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.
