Routing Blower Exhaust from Press

Blower exhaust can add unwanted heat and noise into a room. Route blower exhaust from press upward near ceiling or to outside. Running exhaust outside is recommended. If running exhaust outside, make sure rain cannot get in.

Install exhaust piping from exhaust muffler as follows:

1.Use coupling to connect minimum amount of customer-provided 2-1/2 inch (6.35 cm) pipe (schedule 80 CPVC, copper) to muffler 2 inch (5.08 cm) pipe.

2.Run pipe to ceiling area or outside building. Support pipe as required. The end of the pipe run should be bell shaped and pointed downward to avoid collecting debris.

IMPORTANT: Pipe must be adequately supported. When using CPVC, support the pipe every 5 feet (1.52 m).

NOTE: Use 45 degree bends wherever possible. avoid 90 degree bends.

3.Exhaust can be routed into common header with other presses. Header must be suitably sized. Refer to Table 2.

NOTE: Bring pipe into header using Y tee. Angle pipe so air is routed toward opening to atmosphere.

IMPORTANT: Undersized header WILL shorten motor life and void warranty.
