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.
