Process owners/operators have important responsibilities relating to combustible hazards.
Process owners/operators must determine whether their process creates combustible
dust, fume, or mist. If combustible dust, fume, or mist is generated, process owners/operators should at a
minimum:
• Comply with all applicable codes and standards. Among other considerations, current NFPA standards
require owners/operators whose processes involve potentially combustible materials to have a current
Hazard Analysis, which can serve as the foundation for their process hazard mitigation strategies.
• Prevent all ignition sources from entering any dust collection equipment.
• Design, select, and implement fire and explosion mitigation, suppression, and isolation strategies that
are appropriate for the risks associated with their application.
• Develop and implement maintenance work practices to maintain a safe operating environment, ensuring
that combustible dust, fume, or mist does not accumulate within the plant.
Donaldson recommends process owners/operators consult with experts to insure each of these
responsibilities are met.
As a manufacturer and supplier of Industrial Filtration Products, Donaldson can assist process owners/
operators in the selection of filtration technologies. However, process owners/operators retain all
responsibility for the suitability of fire and explosion hazard mitigation, suppression, and isolation strategies.
Donaldson assumes no responsibility or liability for the suitability of any fire and/or explosion mitigation
strategy, or any items incorporated into a collector as part of an owner/operators hazard mitigation strategy.
Improper operation of a dust control system may contribute to conditions in the work area or facility that
could result in severe personal injury and product or property damage. Check that all collection equipment is
properly selected and sized for the intended use.
DO NOT operate this equipment until you have read and understand the instruction warnings in the
Installation and Operations Manual. For a replacement manual, contact Donaldson Torit.
This manual contains specific precautionary statements relative to worker safety. Read thoroughly and comply
as directed. Discuss the use and application of this equipment with a Donaldson Torit representative. Instruct all

DescriptionPurpose and Intended Use
Cabinet Series 50 to 90 dust collectors are selfcontained, intermittent-duty collectors with envelopestyle filters. The Cabinet series collectors provide highly
efficient, low maintenance air cleaning. Filters are
cleaned using the standard manual filter shaker.
Designed to increase the versatility of the collector,
standard options include a dust drawer, hopper
package for a 5-gallon pail or 55-gallon drum, indoor
and outdoor exhaust deflectors, HEPA filter packs,
and exhaust silencers. Four filter media choices and
three construction options are among the many options
available to customize the collector to the specific
application.
Cabinet collectors provide excellent efficiency on
nuisance dust generated in industrial operations and are
a good choice for low airflow, light-load applications that
do not require continuous airflow. Typical applications
include grinding, buffing and polishing, abrasive blasting,
batch mixing, and bag dumping. Often, individual Cabinet
collectors are dedicated to one or two machines.
Four filter media selections offer a wide variety of
characteristics: cotton sateen is the standard media
and provides good efficiency in applications up to 180°F;
polyester sateen provides the same efficiency, but has
higher temperature resistance (240° F) and is more
abrasion-resistant; woven polyester provides better
dust release capabilities with lower efficiency; and
polypropylene provides some chemical resistance up to
180° F.
Note: Standard collectors (Models 54-90) are
limited to 150°F because of internal blower
motor.
Combustible materials such as buffing lint, paper, wood, metal dusts, weld fume, or flammable
coolants or solvents represent potential fire and/or explosion hazards. Use special care when
selecting, installing, and operating all dust, fume, or mist collection equipment when such combustible
materials may be present in order to protect workers and property from serious injury or damage due to a
fire and/or explosion.
Consult and comply with all National and Local Codes related to fire and/or explosion properties of
combustible materials when determining the location and operation of all dust, fume, or mist collection
equipment.
Standard Donaldson Torit equipment is not equipped with fire extinguishing or explosion protection systems.

Operation
During normal operation, dust-laden air enters the
collector through the dirty-air inlet and passes through
the collector where the dust collects on the outside
surface of the filter media. As dust collects on the filter
surfaces, a dust cake forms, which actually improves the
efficiency of the filters. The greater the amount of dust
cake accumulated, the higher the efficiency of the filter.
dirty-air inlet
blower ON
clean-air
chamber
clean-air outlet
The filtered air flows up through the center of the
filters and into the clean-air chamber. Clean, filtered air
discharges through clean-air outlet located on top of the
collector.
To clean the filters the fan must first be shut off. Pushing
down on the hand- or foot-operated shaker pedal and
releasing rapidly six times completes manual filter
cleaning. The releasing action causes the dust cake to
fracture and fall into the dust storage area.

Ductwork
If collector is operated with more
than the maximum permissible
inlet size, the fan motor can overload or dust
can settle in the duct due to low air velocity.
1. Inlet collars can be located on the side, top, or back
of the cabinet by removing the desired inlet cover
plate and installing the inlet collar using the same
screws.
2. Use the shortest possible inlet duct. Avoid the use
of tees or flexible, wire-molded duct except where
machine motion or vibration needs to be isolated.
Flexible duct has a high static pressure and reduces
airflow.
3. Size duct for the recommended air velocity of the
conveyed material or material may collect inside the
duct.
4. Connect joints with sheet metal screws, rivets, or
sealer. Finish each joint with sealer or duct tape.
Note: Sheet metal screws may cause fibrous
or stringing particulate to accumulate
inside duct. Use rivets or sealant in these
conditions.

Magnehelic® Gauge
Cabinet Collector, Models 54-90
The Magnehelic is a differential pressure gauge used
to measure the pressure difference between the cleanair and dirty-air plenums and provides a visual display
of filter change requirements. The high-pressure tap is
located in the dirty-air plenum and the low-pressure tap
is located in the clean-air plenum.
1. Choose a convenient, accessible location on or near
the collector for mounting that provides the best
visual advantage.
2. Plug the pressure ports on the back of the gauge
using two, 1/8-in NPT pipe plugs supplied. Install
two, 1/8-in NPT male adapters supplied with the
gauge into the high- and low-pressure ports on the
side of the gauges.

4. Mount the gauge and bracket assembly to the
supporting structure using two, self-drilling screws.
5. Thirty-five feet of plastic tubing is supplied and must
be cut in two sections. Connect one section of tubing
from the gauge’s high-pressure port to the pressure
fitting located in the dirty-air plenum. Connect
remaining tubing from the gauge’s low-pressure
port to the fitting in the clean-air plenum. Additional
tubing can be ordered from your representative.
6. Zero and maintain the gauge as directed in the
manufacturer’s Operating and Maintenance
