RPC-2 REVERSE PULSE DUST COLLECTOR 1.0 1.1.1 These instructions cover the assembly, installation, operation and maintenance of Clemco RPC-2 Reverse Pulse Dust Collectors. 1.1.2 These instructions also contain important information required for safe operation of the collector when used with a blast cabinet. Before using the cabinet all personnel involved with the cabinet operation must read this entire manual. Refer to the appropriate manual for operation of the blast cabinet. DANGER Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury....

RPC-2 REVERSE PULSE DUST COLLECTOR 1.3.2 The exhauster is mounted on the clean-air side of the filter cartridges, and provides "pull-through" (pulls air through the reclaimer) air flow, rated at 600, or 900 cfm, depending on the exhauster size. Dust and fines are drawn through the reclaimer into the dust collector, trapping dust before discharging clean air. 1.3.3 Filter cartridges are cleaned by a pulse of high velocity compressed air expanding against the inner surface of the cartridges. The expanding air momentarily reverses air flow through the cartridge, releasing dust that has accumulated...

RPC-2 REVERSE PULSE DUST COLLECTOR 2.1.4 Remove the backing from the gasket and place the gasket along the inside perimeter of the reclaimer bolt holes. Use cap screws to attach the vortex to the reclaimer. 2.2 NOTE: A wiring schematic for the RPC Collector is packed in the sequence panel. A schematic for Clemco cabinets is supplied with the cabinet. After wiring is completed, keep the schematics and manuals together for future reference and electrical replacement parts. 2.2.1 Position the collector in a convenient location that complies with OSHA and local safety codes. Allow access to the differential...

RPC-2 REVERSE PULSE DUST COLLECTOR 2.3.5 Check the amperage on initial start up. If the motor draws excessive amperage, gradually close the damper until the amperage is within the specifications shown on the motor plate. The damper is located on the exhauster outlet. 2.4 Flex Hose Connection 2.4.1 Connect the flexible exhaust hose between the reclaimer outlet adaptor and dust collector inlet adaptor. It may be easier to slip the hose over the adaptors, and create a tighter seal, if the first two or three inches of wire is removed from the inside of the hose. Use care not to damage the hose. Secure...

RPC-2 REVERSE PULSE DUST COLLECTOR higher. Media Size Static Pressure 3.2.3 Start the exhauster at the control panel, usually mounted on the blast cabinet. 3.2.4 Check the pulse manifold pressure. 3.3.1 Run the collector until all media is recovered from the cabinet, and the cabinet is free of airborne dust. 3.3.3 Turn off the compressed air supply valve. 3.3.4 Drain the pulse manifold whenever the compressed air supply is turned off. The drain petcock is mounted on the side of the collector. See Figure 1. 3.3.5 Empty contents of the dust drawer into a suitable container, per Section...

RPC-2 REVERSE PULSE DUST COLLECTOR 4.3.7 Fine-tuning is required for optimum reclaimer efficiency. After adjusting the damper to the best balance of media recovery and media cleaning, carryover, or dirty media continues to be a problem, the adjustable vortex cylinder may need adjustment. Consult the cabinet manual or reclaimer manual for vortex adjustment. Insert the needle into straight section of flex hose, about 8-inches above the top of the reclaimer. NOTE: These instructions show several methods of taking static pressure readings (negative pressure) on cabinet reclaimers, using a flexible...

Close the manometer valves and store the manometer in the original container in a clean area. Note: If the manometer installation is permanent, the manometer may remain on the reclaimer body after the valves are closed. The manometer must be vertical when taking pressure readings. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE WARNING Always wear a properly fitted and maintained, NIOSH approved respirator and eye protection when emptying...
