Dust Collector Operation Basics: Compressed Air Supply

Mobile Dust Collector Safety: Minimizing Risks and Optimizing Performance

Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of your mobile dust collector is paramount. This blog post highlights key safety considerations and the importance of a compressed air supply.

Safety First:

• Refer to the Manual: Always consult the safety matrix in your user manual. It provides a comprehensive overview of potential hazards and mitigation strategies. Following basic setup instructions significantly reduces the risk of operational issues.

Compressed Air Supply:

• Air Inlet, Moisture Separator, and Regulator: The compressed air system typically comprises a 1-inch air inlet line with safety pins, leading to a moisture separator and then a regulator.
• Moisture Removal: The moisture separator removes excess moisture from the compressed air before it reaches the valves. This is crucial as water can damage the valves and filters.
• Regulator Settings: Set the regulator to deliver an air pressure of 100 psi. This ensures optimal performance for the Goyen valves, which control the pulsing action that efficiently cleans the dust collector cartridges.

By prioritizing safety and maintaining a proper compressed air supply, you can maximize the performance and lifespan of your mobile dust collector. Remember to consult your user manual for detailed instructions and safety protocols specific to your model.
