This manual contains important safety information
and precautionary measures. It is impossible to list
all potential hazards associated with every dust
collection system in each application. Proper use of
the equipment must be discussed with United Air
Specialists, Inc. (UAS) or your local Cyclone
representative. Operating personnel must be aware
of, and adhere to, the most stringent safety
procedures.
1.1 GENERAL CAUTIONS ON USING DUST
CONTROL EQUIPMENT
1. Avoid mixing combustible materials such as
aluminum, paper, wood or other organic dusts
with dusts generated from grinding or welding
metals. A fire hazard could develop from sparks
entering the dust collector. When collecting
flammable or explosive materials, the dust
collector should be located outdoors and
incorporate the appropriate safety measures
and/or accessories.
2. When collecting emissions from spark-producing
processes, care must be taken to reduce any
potential fire hazards. Dust collectors do not
contain fire extinguishing equipment unless
specifically ordered. Consult fire extinguishing
experts for recommendations concerning proper
fire detection and suppression systems.
3. Some dust collection systems require explosion
venting. Consult your insurance underwriter,
NFPA (National Fire Prevention Association)
Manual and local fire authorities to determine
requirements for explosion venting.

2.2 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
C-Series cyclones are high-efficiency dust collectors
designed to eliminate airborne dust as it is
generated. Contaminants are captured at the
source(s), then conveyed through ductwork to the
collector where the dust is separated from the
airstream and collected.
The primary mode of operation is the air cleaning
operation. The separated dust is discharged into a
collection container. The clean air is then exhausted
into the atmosphere or further filtered through
afterfilters.

2.3 AIR FILTERING OPERATION
Normal operation consists of the air filtering
operation and the resulting clean air discharge.
During the air filtering operation, contaminated air is
drawn into the UAS Cyclone Dust Collector through
the air inlet located on the upper barrel above the
internal helix (see Figure 1). The contaminated air
spirals downward and accelerates as the cone
narrows whereby higher centrifugal forces are
exerted on dust particles in the airstream. As the
contaminated air travels down the cone, it
accelerates and the particles are thrown to the
periphery of the airstream. Aided by gravity, the
heavy particles are discharged into a dust-tight
container (i.e. drum or hopper). As the particles drop
out, the exhaust airstream spirals upward inside the
downward stream of contaminated air into the fan
housing and is then exhausted into the atmosphere.
NOTE: For fine dust and dust with low densities, the
cyclone should be considered only as a
pre-cleaner. Secondary filtration may be
required.

Cyclone Dust Collector
4.1 OFF LOADING AND INSPECTION
C-Series cyclone units are shipped with major
components mounted on skids. The blower assembly
will be pre-assembled to the upper barrel assembly.
The orientation will have the inlet and outlet opposed
180° unless requested otherwise at the time of order.
Other skids may contain afterfilter units or other
accessory components.
Inspection Note:
Upon receipt of your unit, check for any shipping
damage. A damaged carton indicates that the
equipment may have received rough handling during
shipping that may have caused possible internal
damage. Notify your delivery carrier and enter a
claim if any damage is found.
4.2 INSTALLATION PLANNING
Selecting the proper location for your dust collection
equipment is very important. See Figure 2 for typical
installation details.
Certain items should be considered when locating
the unit, such as: room to empty the dust storage
container(s) or hoppers; shortest run for location of
ductwork; electrical connections; wall penetrations;
fan discharge direction; afterfilters. Ease of
maintenance should also be considered when
selecting the location and orientation of the system
(see Figure 3).
!
WARNING
• Do not locate dust collector near dust source in
cases where the dust is explosive or a fire hazard.
• In preparing to install the unit, ensure location is
clear of all obstructions, such as utility lines or
roof overhangs.

Cyclone Dust Collector
The UAS Cyclone Dust Collector is usually mounted
on a reinforced concrete foundation. Other mounting
options are possible. Structural
calculations for the foundation or other mounting
arrangement must include the weight of the cyclone,
the material collected and the weight of all auxiliary
equipment. These weights must be considered
together with wind, seismic and other live load
ratings when designing the support structure. See
the Specification Table on page 3 for dust collector
unit weights.
Interconnecting ductwork (not provided with the
Cyclone Dust Collector) should be designed and
properly sized to handle the air volume at the
recommended air velocities for the entrainment of
dust into the collection system. When installing
ductwork, use the shortest possible runs and largeradius elbows whenever possible. The shortest duct
length with a minimum number of elbows will
maximize the performance of the unit. Seal all joints.
Follow ductwork design methods as listed in the
Industrial V
American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists. In the case of spark-producing
processes, system design should incorporate
measures to prevent live sparks from entering the
dust collector. Consult local authorities for the
location of the unit and any precautions to consider
when collecting combustible, explosive or hazardous
dusts. Review General Cautions listed on page 1.
With any air-moving device, a certain amount of
noise is created. Normally, the noise level is not as
high as that of other machinery in the area. If you
require an additional reduction in the noise level,
exhaust silencers are available as optional
equipment. Noise levels must be taken into
consideration as you plan the installation of your
equipment.

assembling any heavy components. Consult your
plant safety personnel for recommendations.
examine the unit fan wheel. Make sure it moves
freely and is firmly in place. Re-tighten if necessary.
Replace door after inspecting. Check that motor
mounts are secure.
UAS Cyclone Dust Collectors are typically shipped in
three main assemblies:
1. Upper barrel assembly - This section consists of
the upper barrel and blower housing with motor.
2. Cone weldment - The cone is usually inverted and
mounted inside the base support stand.
3. The base assembly - This consists of support
base, legs, drum cover, hose and clamps. The
inlet and outlet pieces will also typically be
shipped with the base assembly.
!
CAUTION
Never lift cyclone by the motor. Do not rest blower
assembly on fan wheel. Use clevises (not hooks)
on lifting sling. Use spreader bars on lifting sling.
DRUM SUPPORT STAND ASSEMBLY
Place the base assembly of the unit in its desired
location. Use shims under foot pads as needed to
level unit. Once base is level, fasten down with
properly sized anchor bolts (see Figure 4).
HOPPER SUPPORT STAND ASSEMBLY
Place the hopper base assembly in its desired
location. Use shims under foot pads as needed to
level unit. Once base is level, fasten down with
properly sized anchor bolts.
Shim and anchor the bottom section of the hopper
first. Using the hardware provided, set the top
section of the hopper on the base section
(see Figure 5).
!
WARNING

Take care to use proper lifting equipment and
procedures. Drift pins may be useful for locating
hopper mating sections. With the hopper section still
supported, use hardware to bolt the sections
together. Once all hardware is in place, go back and
fully tighten all hardware on mating pads and all
bracing. Disconnect the crane.
CONE ASSEMBLY
!
WARNING
In preparing to assemble the cyclone to its stand
or hopper, connect a lifting sling to at least four
positions on the cyclone. Distribute the load
evenly. Location must be clear of all obstructions
such as utility lines or roof overhangs.
Install the cone assembly by setting the cone on top
of the base. No sealant is required at this joint for
the 1D and 2D units. Sealant is required for hopper
base units. The cones are symmetrical so there is no
specific orientation to consider. Using hardware
provided, fully secure cone to base (see Figure 4).
INLET AND OUTLET TRANSITION
INSTALLATION
Each Cyclone Dust Collector has its own bolt-on inlet
and outlet transitions. The model C192 transitions
are welded on the assembly. When mounting the
inlet transition, always make sure the top of the
transition is up. (see Figure 6). If the transition is
mounted improperly, unit efficiency will be
adversely affected.
Do not attempt to change the size of the inlet. If the
cyclone is operated with more than the maximum
permissible inlet area, the motor may become
overloaded.
INLET AND OUTLET DIRECTION CHANGE
Check to be sure the inlet and the fan discharge are
facing the desired direction. If not, they can be
rotated. The inlets on the various models can be
rotated as follows:
Series C190- inlet can be rotated at 45°
increments from the base.
Series C200 and C240- inlets can be rotated at 45°
increments.
Series C3000 and C3600 - inlets can be rotated at
221/2° increments.
Series C4400
The outlet (fan housing) on all models can be rotated
at 45° increments. Once correct positioning is
obtained, lay two ribbons of sealant around the bolt
circle of the fan housing and/or flange rings to
ensure airtight seal. Re-bolt the fan housing.
If discharge direction must be changed on the C3600
or C4400 series cyclones after unit has been
delivered (or if collector must be moved), the upper
cylinder/blower assembly must be re-oriented on the
ground because of the considerable force that may
be required to rotate the housing.
Place the upper cylinder/blower assembly on the
ground and firmly secure. To change the position of
the housing discharge in relation to the inlet, proceed
as follows:
1. Remove weather/belt guards.
2. Secure the blower package with a sling from a
crane or forklift attached to the channel on the
blower package.
3. Loosen and remove the bolts on the blower
package cover plate.
4. Lift fan/motor assembly out of fan housing and
support properly on ground.
- inlet can be rotated at 15°
increments.
CAUTION
Do not rest fan on the ground, as the fan may
become damaged.
5. Loosen and remove the bolts holding the blower
housing to the upper cylinder.
6. Rotate blower housing to the desired position.
Housing may stick because of sealant. Scrape the
old sealant off the barrel top and fan housing, then
reseal using silicone sealant. Apply a ribbon of
sealant on both sides of bolt pattern.
7. Reassemble parts in reverse order.
The blower package can now be re-installed. Apply a
ribbon of sealant to each side of bolt circle on top of
the blower housing. Gently lower the blower package
in place, making sure the terminal box on the motor
is facing desired direction. Use hardware provided
and secure package.

AF-SERIES AFTERFILTER ASSEMBLY
On AF (afterfilter) models, the filter section is
shipped in several containers. The filter section of
model C192 consists of elbow, flange assembly, filter
bag and clamp. On the larger cyclone models, the
filter section consists of three main sections:
1. Transition
2. Plenum sections
3. Filter bags and clamps
On all afterfilter models, use a ribbon of sealant
between blower housing discharge flange and the
mating flange of the afterfilter transition. If required,
bolt afterfilter plenum to transition using additional
sealant. Install proper ceiling supports or floor
supports for the afterfilter housing.
Install filters with the appropriate clamps. Make sure
bags and clamps are both on the flange collar of the
plenum (see Figure 7B).

All electrical work should be done by a qualified
electrician in accordance with local electrical
codes. Disconnect electrical power before
installing or servicing any electrical equipment.
See Figure 13 for wiring connections.
NOTE: All electrical work must be performed by a
qualified electrician according to the most
stringent applicable codes. Be sure to use
proper size starter, conduit and wiring for
blower motor.
Start fan motor and visually check for proper rotation
as indicated by the “rotation arrow” decal on the fan
housing.
NOTE: While rotating backwards, the fan will still
deliver approximately 40% of its rated air
volume but will require more horsepower than
proper rotation. It is extremely important to
ensure proper fan rotation.
If your collector has a belt-driven blower wheel, DO
NOT attempt to make any pulley changes. Each
pulley is sized for proper operation prior to shipment.
No changes should be made unless specifically
directed by United Air Specialists, Inc.

tools, parts, etc. have been left anywhere on or
inside the unit. Check the fan discharge to make
certain it is free from all debris.
Start fan motor and check for proper rotation. A
rotation arrow is located on the fan housing. If the
fan is rotating in the opposite direction, disconnect
the power to the motor starter, interchange any two
wires on the output side of the starter (three-phase
systems only), engage starter disconnect, then start
fan and recheck rotation.
Before each start-up, verify that hopper slide gates
are closed. DUST-HOG High Efficiency Cyclone Dust
Collector drum lids with gasketing and drums must
be firmly in place and tight fitting. Ductwork slide
gates must be open. Check exhaust for any
obstruction.
To operate the cyclone dust collector, simply turn on
the blower.
NOTE: Running fan in incorrect rotation for an
extended period of time will cause fan motor
damage and reduce life of fan motor.
6. SERVICE
!
CAUTION
Shut off the unit. Disconnect and lockout all
electrical power to the dust collector prior
to performing service work.
BEFORE SERVICING, NOTE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. Disconnect electrical power to the unit and
control panel.
2. Wear appropriate protective clothing when
servicing the dust collector.
3. Collected dust may be hazardous. Consult proper
authorities for handling and disposal.
4. Collected dust may be a potential fire hazard. DO
NOT perform grinding or operations involving open
flames unless fire protection measures are in
place. Refer to Section 1 for additional
precautions.
5. Disposal of collected dust must be according to
state and local environmental regulations.
6.1 DUST REMOVAL
Turn off the dust collector and empty the dust
storage drum/container as necessary to prevent dust
from accumulating. Empty the dust storage drum or
hopper when two-thirds full. If dust levels in storage
containers are allowed to accumulate to a high level,
dust may be drawn through the unit and discharged
out the exhaust.
Adjust airflow with volume control damper(s) (not
supplied by UAS) on individual ductwork drops.
5.2 CHECK LIST
Always verify that any hopper slide gates are closed
and that the doors, drum lids and gaskets are in
place. The material being collected will not separate
from the airstream if any leakage occurs around the
base or drum. Failure to adhere to these instructions
may also cause the motor to overload. Verify that
exhaust air remains visibly clean. If an emission
develops, examine drums, drum lids, etc. for
possible leaks.
NOTE: Do not allow the drum or hopper to overfill.
This can cause poor collector performance
and require extensive cleanup if the dust
overflows when the collecting device is
removed.

6.2 SERVICING THE DIRECT DRIVE
MOTOR AND FAN (C190-C3000)
!
WARNING
All electrical work should be done by a qualified
electrician in accordance with local electrical
codes. Disconnect electrical power before
installing or servicing any electrical component.
Periodically inspect the fan blades to ensure proper
fan life. Clean the fan to remove any deposited
material if required.
For motor maintenance, follow the manufacturer’s
directions. If your motor requires servicing under the
motor manufacturer’s warranty, contact an
authorized service center. Motors are greased at the
factory and do not need lubrication at time of
installation. However, regreasing may be necessary
after 1,000 hours of use. As a guideline, grease the
motor every 3,600 hours with high grade ball and
roller bearing grease. Recommended greases are
Shell Dolium R or Chevron SRI#2.
6.3 SERVICING THE BELT DRIVEN FAN AND
MOTOR (C3600-C4400)
C-Series
Cyclone Dust Collector
For motor maintenance, follow the manufacturer’s
directions. If your motor requires servicing under the
motor manufacturer’s warranty, contact an
authorized service center. Motors are greased at the
factory and do not need lubrication at time of
installation. However, regreasing may be necessary
after 1,000 hours of use. As a guideline, grease the
motor every 3,600 hours with high grade ball and
roller bearing grease. Recommended greases are
Shell Dolium R or Chevron SRI#2.
All bearings used are sealed, have been lubricated
at the factory and do not need lubrication at the time
of installation. Subsequent lubrication will be
required and the motor and bearing manufacturer’s
recommendations should be followed. Use the
following instructions as guidelines.
The fan bearings should be relubricated at six week
intervals when utilized for eight-hour workday
operations. The fan bearings should be relubricated
more frequently if operation time is longer than eight
hours per day. When lubricating, be sure to grease
both bearings and use high grade medium weight
ball bearing grease.
It is also recommended that you consult your
lubricant supplier regarding proper greases for both
the motor and fan bearings. Proper grease should be
based on hours of usage and environmental
conditions.
!
WARNING
All electrical work should be done by a
qualified electrician in accordance with
local electrical codes. Disconnect electrical
power before installing or servicing any
electrical component.
Periodically inspect the fan blades to ensure proper
fan life. Clean the fan to remove any deposited
material if required.
If any bearing operates roughly, the unit should be
shut down and the bearing replaced immediately.

6.4 BELT ADJUSTMENT AND
REPLACEMENT
The belts on your new unit have been properly
adjusted at the factory. However, before operating, it
is suggested that belts be checked and re-adjusted if
necessary. Recheck belts several times in the first
days of operation and at least twice a month for the
following six months. Thereafter, belts should be
checked at each greasing. The drive used on this
unit is equipped with banded belts and matching
sheaves which transmit much higher horsepower per
belt than older type belts.
Because much higher tension is required, it is
advisable that the tension be checked with a tester
or springs scale (see Figure 14).
To adjust belts, loosen bolts on motor mounting
plate, adjust tension screws on adjustment bracket in
or out (depending on desired adjustment), then retighten bolts on motor mounting plate.
Do not over tighten. Too much or too little tension will
damage the drive belts and bearings. Check the
tension frequently to be sure the deflection is at the
value determined.
6.5 AFTERFILTERS
The afterfilter bags on the Cyclone Dust Collector
are semi-permanent and will give you long, efficient
service if you perform routine maintenance.
After each day’s operation, shake the filter bag(s)
vigorously to remove the clinging material. If the
afterfilter bag has a zipper-closed bottom, always
empty the bag after shaking. For C-Series afterfilters,
open slide gates before shaking bags so dust can
fall into drums. Close slide gates after cleaning is
completed. Care should be taken to prevent tearing
or puncturing the filter fabric.
When adequate air volume cannot be restored by
shaking the bags, simply remove them and replace
with new filters. Under normal operating conditions,
afterfilter bags should be replaced every two years
for best performance. Be sure to include the model
and serial number of your cyclone dust collector
when ordering replacement afterfilter bags (see
Specification Table in Section 4.4).
To replace worn belts, loosen bolts on motor
mounting plate and remove tension screws so the
old belts can be removed from the sheaves. Remove
the tension bracket and the bolts from the upper
bearing bracket. Rotate the bracket 90° and remove
old belt. Put new belt on and reverse the
disassembly order to re-assemble.
Replacement belts should be ordered and installed
in complete matched sets or one banded belt.
Include old belt number(s) when reordering.

General Rules of Tensioning
1. Ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the
belt will not slip under peak conditions.
2. Check tension frequently during the first 24-48
hours of operation.
3. Over-tensioning shortens belt and bearing life.
4. Keep belts free from foreign material which may
cause slippage.
