AW16000 - Instruction Manual
Dust Collectors are dry, reverse pulse jet cartridge collectors, used to ventilate abrasive blast cabinets and remove
dust from exhausting air.
The exhauster is mounted on the clean-air side of the filter cartridges, and provides «pull-through» (pulls air
through the reclaimer) air flow rated at 600 to 1800 cfm depending on the exhauster size. Dust and particles are
drawn through the reclaimer into the dust collector, trapping dust before discharging clean air.
Filter cartridges are cleaned by a pulse of high velocity compressed air expanding against the inner surface of
the cartridges. The expanding air momentarily reverses air flow through the cartridge, releasing dust that has
accumulated on the outer surface. The dust particles fall away from the cartridges and into the dust drawer.
The pulse interval are controlled by a sequencer located in front of the dust in the plastic electrical box. The timer
controls the «on» time (the length of time for each pulse) and «off» time (the length of time between each pulse).
The «on» time should never be adjusted. The lower the setting for the «off» time, the shorter the length of time
between pulses.
CAUTION : do not pulse new dust collectors or replacement cartridges until the cartridges are
properly seasoned. See page 13 pulsing unseasoned cartridges could cause premature cartridge
failure or decrease the efficiency of dust collector.
The differential pressure gauge shows the pressure difference between the dust side and clean side of the
cartridges. The led indicator helps determine the proper pulse pressure and timer «off» time setting. See page 11.
Position the collector in a convenient location that complies with OSHA and local safety codes. Allow access to
the differential pressure sequencer and exhaust damper. Provide ample space at the top and at the front to open
the cover to access pulsating air jet system and the cartridges.
Shorting electrical components could result in serious electrical shocks, or equipment damage. All
electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician, and comply with applicable codes.
Connect electrical power
NOTE : A schematic for ISTblast cabinets is supplied with the cabinet. After wiring completed, keep the schematics
and manuals together for future reference and electrical replacement parts. Wiring from the user’s disconnect
to the cabinet controls must be provided by the user. Conduit and wiring from the control box (or starter) to the
exhauster motor and 115 volts to the RPC Control Panel (Pulse Sequence Panel), must also be provided by the
user. If the dust Collector replaces an existing «push through» collector or dust bag, the exhauster may be wired
into the control box, to the terminal strip or starter where the conduit from the old reclaimer motor is attached.
Electrical requirements depend on the size and phase of the motor. Standard dust collectors are supplied as
follows:
16000 CFM collectors, 7.5 hp, 230/450 V, 3 Ph, 60 Hz.
WARNING : Electrical power must be locked out and tagged out before continuing.

AW16000 - Instruction Manual
Install conduit, and wire the exhauster motor per instruction on the motor plate, and the motor starter (for 3 PH
wiring), or terminal strip (for 1 PH wiring) as shown on the schematic.
Install conduit, and wire 115 volt power to the reverse pulse control panel as shown on the schematic.
After the wiring is completed, observe the subsequent warning, and check the motor rotation. To check rotation,
jog the starter (momentarily turn switch on and off). This will cause the motor to rotate slowly. Look through the
slots in the fan housing on top of the motor where rotation of the fan can easily be observed. Proper rotation is
indicated by the arrow on the exhauster housing. The fan should rotate toward the exhauster outlet
WARNING : do not look into the exhauster outlet while the paddle wheel is turning.
Injury to the eye or face could occur from objects being ejected from the exhauster.
Check the amperage on initial start up. If the motor draws excessive amperage, gradually close the damper until
the amperage is within the specifications shown on the motor plate. The damper is located on the exhauster
outlet. Ground Dust Collector
To prevent static electricity build up, attach an external grounded wire from an earth ground to the grounding
lug located on the rear wall of the dust collector.
Compressed Air Connections
NOTE: For maximum filter life and efficiency, the pulse air source should be 30% relative humidity or less, and be
free of any oil contaminants. If line air does not meet this requirement, an air dryer is recommended.
Connect a 1» or larger air hose to the pressure regulator located (Picture C, page 17) on the pulse manifold inlet.
An isolation valve should be installed at the air source to enable depressurization for service. If rigid pipe is used
for the air line, a flexible section of hose must be used at the connection, to enable the top access door to swing
open for service.
WARNING if twist-on type air hose couplings are used, they must be secured by safety pins or wires to prevent
accidental disconnection while under pressure. Hose disconnection while under pressure could cause serious
injury.
WARNING all persons operating this equipment must be made aware of the hazards
of abrasive blasting. Prolonged exposure to any dust could result in serious lung
disease and death. Short term ingestion of toxic materials, such as lead dust or dust
from other heavy metals and corrosives, could cause serious respiratory injury or
death. Identify all materials that are to be removed by blasting, and obtain a Materials
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the blast media. If lead coating or other toxic materials
are being removed by the blasting process, HEPA after-filters must be used for those
applications.

protection when emptying the dust drawer. Failure to do so could result in respiratory disease or
serious respiratory and eye irritation. Toxicity and health risk vary with type of media, and dust
generated by blasting. Identify all material that is being removed by blasting, and obtain a Materials
Safety Data Sheet for the blast media.
Weekly
With the exhauster turned off, check the in-line dust filter dust accumulation. Check the exhaust air during a pulse
cycle. If dust is emitting from the exhauster, cartridges are leaking or damaged. Check immediately
With the exhauster turned off, empty the dust barrel. Heavily contaminated parts or friable media may require the
drawer be emptied more often. Never allow the drawer to become more than a quarter full.
WARNING All maintenance must be done with the electrical power locked-out and tagged-out, and
the compressed air supply line bled, locked-out and tagged-out. Failure to do so could result in death
or serious injury from electrical shock, unintentional actuation of a component, or from the venting of
trapped compressed air.
WARNING : Failure to wear properly tted and maintained, CSA, OSHA or NIOSH
approved respirator and eye protection when servicing dust laden areas of the dust
collector could result in serious eye irritation and lung disease or death. Toxicity and
health risk vary with type of media, and dust generated by blasting. Identify all material
that is being removed by blasting, and obtain a Materials Safety Data Sheet for the blast
media.

New cartridges must be seasoned. Cartridges are seasoned by letting a dust layer develop on the outside surface
of the filter media. The dust layer protects the filter cartridge, and enhances the filtering efficiency.
Cleaning will be done automatically. When differential static pressure indicator (parameter section high alarm,
page 11) indicates high-pressure alarm, the high alarm signal will blink. Cartridges need to be replaced at that time
WARNING : shut down the collector immediately if dust is emitting from the exhauster.
Check that cartridges are correctly seated and not worn or damaged. Prolonged breathing of
abrasive dust and blasting by-product dust could result in serious lung disease or death. Short
term ingestion of toxic dust such as red lead, poses an immediate danger to health. Identify all
materials that are to be removed by blasting, and obtain a Materials Safety Data Sheet for the
blast media.
