Manual Part No. 153632-001 • June 2002

DESCRIPTION

The Trion MP 600M air cleaner is designed to capture
machine tool fluids, metal dust and smoke for clean air
filtration. It can be mounted to a wall, frame, platform, or
directly on the machine tool. Mist, dust, and smoke are
drawn from each machine through an external duct into
the air cleaner. A self-draining Impinger removes the
heavy mist and droplets (including water soluble fluids),
and the remaining contaminates are captured by the pre­filter and the primary filter. Clean air is returned to the
plant through the vertical discharge. The air cleaner
operates at 95-99.97% efficiency at the rated 600 CFM
airflow.

NEW UNIT INSPECTION

At the time the unit is received, all shipping containers
and their contents should be examined for damage. Any
damage occurring in shipment must be immediately
reported to the carrier, an inspection report completed
and a claim filed at the receiving point. The unit cabinet
is shipped completely assembled

POSITION AIR CLEANER CABINET

To reduce weight for ease in handling, remove the pre­filters, main filters and place them safely aside. Position
the cabinet in the designated location giving
consideration to following points:

(a) Provide sufficient clearance in front of the

access doors for mechanical filter replacement.
A minimum of 26” is required (see figure 2).

(b) Level the cabinet to assure proper drainage from

the drain pan.

(c) Unless specific design features have been

prearranged, the direction of air flow through th
e cabinet may be from any side or upward
through the bottom. When the filters are
reinstalled, the directional arrows on the filters
must concur with airflow through the cabinet. If
mist suppressors have been specified, they are
to be installed on the air entering side of the unit.

After the cabinet has been properly located, it may be
secured into place at the mounting pads either by bolting
or welding.

The conduit is connected to the cabinet junction box, or
motor starter enclosure on the top-right front corner of
unit.

OPERATION

To start the air cleaner, close the access door and
activate the ON-OFF control switch to ON. The blower
motor should start.

the pressure reading when the pre-filter is replaced. At
that point, the unit would be allowed to run until 3.1” w.c.
and both filters replaced.

NOTE:

The unit can continue to run beyond the 3.1” w.c.
pressure reading; however, airflow will be reduced
further.

CAUTION:

To check internal components, disconnect power source
to unit to prevent accidental shock.

MAINTENANCE

Blower Rotation (3 phase power only)

By looking down through the MP600M discharge grille
confirm blower rotation agrees with rotation label on
motor mount. If rotation is incorrect reverse two (2) input
power leads connections in the junction box, switch box
or motor starter enclosure. Again verify correct blower
rotation.

FILTER CHANGE (MINI-HELIC GAUGE)
INDICATOR (OPTIONAL) OPERATION

Change filter according to the pressure drop across the
filter. A minihelic gauge with a range from 0-5” water
column is optional for reading filter pressure.

Estimated Filter Change Pressure

Main Filter Both Filters Change Pre-filter Recommended Final

95% 1.8”w.c. 3.1”w.c.

HEPA 1.8”w.c. 3.1”w.c.

These readings will vary slightly due to altitude and
temperature.

Upon installation of the unit, note the initial pressure
reading and record in the table above. Check daily and
replace pre-filter at the reading shown in the table.
Pressure should return to near the initial pressure
reading. When the pressure reading, with new pre-filter,
shows little improvement (less than 0.1”) allow unit to run
until recommended final pressure is reached. At that
point, both pre-filter and main filter should be replaced.
Impinger models will have greater pressure initially than
standard models.

NOTE:

Precision equipment will require a minimum amount of
maintenance to keep it in operating condition. You can
perform all normal preventative maintenance. If you are
unfamiliar with the terminology used in the in the
following sections, refer to the Parts List (Figure 7-A).

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Cleaning of Impinger, and inspection and replacement of
pre-filter and main filter.

CAUTION:

Always disconnect the power source before working on
or near any electrical component. If the disconnect point
is out of sight, lock it in the proper position and tag to
prevent unexpected application of power.

1. Turn unit off.

2. Open access door by turning door latches
counter clockwise.

3. Remove filter element, pre-filter and impinger
assembly or pre-filter support.

4. Clean impinger by first rinsing with warm to hot
water, then immerse in a commercial grade
detergent. Trion recommends our specially
formulated Tridex detergent to provide maximum
cleaning efficiency on air cleaning equipment.
For best results, the cleaning solution should be
140ºF to 160ºF. The impinger should be soaked
in the solution for 1½ to 2 hours (longer if
extremely dirty).

NOTE:

Using non-factory approved detergents can cause
damage to the metal surface.

Once a pattern is established, the pre-filters can be
replaced on a calendar basis with the main filter being
replaced when the gauge reads “Recommended Final”
in the Table. For example, if the unit takes 6 weeks to go
from initial reading to 1.8” w.c., the pre-filter would then
be replaced every 6 weeks until no change occurred in

5. While impinger is soaking, make the following
inspections:

10

A.

Thoroughly inspect the main and pre­filter for holes, tears or any other
condition that might allow air to leak
through or around the filter. Replace the
filters if any damage is found.

B. Inspect the cabinet. Remove all foreign

debris and dirt accumulation inside the
cabinet.

C. Check for dirt accumulation on the

blower wheel blades and clean if there
is a buildup.

D. Bearings of blower motor should be

checked for signs of unusual wear.

E. If liquids are being collected, check the

drain fittings for proper drainage.

6. When soaking of impinger is complete, rinse

7. Reinstall impinger and filters into the unit.
