COLLECTION SYSTEM
The Model W1823 is designed to collect dust from one
large machine or two small machines at a time. This can
be accomplished by either connecting it to one machine at
a time or by connecting it to multiple machines and using
blast gates to isolate different dust lines. This machine
also works quite well as a point-of-use dust collector.
Tips for Optimum Performance
• Keep ducts between the dust collector and machines
as short as possible.
• Note that flex hose reduces CFM more than smooth-
walled duct.
• Keep ducting directional changes to a minimum. The
more curved fittings you use, the more resistance to
flow, resulting in loss of suction.
• Gradual directional changes are more efficient than
sudden directional changes (i.e. use 45° elbows in
place of 90° elbows whenever possible).
• Use smooth-walled duct whenever possible.
• The simpler the system, the more efficient and less
costly it will be.
• If the dust collector is attached to a 2" or 2 1 ⁄
2
"
collection port, open another blast gate to increase
the amount of CFM or airflow to maintain proper
cyclonic action and dust separation.
