ACT Dust Collectors
CAUTION!
Accidents happen, be careful and always follow all local and federal regulations!
Fires and explosions do occur in dust collectors. Many items in a dust form can become very flammable and/or
explosive. It is very important that when installing a dust collector to check with and abide by all local and federal
regulations. Precautions such as spark traps, detectors, and extinguishers are always recommended when sparks or
explosive danger is present. Never throw any burning objects into the duct work or dust collector. There is no way to
guarantee 100% prevention of fires. However, the methods mentioned above will greatly reduce your risk. ACT
Dust Collectors will not be responsible in any way for any loss or damage associated with fires or explosions in your
dust collector.
If your dust collector came with explosion vents or if explosive dusts are present, it is the owner’s/operator’s
responsibility for full compliance with all authorities having jurisdiction. It is recommended that the NFPA codes be
studied and applied, including, but not limited to 68, 69 and 654. Included in the NFPA standards is the issue of
isolating your dust collector. Please contact us or an expert in the area regarding isolation of your dust collector in
the event of an explosion. Unless a Kst test was performed, and we were provided with the results, the size of the
explosion vents may be inaccurate and you may not be in compliance. It is the owner/operators responsibility to
verify the Kst and Pmax values. We recommend that your process be evaluated regularly to make sure that you
remain in compliance and the vent area is sufficient. ACT Dust Collectors will not be responsible for ANY loss
whatsoever resulting from an explosion associated with an ACT dust collector.
Dust collectors are tall and top heavy. Always be careful when handling them. Make sure your equipment is capable
of making the lifts and moves you are trying to make. Be sure the foundation for the dust collector is proper and
secure.
All plumbing and electrical should be performed by certified professionals and meet all codes and regulations.
Never open any doors or access panels while the machine is in operation.
Always shut down the unit prior to service and lock out all disconnects.
Always wear proper safety equipment when working on or around your dust collector and follow all local and federal
codes.
