VIII. Centrifugal
Separator
To assure efficient operation the separator must be sealed
properly to prevent leakage. The access doors, dirt can, dis-
charge valve, intake and outlet should be checked as the most
common places for leakage.
The separator should not be allowed to become so full that the
accumulated litter interferes with its efficiency. The separator
should be emptied at regular intervals.
Note: After each cleaning period the wire screen over the baffle
inside the separator should be brushed to remove accumulated
litter. The screen can be reached through the hand hole at the
front of the separator. Failure to clean screen will diminish suction.
Caution: Be sure to shut down the system before attempting
to clean.
The dirt can type separator is cleaned by removing and dumping
the dirt can. Be sure the dirt can is properly seated when it is
replaced.
The hopper bottom separator is cleaned by opening the discharge
valve in the cone of the separator and allowing the material to
drop into a container or discharge line.
IX. Tubular Bag
Separator
To assure efficient operation the separator must be sealed
properly to prevent leakage. The access doors, dirt can, dis-
charge valve, intake and outlet should be checked as the most
common places for leakage.
After each cleaning period the bags should be thoroughly shaken.
Bags should also be checked for wear periodically and replaced
if needed. See bag installation instructions.
The dirt can type separator is cleaned by removing and dumping
the dirt can. Be sure the dirt can is properly seated when it is
replaced.
The hopper bottom separator is cleaned by opening the dis-
charge valve in the cone of the separator and allowing the
material to drop into a container or discharge line.
Caution: Be sure to shut down the system before shaking
bags or attempting to clean.
Motorized Bag Shaker
Caution:
The motorized bag shaker gearbox has been shipped with
gearbox lubricant. The gearbox must be serviced prior to
