Section 2 - Receiving Receiving the Equipment Prior to accepting the shipment(s) care must be taken to inspect all equipment received both for proper count and for damage. Any and all irregularities must be noted on the carrier’s copy of the shipping receipt to assist in settling any claims for damage or shortages. All equipment is shipped FOB point of origin whether on a prepaid or collect freight basis. ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT OR SHORTAGES MUST BE BROUGHT AGAINST THE CARRIER BY THE PURCHASER.
Storage Recommendations Baghouse, Bin Vent, Filter Receiver, Dirty Air Hopper and Housing • • • • Housing can be stored outside. Equipment must be blocked up to keep the flanges out of the dirt. Most units are supplied with a plain unfinished interior. If storage of more than two weeks is anticipated the interior should be prime coated before storage.
Storage Recommendations (continued) Accessory Parts • • This includes all gauges, cartridge clamps, nylon or copper tubing, valves, gaskets and other parts not specifically called out. These items should be stored inside a cool dry place protected from moisture, insects, and rodents. Fan and Fan Accessories • • • Fans can be stored outside on a pallet or skid to keep them out of water and dirt. Fan silencers, outlet dampers, and inlet boxes should also be tarped and stored on a pallet or skid.
Storage Recommendations (continued) Isolation Dampers • • All limit switches, solenoids, and air cylinder ports must be capped and taped to prevent any moisture or dirt from entering. Equipment can sit outside provided it is covered with a tarp and is on a pallet or skid to keep it out of water and dirt. Rotary Valve • • • Rotor and interior of valve should be well oiled with vegetable oil to prevent rust and to maintain compatibility with product.
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.
Setting Up Your Unit (continued) Step 4: Check the top of the dirty air plenum for squareness and bolthole alignment between the dirty air plenum and the tube sheet. Make sure that the silicone caulk has been applied between the top flange of the dirty air plenum and the underside of the tube sheet flange. Next, apply the caulk around the periphery of the topside of the tube sheet flange one bead to each side of the boltholes.
Setting Up Your Unit (continued) Attach tag lines at several locations to help in controlling the unit when lifted and to prevent spinning or swinging. The dust collector should be lifted and lowered at a slow, uniform rate and not allowed to bounce or joggle since this can cause excessive impact stresses at the lift points.
Setting Up Your Unit (continued) The firing sequence of the diaphragm valves on the dust collector should be set so that no two adjacent rows of cartridges fire in succession to insure maximum cleaning and life of the filter media. This can only be achieved when wiring the pulse timer board to the solenoid valves. If you are experiencing a high-pressure drop across the filter bags in your dust collector the pulse interval should be reduced.
Auxiliary Equipment: All auxiliary equipment must be installed according to its manufacturer’s specifications and interlocked with the entire system as needed. Direction of rotation of each item must be checked prior to start-up of the entire system. 3-5 CAMCORP, INC. Phone: 913-831-0740 Fax: 913-831-9271 www.camcorpinc.
I N S TA L L AT I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S 1. Bottom Load Cartridge Filter Elements Before entering the dust collector and beginning the installation procedure, follow the proper lockout, tagout and confined space entry procedures. Remove old bags and cages from the collector. Clean the bag cups/venturis so the urethane top will seal on a clean metal surface. Remove any sharp burrs or surface roughness that can cause tears in the urethane filter element tops.
5. Center the clamp in the groove in the urethane top. Using a nut driver, hand tighten the clamp. Care should be taken when tightening the clamp: • Do not over tighten. Over tightening may cause a cutting of the urethane. • If the urethane material extrudes into the clamp band notches or around the edge of the clamp, over tightening has occurred. • Use of “lined” clamp is recommended, which protects the urethane from damage. Maximum width of the clamp band is 9/16”.
I N S TA L L AT I O N I N S T R U C T I O N S 1. Top Load Filter Elements Remove old bags and cages from the collector. The clean air plenum should be thoroughly cleaned after removing the used bags and cages. Clean the top surface and inside surface of the tubesheet hole so the urethane top will seal on a clean smooth metal surface. Remove any sharp edges prior to installing the filter elements as they can cause tears in the urethane tops of the filter elements.
Installation of Snapband Retainers for Top Load Filter Elements NOTE: A snapband retainer has been shipped with every top load Filter Element. If you do not have these snapband retainers, call your representative immediately so they can be sent to you for proper installation. Figure #6 Figure #7 Figure #8 5. Pinch the snapband retainer in the center to form a figure “8” (Figure #6). 6. Bend the loop slightly and place the retainer under the molded lip of the top flange of the filter element.
Section 4 - Operation Operating Principle A. B. C. D. Solids laden air or gases enter the unit at the hopper or housing inlet. Air passes through the filter media. Solids are retained on the filter media surface. Cleaning cycle consists of a momentary blast of 90-100 psig compressed air: 1. Momentarily taking a row of cartridges off stream through pressure reversal. 2. Flexing filter cartridges. 3. Solids are released to fall towards hopper and through rotary valve or other discharge equipment.
Start-Up Checklist Installation Make sure the unit is secured to the floor or mounting surface. The ladder(s) and platform(s) must be tightened and set up according to OSHA requirements. Ducting and piping must be secured and routed out of the way of traffic whenever possible to avoid injury. Ducting must also be free of all debris including moisture.
Start-Up Checklist (continued) Explosion Relief Panels – Shear Bolt Style (when used) Inspect explosion relief vents (when used) for broken or damaged explosion bolts. ASSURE THAT THERE ARE NO STEEL BOLTS USED FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE EXPLOSION RELIEF PANEL!!! These bolts are made of special high tech poly-vinyl chloride and are designed to relieve at a specific pressure. A magnet should be used to check for steel bolts.
Start-Up Checklist (continued) With the compressed air system operating, energize the timer board to begin pulsing. Check to see that all solenoids are firing by placing a finger over the exhaust port of one of the solenoid valves. When the solenoid valve being checked is energized by an electrical pulse from the timer board the finger at the exhaust port should feel a short blast of air.
Start-Up Dust Control Systems Fan or Blower System Start the fan or blower and check for proper rotation. Check dust pickup points for proper suction. Balance airflow in individual ducts. Check for air leakage at all flanged connections. Equipment Start-Up Sequence The compressed air supply system must be started first. When the pressure gauge on the compressed air manifold indicates that the system is at full pressure (90-100psig) the pulse timer can be energized.
Start-Up Dust Control Systems (continued) Note: If the pressure drop continues to increase over 5” w.g. and does not stabilize, decrease the timer “off time” to fifteen seconds. Should adjustment of the timer “off time” fail to cause the pressure drop to stabilize below 5” w.g., shut down the collector and refer to “Troubleshooting the Collector” or call your CAMCORP representative.

available. You will note that both the master controllers and slave boards have a telephone style connector mounted on the upper right hand side of the board. These connectors are for use in systems requiring slave boards that must be daisy chained together to provide additional channel capability. For systems that require the slave boards, the master controller must not have any connection made to its daisy chain input unless it is designated as a slave control itself.
3.6 High Alarm Setup The operation of the High Alarm Setup is identical to the High and Low Limit Setup and is only available when a pressure module is installed. The High Alarm default is 6.0″ w.c. [1.49 kPa]. The upper settable value is the calibration pressure of the pressure module and the lower limit is zero.

Section 6- Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the Dust Collector Excessive Pressure Drop Across Filter Cartridges The differential pressure gauge or manometer on your dust collector should read 6” w.g. or less. Higher readings and/or steadily increasing readings are an indication that the main airflow through the dust collector may be restricted and a potential process problem such as poor suction at duct pickup points may exist. In extreme cases (over 17” w.g.) filter cartridges will be damaged.
Troubleshooting the Dust Collector (continued) Filter Cartridges Loaded with Dust This is a condition known as blinding. If the dust is dry see the next four paragraphs below. If the dust is wet see the paragraphs below on “Water Leaks” and “Condensation”. Dust Not Discharging from the Hopper Check hopper for over-loading or bridging across the dust discharge. Correct by repairing dust discharge equipment, replacing with higher capacity equipment, installing hopper vibrators, etc.
Troubleshooting the Dust Collector (continued) Condensation If moisture has been condensing inside the collector check the dew point temperature of the incoming air stream. It may be necessary to insulate the collector and/or the ductwork leading to the collector to keep surface temperatures above the dew point and prevent condensation inside the dust collector.
Troubleshooting the Dust Collector (continued) Continuous Flow of Dust in the Clean Air Exhaust (Primary Dusting) Holes in the tube sheets Check the tube sheet for holes, cracks or loose bolts that would permit dusty air to bypass the filter cartridges. Puff of dust in the clean air exhaust after each pulse (Secondary Dusting) Compressed air manifold pressure too high Check compressed air manifold pressure gauge.
Troubleshooting the Dust Collector (continued) Chemical attack Filter material degrades due to attack from certain chemicals in the dust or gasses in the air stream. High moisture High moisture content in the collector may cause certain filter cartridge material to shrink, degrade (more rapidly at elevated temperatures) or blind off. Localized abrasion Abrasion of the filter cartridges where high velocity dusty air hits the filter cartridges.
Troubleshooting the Compressed Air System Pulsing failure of all valves or the same numbered valve on each header Pulse timer board inoperative Check pulse timer board for 120 VAC pulse between each numbered terminal on timer board and solenoid common terminal. Repair or replace timer if necessary. Open or short circuit in wiring between pulse timer board and solenoids Check continuity with ohmmeter or suitable tester and repair as required.
Section 7 – Routine Maintenance Inspection Frequency will vary as widely as there are operating conditions. general proceed as follows: In Daily – Check unit differential pressure. Weekly – Check pulse timer board and solenoid valves for function. This usually is only listening to check uniform time in intervals between blasts. Monthly – Lubricate fan, rotary valve and screw conveyor. Check seals on latter two for dust loss. Quarterly – On Top Access Units, check for dust accumulation in clean air plenum.
Section 8 – Appendix Dust Collection Terms & Definitions Air-to-Cloth Ratio – Ratio of the volume of gas filtered (in ACFM) to the amount of filter media (in square feet). Cartridge Blinding – A condition where dust particles become embedded in the fabric over time and are not removed by the cleaning mechanism. This results in an increased pressure drop across the filter cartridge media. Bleed Through – Small particles of dust that are able to migrate through the filter cartridges.
Magnehelic Gauge – A standard devise used to measure differential pressure. Pressure Drop – Another term for differential pressure or the drop in pressure between two measured points. Re-Entrainment – The re-depositing of dust on the filter media after it has been cleaned off. This can be caused by turbulence in the hopper (or dirty air plenum) or by excessive airflow through the dust collector. Solenoid Valve – In the case of a dust collector, a solenoid valve is used to open and close a diaphragm valve.
