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
through AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association) website.
To minimize the risk of fire or explosion, user must ensure proper installation, operation and maintenance of Parker
equipment. Since application, installation, operation and maintenance are beyond the control of Parker, Parker disclaims
any liability or responsibility for damage from fires or explosions regardless of origin. Parker recommends that all APC
dust collection equipment, installation and application conform to any and all applicable local, state and federal
standards, codes, laws and regulations including the addition of appropriate fire or explosion protection systems
including but not limited to venting, mitigation, suppression and isolation when and where required. Installation of
Parker equipment should be by a licensed contractor that is also experienced in potential fire and explosion hazards
and adheres to related local, state and federal codes, standards, laws and regulations. Parker is not an expert nor
certified design consultant in relation to spark, fire or explosion mitigation including but not limited to detection,
mitigation, suppression and isolation pf combustible dusts and materials. Therefore, Parker recommends that any
industrial air filtration system recommendation, design or solution be reviewed, approved, stamped and signed by
an industry expert consultant in air filtration systems, combustible dust/materials or certified safety expert such as a
Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) or a Certified Professional Engineer (PE) who is a licensed and certified expert with
industrial filtration system design and application including adherence and compliance to any and all applicable local,
state and federal codes, standards, laws and regulations.
If requested and ordered by the Buyer or owner/user and approved by Parker IOU engineering, sprinkler connection
couplers may be supplied and factory installed with certain DustHog dust collector models such as the MCB, SDC, and
SFC. The buyer or owner/user is responsible to supply, install and test the sprinkler head and any related or required fire
control system devices, components or accessories. It is the responsibility of the buyer or owner/user to test functionality
and operation of the fire control system including but not limited to correct water pressure, water leakage, correct

1. Important Notice
This manual contains important safety information and pre-
cautionary measures. It is impossible to list all potential hazards
associated with every dust collection system in each application.
Proper use of the equipment should be discussed with Parker
Hannifin. Operating personnel should be aware of, and adhere
to, the most stringent safety procedures.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Avoid mixing combustible materials such as alumi-
num, 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 poten-
tial fire hazards. System design should include
methods to prevent sparks from entering the dust
collector. Dust collectors do not contain fire extin-
guishing equipment unless specifically ordered.
Experts in the field of fire extinguishing equipment
should be consulted for recommendations concern-
ing proper fire detection and suppression systems.
• Some dust collection systems require explo-
sion venting. Consult your insurance underwriter,
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) man-
ual 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 recom-
mendations 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.
• All explosion vent installations should be located to
allow full-unrestricted discharge when system pres-
sure exceeds the set pressure of the explosion vent.
An explosion vent should never be located where
the discharge from the vent will impact people or
plant equipment.
• Do not use the explosion vent as temporary work
surface for hand tools; i.e., wrenches, screw drivers,
etc. Such actions can cause premature failure to
occur via over stressing the explosion vent.
• All dust collectors handling hazardous or fire/
explosion risk dust, as determined by the user, are
recommended to be located outside the building in
non-traffic areas even though the dust collector is
equipped with an explosion vent.
2. Introduction
Thank you for selecting Parker dust collection equipment to assist
you in your commitment to a clean and safe environment. We trust
that in purchasing our product, you have recognized our com-
mitment to continually offer air cleaning equipment engineered to
each dust collection need and manufactured to the highest stan-
dards. If at any time you have a question about dust collection,
please do not hesitate to call your local Parker representative.
The SFC is designed to collect process generated dusts.
The optimized pulse cleaning system coupled with the QuickSeal
filter access doors provide the most dependable and mainte-
nance friendly cartridge collector in the market.
The SFC dust collector should not be used for any purpose not
listed in this manual.
As you review this manual, refer to Figure 1 for assistance in iden-
tifying dust collector parts. The SFC Specification Table in Section
3 provides additional unit information.

2.2 Description and Operation
The SFC is a high-efficiency cartridge dust collector designed to
eliminate airborne dust as it is generated. Contaminants are cap-
tured at the source(s), then conveyed through ducting to the car-
tridge filter section (dirty air section) where the dust is collected.
Clean air is then discharged from the unit through the clean air
discharge.
The dust collector is designed for on-line or downtime cartridge
filter cleaning by means of a customer-supplied compressed air
system.
The SFC is a high-efficiency, horizontally-oriented cartridge dust
collector equipped with 9.48” I.D. and 13.87” O.D. cartridge
filters. The larger diameter ProTura
®
Nanofiber cartridge filter
design allows for lower pressure losses through the dust col-
lector while increasing the amount of media contained in each
filter. SFC Series dust collectors have pre-engineered backward-
inclined or radial-type optional blower packages in 2, 3, 5, 7-1/2,
10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 hp (1.5, 2.2, 3.7, 5.5, 7.5, 11, 15, 18.8,
22.6 kW) assemblies.
There are two primary modes of operation — the air filtering
operation and filter cleaning cycle. Both modes of operation are
shown in Figure 1.
!DANGER

2
2.3 Air Filtering Operation
The contaminated airstream is drawn into the dust collector
where its velocity is reduced by inlet baffle plates to provide even
air distribution across the entire surface area of the cartridge
filters. This design enhances filtration efficiency by establishing a
uniform “dust cake” on the filters. The airstream is then directed
around the cartridge filters and down toward the hopper, where
the heavier particles discharge to the dust storage drum.
The contaminated air then passes through the cartridge filters.
The filter media strips the dust from the airstream, allowing only
clean air to pass through the cartridge filter. The air then passes
into the clean air plenum, through a blower package and is dis-
charged from the unit.
2.4 Filter Cleaning Cycle
During normal operation, the surface of the cartridge filters
become loaded with contaminants. The reverse-pulse cleaning
mechanism provides brief bursts of compressed air, directed
through the diaphragm valves, toward the cartridge filter. This
pulsing action dislodges the collected particles from the media,
where they fall into the hopper and are discharged to a dust stor-
age drum or drawer.
During the cleaning cycle, each pair of cartridge filters is cleaned
individually. The solid-state sequential timer actuates a solenoid
valve, which allows an air diaphragm valve to open for approxi-
mately 100 milliseconds. High-pressure air from the air manifold
reservoir is directed through the diaphragm valve toward the
venturi mounted on the tubesheet in front of the cartridge filters.
The venturi, in conjunction with the DIF nozzle, maximizes the
compressed air energy to maximize the amount of collected dust
released from the filter surface.
The dislodged dust removed from the filter is swept downward
into the hopper. The remaining filters are cleaned sequentially.
The sequencing is factory preset at 10-second intervals and is
adjustable to adapt to your particular cleaning needs.

TIP OVER HAZARD
The SFC dust collector should be mounted on a solid,
level, reinforced concrete foundation. Other mounting
options are also possible. Structural calculations for
the foundation or other mounting arrangements
must include the weight of the collected material
and the weight of all auxiliary equipment installed
with the dust collector (ducting, abrasive inlet,
blower package, afterfilter assembly, etc.). These
weights must be considered together with wind
loading, seismic loading and other live load ratings
when designing the dust collector foundation sup-
port structure. Consult a professional engineer when
designing the foundation for the unit.
The system should be designed with the ability to regulate airflow.
Two common ways to do this are through the use of flow/volume
control dampers or variable frequency drives to control the speed
of the fan motor. Parker offers both of these options. If flow con-
trol dampers are selected, the interconnecting duct work should
be designed to account for the installation of said damper. These
dampers can be installed on the inlet or outlet ducting of the SFC
unit. Whether you control the flow through the use of a damper
or VFD, the ductwork must be properly sized to meet the recom-
mended air velocities for the material being collected.
Follow ducting design methods as listed in the Industrial Ventilation
Manual as recommended by the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
3.3 Assembly Of Standard Equation
CRUSH AND ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Use adequate safety measures when lifting and
assembling any heavy components. Consult your
plant safety personnel for recommendations.
In preparing to attach the filter module to the hopper,
connect lifting slings and spreader bars to all filter
module lifting lugs with clevis pins. Use spreader
bars to distribute the load evenly. Location must
be clear of all obstructions, such as utility lines or roof
overhangs.
Remove all crating, strapping and hold-down bolts. Locate all
hardware bags, sealant and other assembly materials provided
with your unit.
3. Installation
3.1 Off Loading and Inspection
SFC dust collector modules are shipped assembled (with car-
tridges installed) on skid(s). Other skids will contain the hopper/
leg assembly and other components. Other accessories (afterfilter
assemblies, blower packages, dust storage drums, silencers,
etc.) may be on additional, separate skids.
TIP OVER HAZARD
Lift the dust collector components by the packing skids
or use the external lifting lugs provided on the filter
module. Do not lift the filter module of the dust collec-
tor by placing lift truck forks through the cartridge filter
access doors. The filter support rails or venturi installed
on the tubesheet could be damaged.
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 may have caused pos-
sible internal damage. Notify your delivery carrier and enter a claim
if any damage is found.
3.2 Installation Planning
The proper location of your dust collection equipment is very
important. Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for typical installation details.
Certain items should be considered when locating the unit, such
as emptying of the dust storage drum(s), filter removal require-
ments, compressed air connections, access to the clean air
plenum, electrical connections, blower location and discharge
direction. The shortest duct length with a minimum number of
elbows will maximize the performance of the unit. Ease of main-
tenance should also be considered when selecting the location
and orientation of the system. Refer to Figure 3 for recommended
clearances.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
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 warnings and
cautions are provided on page iii and in Section 1.

Repeat this process until all the module sections are in place,
securely fastened and anchored to the foundation. Recheck all
hardware connections to make certain they are securely tight-
ened. Remove lift slings and spreader bars and clear all tools
from the work area.
NOTE: Make certain all bolts (including the anchor bolts) are
properly tightened before proceeding with the remain-
der of the installation.
Install all cartridge filters removed at the beginning of the instal-
lation process and install the filter access doors (refer to Section
5.1).
3.4 Electrical Installation
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
All electrical work should be performed by a qual-
ified electrician in accordance with local electrical
codes. Disconnect electrical power before install-
ing or servicing any electrical component.
General
Several types of standard electrical components can be
installed to control and monitor your dust collector. A VFD or
a motor starter circuit (combination starter panel) is required to
safely start and stop the system. A properly sized circuit breaker
or fused disconnect is also required to safely work on and
service the electrical system. In addition, a 115/1/60 (2 amp)
control circuit is required for the pulse control panel. Some or
all of the above items may be included in the controls package
you purchased from Parker. Any one of the following control
combinations can be used:
• Motor starter with Digital Pulse Monitor (DPM) for continuous
pulse cleaning.
• Motor starter with Digital Pulse Control (DPC) for on-demand
pulse cleaning.
• VFD with DPM for continuous pulse cleaning.
• VFD with DPC for on-demand pulse cleaning.
Refer to Parker sales order to verify the control configuration
purchased with your unit and whether additional items are
required to control and operate your system.
3.4.1 Mounting The Controls
Mount the VFD or combination starter panel for the fan motor
in a convenient location. It is recommended that these controls
be mounted on a wall or pedestal in an area subject to minimal
vibration and electrical noise. Mounting hardware is provided by
the customer or the contractor. If the panel includes the DPM or
the DPC gauge and Parker timer control board, then the location
of the panel must within close proximity of the dust collection
unit as shown in Figure 8. For additional setup and installation
information refer to the VFD and/or DPM/DPC Owner’s Manuals
provided.
Avoid mounting the panel on the collector due to
vibration generated from blower assembly and the
pulsing system.
For all pulse control panels, connect the black plastic pressure
tubing (25’ [7.5 meters] provided by Parker) to the panel fittings
and the SFC unit. Connect the dirty air plenum of the SFC to
the high pressure port (dirty air) on the panel as shown in Figure
8. Connect the clean air plenum of the SFC to the low pressure
port (clean air) on the panel.
3.4.2 Solenoid Valve Enclosure Wiring
The solenoid valves at the dust collector must be wired cor-
rectly to the pulse control panel. Refer to Figure 9 when making
connections from the pulse control panel to the solenoid valve
enclosure(s).
Example: Figure 9 shows the SFC having ten valve locations
per module. This means when the system pulses, “1” is the first
pulse in the sequence, “2” is the second, “3” is the third, etc.
When multiple dust collector modules are installed,
daisy chain the wiring so that each solenoid valve with the
same module location will pulse at the same time. This means
all #1 solenoid valves are connected together and wired to
pulse control panel “OUT 1,” #2 solenoid valves are connected
together and wired to pulse control panel “OUT 2,” etc. Refer
to Figure 9 for the SFC dust collector solenoid valve wiring
information. When cleaning, the pulse valves sequence left to
right, top to bottom.
Unless specified on the Parkerr sales order, the customer will
supply interconnecting material (conduit, wiring, etc.) from the
pulse control panel to the SFC.
