In order to ensure that the system continues to operate correctly,
the following should be checked at periodic intervals depending
on what kind of contaminations that are separated and the
amount of use. Defective and worn parts should be replaced
immediately.
IMPORTANT!
Empty the dust collector when it is approximately
70 % full. If the dust is in a way that a self ignition risk
is possible the collector must be emptied more often.
Don’t let the collector overfill. It can cause poor filter
performance and cause an extensive clean up work due
to overflow of dust when removing the collector.
Normal EX-proofed working light is required for emtying
the collector.
Inspect how much the collector has been filled in the
beginning of the filtering process, to make it possible to
estimate a normal emptying interval.
WARNING!
Risk of personal injury!
Use protective goggles, breathing
mask and gloves when doing servi-
cing and repairing work inside the
system, specially when exchanging
the filter cartridges and emptying the
dust collector.
Before doing any service work,
clean the working place and every
surrounding area.
Avoid contact or exposure to dust as
much as possible during servicing or
maintenance.
Shut-off and bleed compressed air
supply before opening the inspection
door and servicing any compressed
air components.
Disconnect electrical power before
servicing.
The Control Box or Pilot Box must
not be opened or be disconnected
from cables if there is explosive dust
in the atmosphere or dust cover on
the boxes. In that case the boxes
must be cleaned.
If the Minimum Ignition Energy, MIE,
of the dust is less than 20 mJ, the
service personal must use shoes and
other clothes specially designed to be
used in explosion hazardous areas.
Tools used for service works on Filter-
Max DX then also must be approved
for explosion hazardous areas.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
25
1.
Switch off the FilterMax DX.
2.
Put a pallet, which can be operated by a lift truck, under
the dust collector.
3.
Loosen the dust collector by realising the excentric locks.
Let the collector down to the pallet.
4.
Empty the dust collector in a, for this purpose, designed
container. Disposal of dust should be in accordance with local
regulations. Before the collector is emptied, its pair of earth
tongs must be fastened on an earth point on the container.
5.
Check that the gasket between FilterMax DX and the dust
collector not is damaged.
6.
Put the dust collector back under FilterMax DX and fit it with
the excentric locks, Check that the gasket between FilterMax DX
and the collector is correctly fitted and seals after locking. Make
sure that the collector is earthed in a way that makes metalic
contact through the excentric locks. Also make sure that the
excentric locks not are damaged or bent. Fasten the pair of
earth tongs on one of the dust collector fixing bolts.
Filter regulator collector
CHECK WHEN EMPTYING THE DUST CONTAINER
Check if there is water (or oil) in the filter regulator collector.
In that case, the compressed air is not dry enough and there is a
risk to damage the filter cartridges. Check that the pressure is set to
0.4 - 0.6 MPa (6 bar, 87 psi). If there is water in the container, check
that there is no water in the pressure tank (tanks), by opening the
drain nipple on the right bottom side of the tank.
