What is a dust collector?
Air Cleaner Terminology: Frequently Asked Questions About Th...Dust collectors generally refer to industrial cleaners used in high contaminant loading applications. They commonly use compressed air to backflush the cartridges free of excessive contaminant to allow air to continue flowing. Commonly used in the collection of dust, smoke or any other dry contaminant. Not typically feasible for use with wet applications.
Related QuestionsSupportTo blast small parts accurately you need to be able to see the parts clearly. Removing the very fine micro-abrasives from the workstation requires more than a simple shop vacuum. Only an industrial grade dust collection system can provide appropriate airflow through the work chamber to extract the spent abrasive, as well as the proper filter material to trap the minute particles, returning clean air to the room.Related Questions
What is the efficiency of a dust collector?
FAQ'sA properly sized dust collector is 99.9% efficient by weight (of inlet loading) down to one micron. This means if the dust collector loading is 100 pounds per hour, the bags will capture 99.9 pounds of the dust that is over one micron. This is a minimum efficiency figure. Pleated elements and special fabrics can improve efficiency. Top
Related QuestionsWhy do I need a dust collector on top of my silo?
FAQ'sApproximately 50 pounds (or more) of dust are exhausted into the atmosphere. A properly sized dust collector will capture this dust and return it to the silo. Top
Related QuestionsWhat dust collector do you recommend?
Bill's Cyclone & Dust Collection Research - FAQsI don't recommend a dust collector unless you can vent it outside. I bought a Jet DC-1100 similar to the one Dizzy recommended and liked it for my small shop with almost no ducting. With just a single short smooth walled flex hose it and the similar sized Delta 1.5 hp dust collector each have plenty of power for my large planer and my drum sander. I would suggest the Jet DC-1200 or bigger Delta for those who use ducting or have a bigger shop.
Related QuestionsDo I need a permit to install a dust collector?
FAQ'sCheck with your local code enforcement agency, but in most cases you do need a permit. You can get fined for installing the dust collector without getting prior authorization. Top
Related QuestionsI have a two-compartment silo. Can I use one dust collector?
FAQ'sYou can use a single fan-assisted dust collector. You also need to install intervent ductwork between the two compartments. This ductwork is twice the diameter of the fill pipe and designed like an inverted "V" with a minimum 45º angle to allow the dust to fall back into the silo. You can also use this approach if you have two silos. Remember, always put the collector at the highest point on the silo. If handling cement and flyash, put the collector on the flyash silo.
Related QuestionsI already have a dust collector, how do I size my dust collection system?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThere are many woodworkers that buy a dust collector on the basis of a CFM number. Unfortunately, the air volume they are given is called "free air delivery", which means there is not any pipe attached to the dust collector. This CFM number may very well be enough air to evacuate the machines, but when you add pipe to the collector you add resistance (static pressure). When resistance is put on a collector, the CFM delivery decreases.
Related QuestionsHow do I know if I need to have a permit for my baghouse or dust collector?
Welcome to STANDARD FILTERMore than likely you are required to have a permit, either state or federal for a baghouse or dust collector. Your first point of contact should be your local permitting authority for air pollution sources. Permits for business are usually administered at the state or local community level. Contact your State Small Business Assistance Program or your State Environmental Agency for assistance with this matter. Don't throw in the towel. You MAY have an out.
Related QuestionsHow do I size the dust collector for my silo pneumatic filling operation?
FAQ'sWhen designing a dust collector for a silo, the following information is required: fill line size; quantity of lines filling at one time; air flow and pressure; loading time and material handled. Most applications use a single 4" or 5" diameter fill line running at 350 cfm @ 12-15 PSI for approximately 45 minutes. The material handled is either cement, flyash, or sand. A mechanical shaker dust collector with 250 sq.ft. of cloth area will be adequate for these applications. Top
Related QuestionsI just overfilled my silo. Have I damaged the dust collector?
FAQ'sIf you have just overfilled your silo, inspect the dust collector before you do anything else. Open the door and see if the bags have been damaged or are full of product. Do not turn on the shaker motor or more damage may occur. If the bags have a lot of dust in them, but are not ballooning out, shake each bag down by hand until all the dust is removed. If you are lucky, the bags will be OK. If the bags have ballooned out, or if some of the bags have come off the tubesheet, replace all of them.
Related QuestionsI am offloading from a rail car. What dust collector do I use?
FAQ'sGenerally you would use a pulse jet, continuous cleaning dust collector. On occasion, when compressed air is not available, you may be able to use the 72-CS two-compartment mechanical shaker collector. This collector allows one compartment to shut down and shake while the other side is on-line. Top When picking the right dust collector for a weigh hopper, the rule of thumb is 50 cfm per cubic yard. For example, a 3-cubic yard weigh hopper would require a dust collector that would handle 150 cfm.
Related QuestionsCan I vent my weigh hopper to a central dust collector?
FAQ'sMost weigh hoppers have a 6" diameter exhaust vent. By positioning a flared circular hood over the vent, you can capture the dust that escapes from the weigh hopper. The hood cannot be attached to the weigh hopper and must be designed for 500 cfm. Top

Related QuestionsLocation of Dust Collector - Is it a good idea to locate my collector outside my shop?
Frequently Asked QuestionsYes, it is a good idea to locate your collector in an enclosure on an outside wall of the shop. A couple of benefits are saving floor space, and most of the noise will be contained in the enclosure. One important recommendation is to cut a filter frame near the ceiling, on the common wall between the enclosure and the shop, and insert a furnace filter. A 20" X 20" filter is normally adequate. This will allow air to re-circulate back into the shop.

Bill's Cyclone & Dust Collection Research - FAQsOther than normal tool maintenance meaning keeping your unit clean, ensuring the cord does not become frayed, etc., there are only a few things you need to do to maintain your blower. I think all DC and Cyclone blower impellers and blowers should be checked at least quarterly and cleaned of any dust and pitch buildup. Additionally, you need to regularly clean your filters and if you bought washable filters you need to occasionally wash your filters.
