SVU
In each individual case vent design, vent ducts and pressure resistant design
are worked out by DonaldsonTorit for the specific products, circumstances and
environment, and should never be altered unless Donaldson Torit has given
explicit admission.
All electrical equipment should be dust explosion proof according to the zoning
and surface temperature limitations of the equipment.
The dust collector cannot be used in a potentially explosive atmosphere
(according to ATEX directive 2014/34/EU), unless stated otherwise on the
nameplate of the unit and the scope of delivery.
The collector should never handle explosive or flammable materials or explosive
dusts.
The collector should never be used for products that can cause bacteriological
contamination.
The collector should be located at a minimum distance of 10 meter from any
heat source to prevent sparks from jumping over.
The user of the dust collector is responsible for disposal of any dust generated
by the process, in acoordance with local regulations.
The SVU can not be used as an element for discharging overpressure inside
closed volumes. One or more blow-off valves must be provided on the silo to
keep the pressure level within the filter resistance limits.
The dust collector will not prevent explosions or overpressure. The Silo Vent
Unit is not a pressure relief valve.
The air flow handled by the dust collector must never exceed the value defined
in our product specifications.
Using the dust collector when the components (filter elements, cleaning
system, etc.) are not in perfect condition can cause personal injuries and/or
pollution.
Do not start operating the dust collector before the equipment in which it is
to be incorporated has been declared conforming to the relevant national and
local legislative provisions in force.
A prudent user of Donaldson Torit dust collectors should:
•
Take every possible precaution to prevent a fire or explosion from
occurring.
•
Consult with their insurance carrier or local authorities regarding
the hazardous nature of dust produced.
•
Use only authorised replacement parts supplied by Donaldson Torit.
•
Unless otherwise specified, DO NOT exceed operating pressure
as specified by technical data.
•
Insure that the operating temperature of the dust collector does not
exceed 60° C.
•
Refer to guidelines VDI 3673.
