Torit Radial Blade Fan TRB-1 through TRB-10 Combustible Dust Hazards Among other considerations, the current NFPA standards require owners whose processes involve potentially combustible materials to have a current Dust Hazard Analysis, which can serve as the foundation for their process hazard mitigation strategy.
TRB Fans have computer balanced fan and motor assemblies to ensure vibration-free operation. When mounted to a Donaldson Torit Dust collector, the fan is designed to pull dusty air through the collector to be filtered.
Turn all power off and lock out all power before performing service or maintenance work. It is not unusual for the equipment to be operated from a remote location, so equipment may start or stop unexpectedly. Donaldson Torit TRB fans are manufactured to high standards with quality materials and components. Proper maintenance will ensure a long and trouble-free service life.
Donaldson Company, Inc. Motor Maintenance TRB Fans typically use motors with sealed bearings that are permanently lubricated for the life of the motor, but other types of motors may have been selected for your fan. Grease Motors Use the following steps for greaseable motors only: 1.

Torit Radial Blade Fan TRB-1 through TRB-10 TRB fans are shipped assembled and partial disassembly is required before installing. 1. Disassemble the TRB by the blower housing fasteners and splitting the blower halves. The motor half contains the motor, half of the blower housing, and the blower wheel.
Donaldson Company, Inc. Motor Drain Hole Orientation (for Side Mounted Fans) Motor drain holes must be oriented downward to prevent water accumulation in the motor and extend motor life. Specifically for side mounted fans (motor horizontal) confirm the motor drain hole will be oriented facing down in the fan installed orientation.
Torit Radial Blade Fan TRB-1 through TRB-10 Side Mount Fan and Adaptor Installation (for MB collectors) The side mount fan adaptor allows a TRB/TBI fan blower to be mounted directly to the Modular Baghouse outlet on the rear of the collector housing.
Donaldson Company, Inc. Duct Connections and Support Any duct or attenuator/silencer should have independent support. Do not use the fan to support duct or attenuator/silencer. Isolating the fan from duct with flex connections reduces transmission of vibration. Fans handling hot gases must be rated for operation at the gas temperature and require expansion joints at both the inlet and discharge to prevent excessive loads caused by thermal growth.
