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.
