Industrial dust collector machine – Avlon Cyclone Separator- Operating Instructions
Avlon Inc, has prepared your new Industrial dust collector machine for shipment in accordance with the Uniform Freight Classification. It has been thoroughly inspected at the factory and, barring damage in transit, should be in excellent condition upon arrival.
The Avlon Inc, Industrial dust collector machine and accessory equipment should be inspected upon receipt for any shipping damage. If dampers or shutters are provided, check these accessories for free operation of all moving parts. When a carrier signs the Avlon Inc, bill of lading, the carrier accepts the responsibility for any subsequent shortages or damage, evident or concealed, and any claim must be made against the carrier by the purchaser. Evident shortage or damage should be noted on the carrier’s delivery document before signature of acceptance. Inspection by the carrier of damage, evident or concealed, must be requested. After inspection, issue a purchase order for necessary parts or arrange for return of the equipment to Avlon Inc, for repair.
Industrial dust collector machine Handling and Storage
Avlon Inc, industrial dust collector machine are shipped completely assembled and skidded when size permits. These units may be handled and moved using good rigging techniques, being careful to avoid concentrated stresses that will distort any of the parts. Items or parts of the industrial dust collector machine that are shipped separately (knocked down) will be clearly labeled for reassembly.
If the cyclone is not to be installed promptly, store it in a clean, dry location to prevent rust and corrosion of steel components. If outdoor storage is necessary, protection should be provided. Cover the inlets and outlets to prevent the accumulation of dirt and moisture inside the housing. Refer to the cyclone maintenance section of this manual regarding any further storage instructions.
Industrial dust collector machine Installation
To ensure appropriate cyclone operation, the unit must be adequately supported and properly installed. After unpacking and inspection has been completed, install the Cyclone with the following guidelines:
The Cyclone has locations where the equipment necessary for lifting the device can be attached. These will be the lifting lugs and/or the frame mounts of the cyclone where it will be attached to a support structure.
Lifting the cyclone at any other point is hazardous and may compromise human safety as well as the structural integrity of cyclone itself.
The cyclone must be lifted by a means with sufficient lifting capacity.
CAUTION: Use the proper equipment when lifting or moving the Cyclone. Make sure all persons and obstructions are clear from path and installation area.
Avlon Inc, Industrial dust collector machine may be supported in two different ways. Smaller industrial dust collector machine may be designed to be supported by the duct work or machinery connected to them, but most are designed with frame mounts in order to be supported by an additional structure or framework. The unit should only be mounted on a structure designed to support it. The cyclone must be separately grounded, and installed on steel construction intended for this purpose. Product inlet or outlet transitions are not designed to support the weight of accessory equipment such as an airlock valve. If the unit is installed outdoors, cross bracing from the angle iron frame may be required for wind loading connections. The Cyclone should be installed in a level position, to prevent material from flowing to one side of the unit, thereby ensuring proper and efficient operation. Remove all foreign material before fully enclosing and operating the cyclone.
Place a bead of caulking (or any provided gasket material) to seal the inlet and outlet points of the cyclone during installation. Proper installation of the cyclone also includes assembling the duct work and required machinery to the cyclone, fully enclosing it for quality operation. The unit should only be operated once it is properly connected and fully encapsulated. All duct work or stacks should be independently supported as excess weight may distort the cyclone assembly, causing improper airflow which may affect the efficiency of the unit, and all subsequent points in the system.
Mounting Points
Lifting Lugs
NOTE: To ensure proper operation and optimum cyclone efficiency, inlet and outlet ductwork design is critical. The ductwork should have a length of straight section from the inlet and outlet of the cyclone that is at least five times the diameter of the duct. If this not possible, elbows in the ductwork should be oriented in a manner that refrains from countering the air rotation inside the cyclone. This will help maintain efficiency. Some acceptable examples include:
General Operating Information
The Avlon Inc, Cyclone classifies dry particles on the basis of terminal velocity. It can make precise separations of particles having differences in terminal velocities. A particle having a lower terminal velocity will be picked up by air moving at a lower velocity than will a particle having a higher terminal velocity As the airflow is increased, particles having higher and higher terminal velocities are removed. The system should be designed with sufficient fan capacity so that the operator is able to remove more material than required. Fine-tuning the system can be accomplished by adjusting the airflow by use of a damper to that which corresponds to or exceeds the terminal velocity of all of the particles that are desired to be removed from the product stream.
Since the terminal velocity of a particle is influenced by, not only the size of the particle, but also its shape and density, there are instances where small dense particles are lifted at the same airflow as large winged particles. Separation of these particles that have the same terminal velocity, but different size and shape, can be improved by Avlon Inc, Multi-Aspiration system, or by sifting (screening). The flow and arrangement of the equipment must be determined by the operator for each product and for each system on an individual basis.
