Donaldson Company, Inc. Safety Communication Improper operation of dust collectors and/or dust control systems may contribute to conditions in a work area or facility which could result in severe personal injury, and product or property damage. All dust collection equipment should be used only for its intended purpose and should be properly selected and sized for its intended use.
Product Description ® air stream. The standard collector comes equipped with an inlet near the top of the collector which allows an integrated fan to draw standard pulse cleaning controls can be upgraded to allow for ‘down-time’ collector is positioned and anchored in place. Plant power is wired to the top mounted junction box. Compressed air is supplied to collector is ready for operation.
Donaldson Company, Inc. Standard Equipment Inlet Filters are installed in the correct orientation and direction during servicing. Delta P-C01 Control The DFEP ships with a Delta P controller to monitor differential pressure between the clean-air and dirty-air plenums and provides The Delta P control and a pulse control timer manage pulse cleaning from user established High and Low Pressure Set Points.
Dust Bin The standard dust bin is located below the hopper to collect dust removed from the air stream. The dust bin is sealed to the hopper discharge with a convenient clamping arrangement which lifts the dust bin against a sealing gasket on the base of the hopper to ensure a dust tight seal during operation.
The DFEP can be equipped with factory installed explosion relief panels to support a process owner's combustible dust mitigation strategy. Explosion vent sizing follows NFPA-68 formulas assuming outdoor location of the collector, with no duct or obstruction on the explosion vent panel(s). Contact Donaldson Torit for explosion venting requirements for other conditions. Remote Mounted Controls The DFEP controls can be provided external rather than internal to the collector if desired.
Operation During normal operation, dust-laden air is drawn into the collector through a duct connected to the inlet box, near the top of the collector. The dust-laden air is then directed downward through the collector body where heavier dust falls directly into the hopper. air passes into the clean-air plenum where it is drawn through the fan and is discharged through the clean-air outlet.
Donaldson Company, Inc. DFEP Operation Checklist more frequently if more than 2/3 full. • The DFEP collector can be interlocked to start and stop operation with associated fume producing equipment. Observe is shut down. • If the DFEP is operated independently from associated fume producing equipment the DFEP should be turned on before turning on any associated equipment, and shut off after the associated equipment is shut down.
Product Service During any service activities there is some potential for exposure to the dust in the collector. Most dusts present safety and health hazards that require precautions. Wear eye, respiratory, head, and other protection equipment suitable for the type of dust when performing any service activities.. LOCK-OUT all energy sources prior to performing any service or maintenance on the equipment.

Donaldson Company, Inc. Diaphragm Valve Repair A damaged diaphragm valve can be serviced, repaired or replaced. To repair or replace a damaged valve: may indicate a damaged cleaning valve). 2. Turn off the collector and Lock-Out all energy sources being certain to close the compressed air shut off valve (owner supplied) and bleed pressure from the DFEP manifold.
Filter Access Cover Assembly Replacement 1. Turn off collector and Lock-Out all energy sources 4. Remove the Access Cover Pin, Clevis and E-Clip from the collector end of the access cover hinge assembly. the upper and lower Hinge Pin Shoulder Spacers. After the knob has been hand tightened (3-turns) a tool assist may be used.
Donaldson Company, Inc. Yoke Replacement (Special tool required) 1. Turn off the collector and Lock-Out all energy sources. 5. Open the control panel access door. Locate and remove the nuts, fender washers and star washers from the damaged yoke through the control panel access door.
Fan and Motor Replacement To replace a damaged fan or motor assembly: 1. Turn off the collector and Lock-Out all energy sources. 2. Open the dust bin access door. 3. Remove the dust bin. (If collector has an extended capacity dust bin, skip to Step 5.) 4.

Troubleshooting Problem Probable Cause Remedy Not wired correctly Check supply voltage and wiring connections. Review Fan/blower does not motor manufacturer’s wiring diagram, collector wiring start schematics, and the National Electric Code and correct any wiring errors. Electrical circuit down Check power supply and correct any faults to restore power.

Claims Inspector to substantiate all damage claims. Compare the collector received with the description of product ordered. Report any incomplete shipments to the delivery carrier and your Donaldson Torit representative (DFEP Collectors are generally packaged and shipped laying on their side) Unloading and Positioning Failure to lift the collector correctly can result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
Provisional Anchor Bolt Recommendations The quantity of anchor bolts should match the number of holes provided in the base plates of the collector. Anchor diameter is Anchor should project typically 1/8-inch less than the baseplate hole diameter. Anchors a minimum of 1 3/4-in should project a minimum of 1 ¾...

Initial Start-up / Commissioning Once the DFEP has been placed, anchored and connected to electrical power, compressed air and to a duct from the associated equipment, the collector is ready for initial start and commissioning. Typical commissioning sequence: 1. Once powered, verify the Delta P-C01 (or Delta P Plus) comes “on line” and shows a filter restriction of near zero on the digital display.
Donaldson Company, Inc. Decommissioning Collector Once the collector has reached the end of operational life it will need to be decommissioned. During decommissioning, there is potential for exposure to the dust in the collector. Most dusts present safety and health hazards that require precautions\. Wear eye, respiratory, head, and other protection equipment suitable for the type of dust when performing any decommissioning activities.
