OPERATIONS

General Operation

The Model W1823 is designed to be a point-of-source dust collector system, and is capable of collecting dust from one large machine or two small machines at a time.

This cyclone dust collector creates a vortex from incoming air that extracts most dust particles and drops them into the steel collection drum below, while the remaining fine dust (see Figure 31) travels past the impeller and into the canister filter. The filter is made of spun-bond polyester, which catches 99.9% of particles from 0.2 to 2 microns in size, and is pleated to provide maximum surface area for efficient airflow.

Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety goggles, a respirator, and hearing protection when operating this machine.

The canister filter is equipped with a cleaning mechanism inside that loosens built-up dust so it falls into the bag below, which improves airflow for a well-used filter.
