Warning
If the air coming out of the suction fan contains dust. Stop immediately the X-150 and check for
leakages. Never operate with dust coming out of the suction fan since the suction fan will be worn out.
This can cause severe damages.
Warning
Always turn the X-150 off while moving the equipment. Quick movements of the X-150 can cause
excessive forces on the suction fan. This can cause severe damages
Warning
The X-150 contains rotating and moving parts. When servicing the X-150 make sure the hydraulic
power is switched off, the pneumatic pressure is evacuated and the electric circuit is switched off.
Caution
Components are heavy. Please use lifting devices where necessary to avoid accidents and damages.

Safety regulations
These instructions contain important sections dealing with safety.
Special attention must be paid to all framed safety text that begins with a warning symbol (triangle)
followed by a signal word, as shown below.
Warning denotes a hazard or hazardous procedure which CAN lead to serious or life
threatening injuries if the warning is not observed.
Caution denotes a risk or risky procedure which CAN lead to personal injury or damage
to equipment if the warning is not observed.
Also observe the following general safety rules:
Before starting the machine, read through these instructions carefully.
Also read through the safety instructions before putting the machine to use.
For reasons of product safety, the machine must not be modified.
Use approved personal protective equipment.
Use ILMEG Genuine Parts only.
Always replace worn or damaged signs.

Specification X-150 Dust Collector System
Specification:
Speed of the fan 4000 rpm
Filter area: 16 m²
Number of filters: 4
Filter cleansing system: Reversed air through filters in sequences while operating
Rec. working pressure: 7 Bar (100PSI)
Installation
Mechanical installation
Make sure the mechanical bracket used for the X-150 is sufficient to carry the full weight of the dust
collector in rock drilling applications. Correct mounting is as close to the feed beam/ rock drill as
possible to reduce the suction hose length. The suction hose should be as straight as possible.

Hydraulic installation
Contact a hydraulic specialist to design the hydraulic circuit for your application.
The hydraulic hoses for the pressure and return line must have the capacity of 45 l/min and
200 Bar pressure without excessive counter pressure. Recommended size is minimum ؽ”
or Ø13 mm.
The drain line size is recommended to be Ø ¼” or Ø 6mm and connected directly to tank. No
backpressure is allowed. With too high back pressure in the drain line the hydraulic motor axle
gasket will be damaged and leakage will occur.
Warning
Always use proper quality of hydraulic hoses and fittings to reduce risk of leakage. Hydraulic pressure
can cause severe damages.
Caution
Hydraulic oil leakages have a negative effect on the environment.
Attach the pressure line to the port marked P and the return line to the port marked T.
On top of the motor the drain line should be fitted.
Below a generic proposal for the hydraulic installation.
The maximum speed for the fan is 4000 rpm which corresponds to appr 45 l/min hydraulic flow.
Warning
Do not install more hydraulic flow than specified. Over-speed of the fan can cause severe damages.

Air pressure installation for the filter cleaning system
Connect air supply for the filter cleansing function of the dust collector. Recommended pressure is 7
BAR or 100 PSI. To safeguard full filter cleansing effect a Ø1” or Ø25 mm hose is recommended.
Warning
Always use proper quality of pneumatic hoses and fittings to reduce risk of leakage. Pneumatic
pressure can cause severe damages.
The X- 150 cleansing system
i-clean a quantum leap when it comes to suction capacity in drilling applications.
The new filter cleansing function, i-clean, ensures
high suction efficiency, even under severe drilling
conditions. The system cleans each filter
independently and continuously during the drilling
sequence. The suction capacity remains
regardless of drill rod length and rock conditions.
The need for a pre-skimmer is reduced.
During the drilling sequence the closing
valves are open, thus letting air through the
filters creating the required suction. At certain
intervals one valve closes and a short air
pulse is introduced in the closed filter
compartment to clean the filter. After the
cleansing sequence, both valves are open
again until the next cleansing sequence
comes in action on the next filter.

Electrical installation
The electric control system controls the cleansing sequence and opens and closes the air valves in
the dust collector
Connect the control box to 24 V DC and connect the drilling signal to the system giving 24 V DC as
“Operation signal “ i.e. the dust collector should suction.
See separate drawings for the electrical installation.
The control system is programmable and during operations the cleaning times can be changed.
How to adjust the cleaning pulses and pauses between the pulses in the
control system:
To change parameters
Select menu with the “A” button. Toggle up and down on the screen with “+” or “-“ and select
parameter. Press “OK” and increase or decrease parameter with the “+” or “-“ button. Press “OK”
again to confirm the new parameter.
The new parameter is now active and stored in the memory of the X-150 Control system
Open the cover of the control system.
The display shows: Press “A” to set
parameters and “ESC” to go back
By pressing multiple on “A“you will
toggle between the menus.

By pressing once on “A” the menu for
setting the parameters / times during
the drilling operation appears.
Pause means the time between the
cleaning pulses. (see i-clean above)
Factory setting is:
Pause: 1000 x 10ms = 10 seconds
Delay means time to close one of the
air valves.
Factory setting 25 x 10 ms = 0,25
seconds
ON Means the cleaning pulses length
Factory setting 6 x 10 ms = 0,06
seconds
By pressing “A” once again you enter
the menu defining parameters when
not drilling. C1 = cleaning pulse length
for filter 1 and 3 and C2 = cleaning
pulse length for filter 2 and 4.
Factory setting for both is 1 x 100 ms
= 0,1 second.
C1-C2 = time between cleaning pulses
Factory setting is 5 x 100 ms = 0,5
seconds
By Pressing “A” once again you enter
the menu number of cleaning pulses
after stop. Factory setting is 6 x 2
totally 3 pulses per filter or 12 in total.

Suction hose installation:
The suction hose recommended for the X-150 is Ø6“or Ø150 mm
On the X-150 the suction hose is inserted in the rubber bushing, inlet reduction, and tightened on the
outside to avoid unnecessary wear on the steel inlet.
