COMBUSTIBLE DUST HAZARDS –
SMOG-HOG®and DUST-HOG®Pollution Control Systems
Pursuant to National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Standards, the owner/user is required to test their dust mixtures
to evaluate and understand potential combustion or deflagration hazards that may exist. In addition, NFPA standards
require the owner/user to perform and have record of a Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA) if there is potentially a combustible
material involved within or exposed to the process.
The DHA serves as a systematic review of the process to:
1) Identify where fires and explosions can occur;
2) Identify the potential causes and consequences, and;
3) Determine if existing and proposed safeguards are sufficient.
It is the responsibility of the owner/user to evaluate, interpret and document any associated risk in their process
including adherence and compliance to any and all applicable local, state and federal codes, standards, laws and
regulations.
It is the sole responsibility of the equipment owner/user of record to coordinate and perform sample material collection
and combustion/explosivity testing of any and all dust and material that will be extracted and filtered by the Air Pollution
Control (APC) filtration equipment and to notify Parker of the results prior to any discussion involving equipment
specification and solution recommendation. It is recommended to utilize a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) or certified
safety expert that is properly trained, licensed and approved and to use a licensed and approved dust testing facility
for proper dust and material analysis, testing protocol and reporting procedures. A sample of testing facilities and list of
Industrial Hygiene (CIH) and other occupational and environmental health and safety (OEHS) consultants can be located

1. Important Notice
This manual contains important safety information and precautionary measures. It is impossible to list all
potential hazards associated with weld fume collection systems across unique applications. Proper use of
the equipment should be discussed with Parker Hannifin, Inc. (Parker) or your local Parker representative.
Operating personnel should be aware of, and adhere to, the most stringent safety procedures.
2. Introduction
Thank you for selecting Parker fume extraction equipment to assist you in your commitment to a clean
and safe working environment. We trust that in purchasing this Parker product you have recognized our
commitment to providing air cleaning solutions engineered for each pollution control need which are
manufactured to the highest quality standards. If at any time you have questions about the application or
operation of your equipment, please do not hesitate to call your local Parker representative, or visit our
website at www.parker.com/igfg for more information.
The SDC is designed to collect process generated dusts. The optimized shaker cleaning system, coupled
with the engineering features of this product, create the most dependable and maintenance-friendly shaker
dust collector on the market.
2.1 Description and Operation
The SDC unit is a high-efficiency, bag dust collector designed to collect dust generated from
intermittent duty processes. Contaminants are captured at the source(s), then conveyed through
ducting to the hopper inlet of the unit. A baffle located inside the hopper knocks down any large
particulate into the dust collection drum and distributes the remaining dust evenly throughout the bag
filter section (dirty air section) where the dust is filtered. Clean air is then discharged from the unit
through the clean air discharge located on the top of the cabinet.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Avoid mixing combustible materials such as aluminum, paper, wood, or other organic dusts
with dusts generated from grinding materials. A fire hazard could develop from sparks entering
the dust collector. When collecting flammable or explosive materials, the dust collector should
be located outdoors and incorporate the appropriate safety measures and/or accessories.
• When collecting emissions from spark-producing processes, care must be taken to reduce
any potential fire hazards. System design should include methods to prevent sparks from
entering the dust collector. Dust collectors do not contain fire extinguishing equipment unless
specifically ordered. Experts in the field of fire extinguishing equipment should be consulted for
recommendations concerning proper fire detection and suppression systems.
• Some dust collection systems require explosion venting. Consult your insurance underwriter,
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) manual and your local fire authorities to determine
the requirements for explosion venting.
• Be careful and conscientious – consult national and local fire codes, waste disposal, safety and
other appropriate authorities. Comply with their recommendations for the proper installation and
operation of dust collection equipment.
• Your dust collector was selected for a particular application. Consult Parker prior to making any
application or system changes.

3. Installation
The SDC dust collection system ships standard in two individual assemblies: the filter module and
hopper assembly. Additional accessories or options (silencers, storage drums, afterfilter assemblies,
control panel assemblies, etc.) may be packaged separately.
TIP OVER HAZARD
Lift the dust collector components by the packing skids or the lifting locations provided on the
filter module. Do not lift the filter module of the dust collector by placing lift truck forks through
the filter access door(s). This is unsafe and could result in significant damage to the dust collector.
Upon receipt of your unit, check for any shipping damage. A damaged carton indicates that the
equipment may have received rough handling during shipping that could have caused internal damage
to the dust collector. Notify your delivery carrier and enter a claim if any damage is found.
3.1 Installation Planning
The proper location of your dust collection equipment is very important. Refer to Figure 2 on page 4
for typical installation details.
Certain items should be considered when locating the unit, such as emptying of the dust storage
drum(s), filter removal requirements, access to the clean air plenum, the shaker mechanism, electrical
connections, and air inlet and discharge location. The shortest duct length with a minimum number
of elbows and losses will maximize the performance of the unit. Ease of maintenance should also be
considered when selecting the location and orientation of the system.
In the case of spark-producing processes, system design should incorporate measures to prevent live
sparks from entering the dust collector. Consult local authorities for the location of the unit and any
additional precautions to consider when collecting combustible, explosive or hazardous dusts.
General warning and cautions are provided on page ii and in Section 1.
2.2 Cleaning Sequence
The SDC applies a high frequency, low amplitude shaking mechanism to the filter bags to dislodge the
collected dust. The dislodged dust falls from the filter, through the hopper and into the collection drum.
Cleaning sequences are initiated each time the dust collector blower is powered down and begins with a
70-second delay to minimize airflow through the filters.
The shaking system contains moving parts. Do not open the filter access door during cleaning.

adequately protect the equipment. Refer back to the nameplate on the SDC unit or control enclosure
to verify the control configuration purchased with your unit for proper sizing. Refer to Figures 8-11
(pg 10-14).
3.3.1 Mounting of the Controls
The control enclosure require access at the beginning and end of every shift of operation.
Location should be in a convenient, accessible area. The Parker control enclosure contains
the motor starters for both the blower and shaker motors.
It is recommended that the controls be mounted on a wall or pedestal subject to minimal vibration and
electrical noise. It is also suggested that the unit be located in a convenient location with the controls
as to allow the customer easier access to wire to the unit blower and shaker motors.
3.2.4 Filter Module Assembly
Prior to mounting the filter module to the hopper assembly, apply two ribbons of sealant to the hopper
flange to create a figure “8” pattern around the mounting holes. This technique is shown in Figure 4
-Detail A (pg. 6).
Place the filter module onto the hopper assembly (as shown in Figure 4). Drift pins may be required for
aligning holes between the two assemblies.
With the filter module still supported, use hardware (refer to Figure 4) to bolt the hopper and filter
module together. Securely tighten all hardware at the filter module and hopper. Check leg assembly
sway braces (if applicable) to ensure they are tight.
Disconnect lifting slings and spreader bars used for installation.
3.4 Optional Equipment Assembly
3.4.1 Magnelic®Gage
Magnehlic®gage is used to monitor the pressure drop across the filter in your SDC unit. This helps you
to monitor the performance of your equipment and alerts you to when the filter requires replacement.
The SDC unit cabinet comes with two pre-drilled holes located on the left side of the cabinet for the
pressure taps and (4) dimples to locate and install the Magnehelic®gage. The holes are plugged when
unit is shipped. Remove the snap in plugs using a flat head screw-driver and install the (2) pressure taps
in the SDC panels. To tighten the pressure taps, access to the inside part of the cabinet is required.
Removal of the filter cassette will be necessary to complete this installation. Drill out the (4) locating
dimples (closest to the door side) to allow clearance for 1/4” supplied hardware (5/16 drill bit is
recommended). Access the inside of the cabinet to tighten down the bracket hardware.
Install the gage into the bracket using the supplied hardware.
After the pressure taps are installed, run 1/4” tubing from the SDC cabinet to the Magnehelic®gage
and connect to the dirty air side of the cabinet to the pressure port marked “High” and the clean air side
to the pressure port marked “Low”. Take care not to kink the tubing during installation.

IMPORTANT
It is recommended that you document the static pressure in critical locations throughout your process
when the filters are clean and your system is running as intended. This will aid in troubleshooting your
installation and allow you to accurately predict when it is time to change your filters.
Initially, some dust may discharge from the unit and may last for several minutes. As the filters season
and begin to build up a dust cake, the discharge should remain visibly clear.
If you are operating the unit in short intervals, it may be necessary to leave the cleaning button in the off
position during the first several intervals until a sufficient dust cake is obtained.
4.2 Shutdown and Afterfilter Cleaning
Press the “Stop Fan & Clean” button on the control panel with the selector switch in the “Clean”
position. This will place the SDC off line and initiate a cleaning sequence. The unit will pause for
approximately 70 seconds to allow the blower to coast down to a speed where it is no longer
pulling a significant amount of air through the cabinet.
At the end of the 70 seconds, the shaker motor will be on line. The bags will be shaken at a high
frequency, low amplitude vibration for 35 seconds, and will dislodge collected dust from the bags.
The dust will then gravitate to the hopper and collect in the drum below the unit.
If required, this sequence can be repeated by pressing the “Stop Fan & Clean” button again.
This will initiate a cleaning sequence after a 70-second delay.
4.1 Start-Up Checklist
1. Inspect the installation area and make certain that no tools, parts, etc., have been left anywhere on or
inside the SDC unit. Check discharge area(s) on unit to make sure they are free from obstructions.
2. Check that all accessories are properly and securely installed, including the hopper assembly and drum.
Ensure that there are no air leaks in the ducting or hopper connections.
3. Turn power on at the source (fused disconnect).
4. Make sure the selector switch titled “Clean” is in the off position, pressing the “Start Fan” button and
then the “Stop Fan & Clean” button.
5. The blower should be checked for proper rotation. The wheel should be rotating clockwise when
looking at the drive side or top of the motor. If the blower is rotating in the opposite direction,
disconnect the power to the unit and interchange any two wires from the blower motor within the SDC
junction box. Refer to Figure 10 (opposite page).
NOTE: Proper blower rotation is required to move the designed amount of airflow. A blower rotating in the
incorrect direction will only move approximately 40% of design airflow.
6. The shaker motor should also be checked for proper rotation with the correct direction being clockwise
from the drive side or top of the motor. If the motor is rotating the wrong direction, some threaded
fittings may have a tendency to loosen during normal operation. Disconnect power to the unit and
interchange any two wires from the shaker motor within the SDC junction box. Refer to Figure 8
(pg. 10).
7. You are now ready to begin using the unit for production. Press the
“ Start Fan” button on the control
panel and turn the “Clean” button to the on position.

5. Service
Before servicing dust collector:
• Wear appropriate protective clothing.
• Disconnect electrical power to the unit and control panel.
• Collected dust may be hazardous. Consult proper authorities for handling and disposal.
• Collected dust may be a potential fire hazard. Welding, grinding or operations involving open
flames should not be performed without fire protection measures in place. Refer to Section
1 of this manual for additional safety precautions.
• Disposal of collected dust must be according to federal, state and local regulations and all
appropriate authorities.
5.1 Filter Removal and Replacement
To remove the SDC filter assembly(s), first open the filter access door. The filter is held in place by a
cambar mechanism located on each side of the filter cassette. This mechanism is illustrated in Figure 11.
When in the locked or sealed position, the cambar handles will be in a horizontal position towards the
center of the filter assembly. To unlock the filter, each cambar handle must be rotated down 90 degrees
The filter will become loose and drop into a position from which it can be removed from out of the unit.
Filters can weigh in excess of 125 lbs. Please use extreme caution when removing from cabinet.
Slide the cassette from the cabinet, as shown in Figure 12 (pg 17). This will require two people (or a
fork truck), due to the weight of the filter and the collected dust. When the cassette is removed from
the cabinet, inspect the gasket on the underside of the tubesheet for damage. If there are cracks or tears it is
recommended that the gasket should be replaced. Refer to Section 7 for replacement parts.
To replace the filter, remove the inserts from each pocket as shown in Figure 12. When this is complete,
release the snap band that secures the filter to the cassette and then lift the filter up through the support
rods and free of the cassette.
Reverse the above directions to install the new filter. Take care to make sure the filter fabric seats
properly in the filter frame. As the filter cassette is slid into the cabinet, thread each pocket through the
shaker mechanism teeth. Make sure the wear strips, located on the bottom-center of each pocket, are
in contact with the shaker fingers.
