3-11 Installing the Filter Chamber Shroud
The cloth filter shroud is mounted to a ring on the underside of the
filter chamber stand. It reduces housekeeping duties around the
filter chamber by preventing dust from becoming airborne when
the dust and fines are discharged from the VFC filter chamber. The
dust container below the shroud is customer-supplied—the
standard 24” (61 cm) clearance stand is designed for use with a 5-
gallon (19-liter) pail, and the optional 38” (96 cm) clearance stand
is designed for use with a 55-gallon (208-liter) drum.
1. Insert the filter shroud support wire into the slotted hole in
the middle of the cloth filter shroud. Use supplied hardware
to secure.
2. Slip the filter shroud over the retaining ring located on the
bottom side of the filter stand mounting plate. Secure it
with the worm clamp provided.
3. Place the dust container you’ve supplied below the filter
chamber stand and insert the filter shroud.
4. On standard 5-gallon (19-liter) pails, the filter shroud
should be trimmed and fastened to the top lip of the can
with a band clamp. Don’t trim the filter shroud on 55-
gallon (208-liter) drums. Secure the drawstring on the
shroud around the drum, making sure the open end of the
shroud hangs freely inside the drum.
5. Make sure the operation of the counterweighted flapper
dump valve is not obstructed in any way by the filter
shroud.
!
CAUTION
Do not obstruct the filter shroud in any way.
Empty the dust container before the dust level
obstructs the end of the filter shroud.
Failure to observe these directives may
result in reduced filtering efficiency and
contaminants entering the conveying system.
