4.1 Location
It is recommended to mount the TDS dust
collector on a reinforced concrete
foundation. It is also possible to install the
dust collector on another structure.
For the calculation of the load on the
foundation or on the structure; the
following factors will have to be
considered: the weight of the dust
collector, if necessary including fan/motor
units, as well as the maximum weight of
the dust taking into account the hopper
capacity and eventually the snow and the
wind conditions to be expected locally.
(see scope of delivery, specification sheet
and outline).
There should not be any obstructions
near the place where the collector is to be
located, for pipes, wires or protruding
roofs could cause problems for the crane
which in most cases will be necessary to
put the collector on the right spot.
To save time it is recommended to
prepare the foundation before the
collector arrives and in that case it is
essential to locate the anchor bolts
correctly.
The dust collector should be located with
consideration for:
•emptying the dust disposal (item 11, fig. 1)
•shortest runs of inlet and outlet ductwork
•radius bends on elbows as big as possible
•easy access to electrical and compressed
air connections
•convenience of maintenance.
4.2 Required tools and equipment
•Crane/Fork lift
•Slings/ Clevis Pins and adequate lifting
equipment
•Standard tools (e.g. screwdrivers,
wrenches, etc.)
•Drill
•Pipe Sealant
5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Unloading and transporting to
location
èNOTE
Before unloading remove all packing and
strapping.
•A crane is recommended for the
unloading, transport and installation of the
dust collector. A crane will be needed to
put the hopper in position on the
foundation and after that, the top section of
the collector on top of the hopper.
CAUTION
Chains or slings with an adequate safe
working load must be used. Refer to the
collector nameplate for weight of
equipment supplied by Torit DCE. The
chains must be long enough to ensure
that the lifting angle between diagonal
chains is not greater than 90°. When
using a forklift the forks must be of a
suitable length and adjusted to ensure a
stable lift.
èNOTE
Depending on the order, the hopper and
leg set come already pre-mounted. Only
the collector will still need to be mounted
on the hopper. Follow steps 6 and 7 when
this is the case.
1. Stand the hopper(s) up with the disposal
end up (hopper outlet).
2. Use drift pins to align the holes in the
hopper gussets and legs, and attach the
legs with the M16 x 40 bolts, washers and
nuts. Do not tighten hardware at this
time!
3. Use drift pins to align the holes in the
crossbracings on the rear side of the leg
set.
4. Recheck the position of the legs and
crossbracings against Figure ‘Leg bolting
details and ‘Standard Leg Packs’ and the
drawing.
5. Flip over the now-assembled hopper/leg
pack assembly so that it is standing on its
legs (hopper outlet pointing down). This
step may require a crane.
6. Lift the assembled collector onto the
foundation. Fasten each footplate of the
leg anchor bolts with flat washers, lock
washers and nuts. Do not tighten
hardware at this time! (Depending on the
type of anchor bolts, anchor bolts can be
mounted afterwards).
