SECTION 4: DESIGNING THE

SYSTEM

General		Duct Material

Always guard against static electrical build up by grounding all dust col- lection lines.

The Model G0562Z/G0562ZP and G1030Z2/ G1030Z2P can be operated as either a station- ary or a mobile unit. There are advantages and disadvantages to both set-ups. The advantage of the mobile system is eliminating the cost of many ducts and fittings. On the other hand, the station- ary system is more versatile and convenient.

If using this machine as a central dust collector system, put the dust collector in an out of the way location such as a corner or separate room. The dust collector is capable of collecting dust from up to three machines running simultaneously. Grizzly offers a complete line of dust collection accessories for setting up a stationary system. Additionally, Grizzly offers a complete guide book entitled Dust Collection Basics.

Whatever system you choose, always make sure there are no open flames or pilot lights in the same room as the dust collector. There is a risk of explosion if dust is dispersed into the air.

You have many choices regarding main line and branch line duct material. For best results, use metal duct for the main line and branch lines, then use short lengths of flexible hose to connect each machine to the branch lines.

Plastic duct is also a popular material for home shops. However, be aware that there is a fire or explosion hazard if plastic duct material is used for dust collection without being grounded against static electrical charge build-up. This topic will be discussed later in this section. Another problem with using plastic is that it is less efficient per foot than metal.

Metal Duct

Advantages of metal duct is its conductivity and that it does not contribute to static electrical charge build-up. However, static charges are still produced when dust particles strike other dust particles as they move through the duct. Since metal duct is a conductor, it can be grounded quite easily to dissipate any static electrical charges.

G1030Z2 specifications

The Grizzly G1030Z2 and G0562Z are two remarkable dust collection systems designed for woodworkers and craftsmen who prioritize maintaining a clean and efficient working environment. These machines are pivotal in minimizing airborne dust and debris, contributing not only to a tidier workspace but also to improved health and safety standards.

The Grizzly G1030Z2 is a powerful 3HP dust collector with a 2-stage cyclone system. Its two-stage design improves efficiency by separating larger particles from fine dust before reaching the filter bag. This not only prolongs the life of the filter but also enhances the overall suction power of the unit. With an airflow capacity of 1,200 CFM, the G1030Z2 is capable of handling multiple machines simultaneously, making it an ideal choice for serious woodworkers or small to medium-sized shops. It also features a large, 30-gallon collection bag, allowing for extended use before needing to be emptied.

On the other hand, the Grizzly G0562Z is a versatile and compact option that is perfect for small shops with limited space. This dust collector, also featuring a 2HP motor, offers a combination of powerful suction and a compact footprint. The 1,100 CFM airflow effectively captures dust from stationary machines. The G0562Z includes a convenient 5-micron felt filter bag that ensures even the finest particles are captured, offering an environmentally friendly solution to dust management. The design of this model includes wheeled casters for easier mobility around the workshop, providing convenience and flexibility for woodworkers performing various tasks.

Both models feature sturdy construction and easy-to-use systems for changing collection bags, ensuring minimal downtime in your workflow. Moreover, they boast noise-reducing technology, which is essential in settings where multiple machines operate simultaneously.

Overall, the Grizzly G1030Z2 and G0562Z embody the balance of innovation, efficiency, and functionality. They are engineered with the modern woodworker in mind, integrating advanced technologies that promote not only productivity but also safety, making them valuable assets in any woodworking shop. Through their high performance and reliability, these dust collection systems significantly contribute to a healthier workplace atmosphere.
