integrity.
8.4 Check that the compression couplings of the pulse valves are tight.
8.5 Manually activate (if so equipped) the reverse cleaning valves.
8.6 Check each valve for leaks. NOTE: It is normal for the bleed air port to release a burst of air at each pulse.
8.7 Check the adequacy of air supply by assuring no less than 35% drop in pressure during pulse.
9. START UP
9.1 Apply compressed air to the manifold.
9.2 Energize (push the START button) for the main blower.
9.3 Energize the Turbo Digital Pulse Control (reverse jet pulse control), if so equipped.
9.4 Energize the lighting, and other auxiliary equipment, as required.
9.5 COMMENTS REGARDING FILTER DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE DURING OPERATION:
Page 11
sales@clean-air.com
1-866-665-1829
www.clean-air.com
9.5.1 Depending on operating conditions, reaching equilibrium for filter differential pressure may vary from a few hours to several weeks. Low dust loading will normally develop 2- 3” w.g., normal loading typically generates 3-6 ” w.g., and high loading varies from 6 - 10 ” w.g. 9.5.2 Low dust loading typically shows a steady level of differential pressure with very little fluctuations once equilibrium is reached. By contrast, heavy loading can produce s ignificant “Ups and Downs” in operating differential pressure. 9.5.3 If your unit is equipped with the programmable pulse control, then it is usually necessary to gradually (over a period of weeks or months) raise the high and low set points to reflect the normal buildup on the filters.
10. PRE-COAT
10.1 The pre-coat is a specially formulated conditioner that enhances the performance of filter cartridges. It creates a highly permeable, protective layer on the surface of the filter media. Pre-coat applied to new filters forms a protective barrier on the surface of the filter media that stops fine particles from becoming trapped in the media structure. By keeping particulate on the surface, away from the media, the media remains open over a longer period of time and this means longer filter life. This feature also improves cake release as surface-loaded dust releases more easily during pulse cleaning. 10.2 When replacing cartridge filters, the new filters need to be pre-coated with silica based cellulose or other acceptable pre-coat material available on the market. The following steps should be taken to introduce the pre-coat to the cartridges: • Remove the exhaust inlets on the front of the unit (the filter cartridges are now visible) • Power up the fan • Slowly introduce (1/2 lb. per cartridge) the pre-coat • Try to coat the cartridges evenly
10.3 Pre-coat can be obtained through your distributor or from Clean Air Industries .
11. SHUTDOWN
11.1 De-energize (push the STOP button) the blower motor. The digital reverse pulse cleaning systems are equipped with an “ Off Line Cleaning ” feature which activates the reverse jet pulse cleaning. This element will clean the filter cartridges while the unit is off line, for a preset number of pulses. Once the cleaning cycle is complete the collector is ready to be energized when needed.
11.2 Secure power to the digital reverse pulse control.
11.3 Secure power to the lights, and other auxiliary equipment.
CAUTION: Off line cleaning can cause pressure waves to feed back through system. Precautions may be necessary to prevent dusting.

12. Maintenance
12.1 Procedures
12.1.1 Dust Drawer or hopper: The dust drawers (or hopper contents) should be checked and emptied periodically. The frequency of this step will depend on the number of shifts operating and conditions in the plant; however, it is a good practice to frequently remove residue build up. 12.1.2 HEPA/SAFETY Filters: The HEPA/SAFETY filters (if so equipped) are located on top of the unit (inside the HEPA/SAFETY filter assembly). Periodically, these filters should be inspected and replaced. Condition of the HEPA/SAFETY filter will generally be a function of the Magnehelic gage (for the HEPA/SAFETY filters – NOT the cartridge filters) reading. To examine: • Remove the two wing nuts for each filter • Lift off the filter “tie down” bar • Remove HEPA/SAFETY filters • Install new HEPA/SAFETY filters • Install HEPA/SAFETY filter “tie down” bar • Install the two wing nuts for each filter. 12.1.3 Metal Mesh Filters: The metal mesh filters (if so equipped) should periodically be inspected and cleaned. Any buildup of material in the filters can lead to fires. To examine: • Remove the access panel • Pull out both metal mesh filters • Wash with soap and water, and air dry • Replace both metal mesh filters • Replace the access panel. 12.1.4 Spark Baffles: The spark baffles (if so equipped) are located underneath the grating and should be periodically cleaned with mild soap and water. To examine: • Remove the access panel • Pull out both spark baffles • Wash with soap and water, and air dry • Replace both spark baffles • Replace the access panel. 12.1.5 Cartridge Filters: The cartridge filters will need to be replaced periodically. The frequency varies from a few weeks to a few years, depending on factors such as density of fumes/dust, particle size, humidity of air, oil or grease contents of matter, etc… To change out: • Remove any device that would prevent the cartridges from being removed (cartridges are located underneath the valves) • Pull both cam lock levers towards (you) (the filter guide bars should drop down) • Remove cartridge filters (they should slide out) • Slide the new filters into the unit (be sure to push the first installed filter, as far back as possible) • Push both cam lock levers away (from you) (the filter guide bars should rise) • Replace the access door.
12.1.6 Drain Valve: Periodically open the drain valve attached below the tank to drain the liquid build-up in the air tank.
