SECTION 8 - ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

8.1 Assembling and installing the structure

• Safe and efficient operation of the Typhoon Central Dust Collector depends on proper installation. 

• Diversitech recommends that the ductwork going into the collector be as straight as possible, with at least 5 diameters of straight run 

recommended.

• Authorities with jurisdiction should be consulted before installing the Typhoon Central Dust Collector to ensure local installation laws, codes, 

regulations and procedures are followed.

• A qualified installation and service agent must complete installation and service of the dust collector and equipment.

• Ensure all covers from shipping and loose materials are removed from the collector before installation. Failure to do so can result in failure of 

the dust collector.

• Ensure the hardware on the dust collector assemblies are properly installed and tight before installation.

Shipping Arrangements

The equipment delivered to the site will arrive in one of a number of various arrangements depending on the size and style of the product supplied 
and the customer’s particular needs and requirements. Review the product documentation supplied, especially the sales drawing, for details.
The Typhoon Central Dust Collector may be shipped disassembled in major subassemblies as follows:

• Hopper/Base section 

• Baffle/Middle section

• Clean air/Top section 

• Blower and Motor assembly

8.2 Foundation Installation and Levelling

Prepare the foundation by drilling anchor bolt holes according to the supplied dimensional drawings.

Install the Typhoon Central Dust Collector base onto the prepared foundation using appropriately selected anchor bolts. Hoist according to 

section 5

.

Adjust the base until the equipment is

completely level in all directions. This operation is critical; the Typhoon Central Dust Collector will not 

operate properly if not level. 

There are two recommended methods

for achieving this:

• Place a spirit level on the leveling strips welded on two or more sides of the hopper. The Typhoon Central Dust Collector must be accurately 

levelled in both orthogonal directions (along axes 90 degrees apart).

• Fill the Typhoon Central Dust Collector with water until the level reaches the entering edge of the impeller (Figure 1). On Typhoon Central 

Dust Collector with double impellers (sizes 8 and above) this will apply to both impellers simultaneously. The entering edge of each impeller 
must be level with the water along its entire length with a maximum allowable variation of plus or minus 1/8 of an inch. On Tzyphoon Central 
Dust Collector with single impellers (sizes 6 and below), the Typhoon Central Dust Collector will still need to be leveled in the other direction.

When the Typhoon Central Dust Collector has been properly levelled, fix the equipment in position using shims and anchor bolts and then grout 
beneath the structural support elements to ensure that the equipment is fully supported.
