Dust Collectors – Series CPV

MAINTENANCE

A platform should be used when carrying out maintenance where the

position of the technician’s feet is greater or equal to 2 metres above

ground level.

Before any work is carried out, ensure the equipment is adequately

isolated and safe.

Ensure the pneumatic system is fully isolated and depressurised before

any work is carried out.

For ancillary equipment not manufactured by Donaldson, refer to

manufacturer's instructions.

If it is unavoidable to work on the equipment while an explosive

atmosphere is present, care should be taken to avoid introducing

ignition sources not present during expected operation. Non-sparking

tools should be used.

Access to the dirty air chamber of the equipment may create risks and

hazards that under normal circumstances are not present and as such

this work must be carried out by competent personnel. These risks

include inhalation of dust and potential explosion hazards.

In order to maintain the original collector specification and to ensure

the same level of safety, only genuine spare parts should be fitted.

Every care has been taken to avoid the risk of ignition of a flammable

atmosphere. The measures taken to avoid ignition should not be altered

since this may result in unsafe operation. Particular care should be

taken during maintenance and component replacement to ensure the

same level of safety is maintained. When replacing fan impellers, avoid

any rubbing of components (to prevent mechanical sparks).

Care should be taken during cleaning and maintenance to avoid

creating static discharges that have the potential to ignite a flammable

atmosphere.

Routine inspection

To maintain the optimum performance of any dust collector, a routine inspection

should be made to minimise down-time in the event of equipment malfunction,

particularly on continuous performance applications and to ensure the equipment

is maintained to its original supply condition.

Any abnormal change in pressure differential across the filter packs indicates a

change in operating conditions and a fault to be rectified. For example, a

prolonged stoppage of compressed air will cause an excessive build-up of dust

on the filter packs, resulting in a greatly increased pressure drop.
