Section 3 - Installation
Setting Up Your Unit
CAMCORP dust collectors are shipped either in one piece, fully assembled,
or in two or more sections depending on the unit size and weight. Before
attempting to move the dust collector or any of its sections review both the
certified general assembly drawing supplied from CAMCORP and the
rigging and lifting guidelines included in this manual. Become familiar with
the size and number of sections to be assembled, the orientation of inlet(s),
outlet(s), access door(s) and compressed air header(s), as well as the
number and location of lifting lugs.
Dust collectors of this type are manufactured from steel sheets or plate and
are quite flexible. Therefore, even though care has been taken to maintain
dimensional accuracy and squareness, some difficulty should be anticipated
and temporary bracing in the field may be required.
The following sequential procedure will help to minimize any assembly
difficulties:
STEP 1: Set up the supporting steel for the dust collector level and square.
Precision at this point will greatly help facilitate erection and bolt hole
alignment of the dust collector sections to follow.
STEP 2: Place the hopper with its girth channel on the supporting steel
work. Check for squareness, and for bolthole alignment between the hopper
flange and the girth channel. Apply the appropriate RTV silicone caulk
around the periphery of the hopper flange with one bead on each side of the
boltholes.
STEP 3: Lift the dirty air plenum, with the tube sheet, into place. DO NOT
LOWER THE PLENUM ONTO THE HOPPER FLANGE UNTIL
ALIGNMENT IS ACCOMPLISHED. The silicone caulk makes horizontal
movement very difficult once a load is applied. With the plenum suspended
over the hopper ½” to 1”, begin bolt hole alignment starting at the center of
the plenum and working toward the ends by using tapered drift pins. If the
wall(s) has flexed out of square it will be necessary to pry or pull it back into
alignment. Depending on the size of the unit and the degree of difficulty
hydraulic jacks and come-alongs may be required. When the mating holes
are properly aligned, finish lowering the plenum. Install the remaining bolts,
washers, and nuts and torque to the appropriate specifications.
