Salient Characteristics for Commercial Cyclone or Equivalent Dust Collector and Duct

1. The 97th Logistics Readiness Squadron, Traffic Management Office has submitted to purchase a new commercial cyclone dust collector to replace the old system which is currently out of compliance with OSHA Standards (OSHA Technical Manual Section IV, Chap 6). As air discharges from the woodworking operation, sanding and sawing units shall be processed by cyclones or equivalent (90% or higher efficiency) PM emissions control devices. Filters and cyclones shall be maintained per manufacturer’s recommendations. The following list summarizes the Cyclone Dust Collector and Duct characteristics:

HOUSING CONSTRUCTION: 14-to-16-gauge steel housing all welded construction rated for -20 ″wg. The cone section is bolted on for easy replacement in case of wear and abrasion.

PAINT SYSTEM – STANDARD FINISH: Exterior surfaces finished with a durable, multi-coat textured liquid or powder finish that meets an ASTM B117 salt spray test of 2,000 hours on standardized test panels. The exterior color will be Torit Blue. The interior shall be primed with a durable liquid or powder primer.

BASE WITH 55-GALLON DRUM COVER PACK AND LEGS AND LATCHES:

Base provides a flex hose and cover with latches that fits over the top of a customer provided 55-gallon drum.

BASE WITH TWO 55-GALLON DRUM COVER PACK AND LEGS AND

LATCHES: Base provides two sets of flex hoses and covers with latches that fit over the top of two customer provided 55-gallon drums.

POWER PACK WITH 5 hp DIRECT DRIVE 60 Hz, 3 PHASE MOTOR AND ALUMINUM FAN WHEEL: Provides durable, long-lasting airflow through the cyclone.

EASY DUCT INLET ADAPTER: Provides inlet that easily accepts Donaldson Easy Duct™ or Equivalent.

HELICAL BAFFLE: The Cyclone includes an inner helix baffle which minimizes inlet zone turbulence which can result in the poor dust collection performance found in competitor cyclones.

LONG TAPERED, REMOVABLE CONE: Another way of increasing cyclone efficiencies is to have a longer cone which increases product dropout at the bottom of the cyclone.

COMPLETE PACKAGED SOLUTION: Top-mounted fans that are designed specifically for each size of cyclone to maximize efficiency are available to help save floor space. In addition, there are multiple dust collection options beneath the cyclone itself to meet any dust storage needs from 55-gallon drums to easy access cabinet bases with removable dust drawers, to hoppers with slide gates surge hoppers for rotary valves.

Offers multiple after-filter options to further increase efficiencies.
