2.4 Electrical hazards
Before doing any work on the AAF equipment make sure that all potential
electrical hazards have been identified and that all electric current connected to
the equipment, and to any connected or associated equipment, has been properly
disconnected and securely locked-out to prevent accidental reconnection prior to
completion of the work. All electrical work shall be done in full accordance with the
current edition of NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code, and all other applicable
laws, rules, and regulations. All electrical work shall be performed by a licensed
electrician. Only original AAF parts shall be used as replacements for ongoing
maintenance and repair.
2.5 Rotating equipment
The FabriPulse M can include a fan which is installed on the top of the dust
collector, either on top of the collector or as an integral fan. The fan wheel rotates
at a nominal speed of 3,600 rpm and has the potential to cause severe injury. The
fan wheel could be accessed from inside the cabinet through the air inlet if the
pulse pipes are removed, and from outside the cabinet through the fan discharge.
All due care should be exercised to avoid any contact with the operating fan.
Under no circumstances should the fan ever be allowed to operate when any of the
access panels on the dust collector, or the silencer, have been removed. The fan
must be disconnected and locked out prior to the performance of any maintenance
work, see paragraph 2.4.
2.6 Safety guards
The dust collector cabinet prevents access to the fan inlet. All access panels
shall remain bolted in place while the fan is operating. Prior to the removal of any
access panels, the electrical power to the collector shall be disconnected and
locked out, see paragraphs 2.4 And 2.5. After electrical power is disconnected, the
fan wheel will continue to rotate for a period of time before coasting to a stop. Do
not access the fan until the fan wheel has come to a complete stop.
3 GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
3.1 Description
The FabriPulse M is a pre-assembled continuous and automatic self-cleaning
pulse-jet dust collector. The FabriPulse M is a complete pulse-jet collector system
capable of providing continuous on-line cleaning. This collector utilizes high
efficiency bag filter elements arranged in a vertical arrangement. Dust laden air
enters in the high inlet and moves in a true down flow direction between the
filters. The airstream passes through the media as the dust is collected on the
