Tips and Tricks (Cont.)
Rely on the dust collection experts for guidance. Due
5
to technical limitations, we do not offer our consulting
services for shops using third-party dust collectors.
Unlike Oneida Air Systems, other manufacturers do not
provide real-world airflow performance data. Without that
information, we cannot reliably size a ducting system for
those dust collectors.
The Super Dust Deputy was designed initially to be hooked
up to flex hose connections no longer than 20'. Metal duct
may allow for longer runs, but it all varies based on the
power of your blower/single stage collector.
Recommended best practices for ductwork:
a. Minimize the number of bends. See [FIG. 12a] for a
recommended drop setup.
b. Centrally locate the collector and keep ductwork runs
to a minimum. Locate your highest air requirement
machines closest to the collector. [FIG. 12b]
c. Use fittings designed for dust collection, not HVAC
fittings. [FIG 12c]:
i. 45 deg. wyes instead of 90 deg. tees.
ii. Long radius 90 deg. elbow instead of short radius
d. Seal all ductwork with silicone, duct tape, or metal
tape. Well sealed ductwork will ensure you have
maximum air available. All joints on adjustable elbows
should be sealed after installation.
