Page 3: Safety Warnings
1. SAFETY WARNINGS PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION. ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL. NOTE – Statements identified with a NOTE indicate precautions necessary to avoid potential equipment failure. CAUTION – Statements identified with a CAUTION indicate potential safety hazards. - Page 4 8. Under no condition should machine operator put a lit cigarette or any burning object into the hood or ducting of the dust control system. 9. When the materials being collected by the system create the risk of fire or explosion, the appropriate collection system design must be used to comply with all material (NFPA) and local fire codes.

Page 5: Introduction
Neutro-Vac Systems consist of a vacuum hood, ducting and a dust collector. Vacuum hoods are designed to eliminate static charges and physically scour dust and debris from the surface of a web, sheet or part. - Page 6 Figure 2: Vacuum Hood Intake Options Option 1 – Non-Contact Simco-Ion’s static bars (IQ Easy or MEB) are used with a compressed air tube to eliminate static charges on webs and other materials. Particles are subjected to an aggressive blast of compressed air which lifts debris from the web. Debris is captured and drawn into the vacuum system through the inlet.

• Use long sweep elbows. • Avoid using tees and short radius elbows because they produce unacceptable vacuum losses. • Use only ductwork recommended by Simco-Ion. • Appropriate ductwork diameters are critical to airflow. Neut ro-V ac 5 2 0 0 4 7 0 R e v B... -
Page 10: Ductwork Installation For All Units
Ductwork should be of a proper size to permit passage of the air velocities recommended for the material being collected. A complete selection of galvanized steel pipe elbows, branches and fittings are available from Simco-Ion. Stainless steel components are also available upon special order. If you require any assistance in the design or selection of ductwork, contact your local Simco-Ion representative. -

Method 1 Power unit is equipped with a 3-conductor line cord. On power supplies designed for 120 VAC operation, the line cord is fitted with a standard 3-prong plug and should be plugged into a 3-terminal grounded receptacle. On power supplies designed for 220 VAC operation, the AC line cord is not normally supplied with the plug. -

NOTE – Various inlet sizes are available. Please specify size required at the time of ordering your Neutro-Vac System. If unit is operated with more than maximum permissible inlet area, the fan motor may become overloaded or dust may settle within the ductwork due to low carrying velocities. - Page 15 WARNING – Verify that the air exhaust at the top of the collector is not blocked. Verify that materials are not stored over the exhaust opening. Stand clear of fan exhaust during rotation. 2. Start fan motor and visually verify that the blower wheel is turning in the direction indicated by the rotation arrow on the blower housing.

Secure the air bar with set screws in mounting brackets. Dust Collector Maintenance WARNING – Disconnect and lockout power to the Neutro-Vac Web Cleaning System before performing all maintenance procedures unless otherwise instructed. Turn off web drive equipment and remove web (if possible) before performing maintenance. - Page 21 DCX500, DC550, DC1200, DC1500 and DC3000 Cartridge Style Collector (see Figure 12) Figure 12: Dust Collector (Cartridge Style) Filter Cleaning Dust collectors are off-line cleaning. Cleaning is done only after the fan is shut off. The control timer is automatically energized to start the cartridge cleaning sequence when the fan is shut off.
- Page 22 NOTE – A slight bleed-through on any new filter is normal and will quickly disappear as the filter seasons. If bleed through persists, contact your Simco-Ion representative. Neut ro-V ac 5 2 0 0 4 7 0 R e v B...
- Page 23 DC66, DC75, DC84, and DC90 Bag Style Collectors (see Figure 13) Figure 13: Dust Collector (Bag Style) Filter Cleaning Cabinet collectors are off line cleaners. Cleaning cannot take place until 60 seconds after the blower is turned off. NOTE – Attempting to clean the filter while the collector is operating will cause the dust to penetrate the filter media and shorten filter life.
- Page 24 1. Shake the filters to remove any clinging material daily. To perform this operation, push down vigorously on the filter shaker lever located on the side of the cabinet. On the hopper model, pull handle firmly. 2. Hand brushing may be required if the collected material sticks to the filters. Care must be taken to prevent the tearing or puncturing of the filter cloth.
