Crossflow Dust Collector

1.  IMPORTANT NOTICE

This manual contains important safety information and 

precautionary measures. Read this manual thoroughly 

and comply with the instructions given. 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 United Air 

Specialists, Inc. (UAS) or your local representative. 

Operating personnel should be aware of, and adhere to, 

the most stringent safety procedures.

EXPLOSION HAZARD

   

•  Avoid mixing combustible materials such as 

aluminum, paper, wood or other organic dusts with 

dusts generated from grinding metals. A fire hazard 

could develop from sparks entering the dust  

collector. 

   •  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.

   •  Do not allow any machine operator to put lit 

cigarettes or any burning object into the dust  

collector.

   •  Your dust collector was selected for a particular 

application. Consult UAS prior to making any 

application or system changes.

2.  INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting UAS 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 commitment to continually 

offer dust collection equipment engineered to each  

dust collection need and manufactured to the  

highest standards.

2.1 UNIT NOMENCLATURE

2.2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

MCB cartridge units are used for the collection of 

airborne dust and particulate. The MCB cartridge 

system provides continuous-duty air cleaning in the 

work environment or as part of your manufacturing 

process. As you review this manual, refer to Figure 1 

and 2 for assistance in locating unit parts.

2.3 AIR FILTERING OPERATION

During the air filtering operation, contaminated air 

enters the MCB dust collector through the door louvers. 

The inlet louvers allows heavier particles to fall into the 

dust storage drawer. 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 filter. The air then passes into the clean air 

plenum, through the fan enclosure and is discharged 

from the unit. Refer to Figure 1.

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 cleaning nozzles, into 

the interior of the cartridge filters. This pulsing action 

dislodges the collected particulate from the media 

where it falls into the dust storage drawer. 
Refer to Figure 1.
During the cleaning cycle, two cartridge filters 

are cleaned at a time. The solid-state sequential 

timer actuates a solenoid valve which allows an 

air diaphragm valve to open for approximately 100 

milliseconds. High pressure air from the air manifold 

reservoir is directed through the cleaning nozzles to the 

cartridge centers. The quick blast of compressed air 

induces additional air from the clean air plenum which 

combine to produce a shock wave, dislodging the dust 

from the filters being cleaned.
The dislodged dust removed from the filters falls into 

the dust storage drawers. 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.
