PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Location
The dust collector should be located with consideration for:
• emptying the dust disposal (see figure 1, page 8)
• shortest runs of inlet and outlet ductwork
• radius bends on elbows as big as possible
• easy access to electrical and compressed air connections
• convenience of maintenance
Consult the technical specification sheet and drawings for the dust collector
weight and dimensions.
For calculating for foundation or supporting structure consider the following factors:
• the weight of the dust collector
• the material being collected
• all auxiliary equipment
• live loads
• for outdoor installation: snow and wind loads
Required tools and equipment
• crane/fork lift
• slings/clevis pins and adequate lifting equipment
• standard tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.)
• drill
• pipe sealant
Delivery and inspection
The dust collector is normally shipped by truck and should be checked for any
damage that may have occurred during shipping.
Note that the bursting panel is always shipped mounted upside-down on the dust
collector top flange to prevent any damage.
On top of the bursting panel a galvanised plate is positioned to protect the panel from
damage during transportation. The bursting panel and galvanised plate are secured in
place with 4 bolts. The other bolts, nuts and washers and the burst indicator switch
are delivered together with the dust collector.
Compare the parts received against the packing list. If there is damage or parts
missing, notify the delivery company and your local Donaldson Torit representative.
Parts shipped loose with the delivery (depending on your order):
• dust disposal system • platform • legs and bracings
• transition pieces • spare parts • control box
• fan set • anchor bolts • damper pack
• fan box • hardware/sealant • bursting panel
• silencer • hopper • burst indicator set
