1.0 Introduction

1.1 Operational Explanation (See Figure 2 Operational Schematic)

The Torit® Downflo® model SDF dust collector is used for the collection of airborne dust and particulate. The model SDF collector provides highly efficient, continuous, on-line dust collection.

The Torit-Built

filter elements are the heart of the model SDF dust collector. These filter elements help ensure that clean air is returned to the plant environment.

Technical and field support are always available from your local Torit representative and distributors.

Normal Operation

1.1.1 Normal Operation

During normal operation, contaminated air enters through the top inlet area and passes down and through the filter elements. Dust is collected on the outside surface of the filter elements. The clean, filtered air flows through the center of the filter elements and into the clean air plenum, where it exits through the clean air outlet.

1.1.2 Filter Cleaning

2.3 Equipment/Tools Required

Filter elements are cleaned automatically and sequentially. The result is that only one filter cartridge will be off-line for cleaning at any given time.

During the filter element cleaning purge, a solenoid valve is energized, causing the corresponding diaphragm valve to send a pulse of compressed air through the filter element (from the inside outward), removing the collected dust from the outside surfaces of the filter element. The dust falls into the dust storage container.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Inspection

The Downflo SDF is normally shipped by common carrier and should be checked for damage that may have occurred en route. Any damage should be noted and the carrier notified immediately.

The following is a list of typical tools and equipment required to install and assemble a Downflo SDF unit.
