Section 3 - Installation

CAMCORP dust collectors are shipped either in one piece, fully assembled,
or in two or more sections depending on the unit size and weight. Before
attempting to move the dust collector or any of its sections review both the
certified general assembly drawing supplied from CAMCORP and the
rigging and lifting guidelines included in this manual. Become familiar with
the size and number of sections to be assembled, the orientation of inlet(s),
outlet(s), access door(s) and compressed air header(s), as well as the
number and location of lifting lugs.
Dust collectors of this type are manufactured from steel sheets or plate and
are quite flexible. Therefore, even though care has been taken to maintain
dimensional accuracy and squareness, some difficulty should be anticipated
and temporary bracing in the field may be required.
The following sequential procedure will help to minimize any assembly
difficulties:
STEP 1: Set up the supporting steel or legs for the dust collector level and
square. Precision at this point will greatly help facilitate erection and bolt
hole alignment of the dust collector sections.
STEP 2: Place the hopper on the supporting steel or legs. Check for
squareness, and for bolthole alignment between the hopper and the support
steel or legs. Install and tighten all fasteners to the appropriate
specifications.
STEP 3: Lift the top section of the dust collector into place. DO NOT
LOWER THE SECTION ONTO THE HOPPER FLANGE UNTIL
ALIGNMENT IS ACCOMPLISHED. The silicone caulk makes horizontal
movement very difficult once a load is applied. With the top section
suspended over the hopper ½” to 1”, apply silicone caulk onto the hopper
flange. Begin bolt hole alignment starting at the center of the plenum and
working toward the ends by using tapered drift pins. If the wall(s) has flexed
out of square it will be necessary to pry or pull it back into alignment.
Depending on the size of the unit and the degree of difficulty hydraulic jacks
and come-alongs may be required. When the mating holes are properly
aligned, finish lowering the plenum. Install the remaining bolts, washers, and
nuts and torque to the appropriate specifications.
