Health and Safety

Recommendations

The Information Contained In This Section

Can Help Prevent Serious Personal Injury.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY

BEFORE OPERATING OR SERVICING THIS

EQUIPMENT.

T his section outlines s ome of the health and safety issues that must be acknowledged when operating or servicing your SASE industrial vacuum cleaning system.

It is important that plant operators are made aware of the responsibility incumbent on them to take all necessary precautions to ensure their health and safety, and that plant authorities implement the procedures necessary toward this end.

We strongly advise that you, the customer, add to, and tailor, these safety recommendations to suit your own particular working and operating environment.

Explosive Dust

The operators of this equipment must always be aware of the physical and chemical properties of the dust particles being collected. A surprising number of dusts are flammable or prone to explosion when mixed with air as we find with a filter receiver application.

Materials or processes presenting such hazards MUST be identified by the customer.

Company speci c lockout and safety procedures should be inserted in this section.

The customer must also be alert to any changes in the dust material or process.

If a new process is introduced after the installation of the vacuum system which changes the composition, quantity, or most especially the chemical type of material being introduced into the vacuum system, this may greatly increase the chance of explosion and fire.

If your process is to be changed, or if you have any concerns, we suggest you contact us to see how we can assist you to ensure that the operation of your

SASE industrial vacuum cleaning system is as safe as possible.

Isolate Electrical Before Maintenance

DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY MAINTENANCE WORK UNTIL

ALL ELECTRICAL GEAR HAS BEEN ISOLATED.

Isolate all electrical before removing any guards, covers or accessories before beginning any maintenance or repair work.

Always lock out the main system blower disconnect before opening any inspection door on any separator or filter receiver.

Before re-connecting the electrical supply, ensure that all guards, covers and accessories are correctly replaced.

Implement Measures to Handle Respirable

Dust

Operators must be fitted with appropriate respirators and must wear protective clothing if handling dust that may be irritating or even toxic.

We recommend that the MSDS’s for each of the dusts to be handled by the vacuum system be included in this manual, and that specific measures to handle problem materials be clearly identified in those sections of this manual where the operator is exposed to these dusts; i.e. filter bag replacement, etc.

Use Suitable Electrical Warning Notices

Do NOT leave electrical gear live and unattended without a suitable warning notice.

Distinctive warning notices must be provided for posting in a conspicuous position to any piece of electrical equipment or machinery on which maintenance is being carried out, and which, for any reason whatsoever, is liable to be left unattended while in a live condition.

Use CAUTION When Using the Hoses

SASE vacuum systems use blowers that develop very high vacuum conditions which can be dangerous if caution is not observed.

DO NOT PUT THE END OF THE HOSE AGAINST YOUR

SKIN OR CLOTHES OR THOSE OF OTHERS!

Remove the hose from the inlet valve to dislodge materials that plug the end of tools.

Vacuum Seal Troubleshooting

This equipment is designed for full time operation under the most severe conditions; however, proper maintenance procedures must be observed.

Please read and follow the instructions on the following pages to ensure proper operation of each of the components of your system.

The Filtration System

The SASE BULL 300 Series of vacuum systems is designed to handle super-fine powders, so the filtration sub-system is its “heart” and must be maintained properly. The unit is equipped with fourteen (14) inverted bag type tubular filters which collect the fine dust particles on the filter’s inside surfaces during operation.

Before commissioning, remove top motor housing and check to ensure all bags are firmly secured to the lower bag plate. The top of the bags are attached to the top of the filter housing by use of bolts and nuts; and the bags must not be loose or out of place.

Operators must be out tted with appropriate respirators and must wear protective clothing if handling dust that may be irritating or toxic.

NOTE: A loose or unsecured bag will allow product to pass through the lter separator and will plug t he in-line lter.

The lter bags should be shaken at least daily , preferably after each use. To shake filter bags, simply shut off the vacuum and shake the filter assembly arm swiftly back and forth. This rapid movement will dislodge particles on the inside of the filter bag surfaces and drop them into the dust can.

NOTE: The unit must be OFF in order to shake the lters.

If the filters are to be replaced, please replace them ALL at once, or they will be a constant source of frustration.

Filter Bag Maintenance

The following is a recommended program of preventative maintenance:

1.

Check that the filters are seated properly and that they do not appear to be leaking WEEKLY. There should be NO appreciable or visible dust inside the ter housing.

2.

3.

4.

Replace ALL the filters if wear points or holes are noticed.

If the secondary filter cartridge becomes plugged, check for holes or leakage in the primary filter bags, or upgrade the primary filter material to a more efficient type.

Replace the secondary filter cartridge when it becomes dirty.

5.

DO NOT WASH filters.

This will destroy the PTFE coating and cause them to ‘blind’; which will cause the motor to overheat and fail.

Removing Filter Bags

Access the lters by removing the vacuum producer section. To change the filter bags, unbolt each bag from on the filter shaker assembly inside the tank at the top.

Squeeze the spring cuff at the bottom of the bag compressing the snap ring into a “U” shape, and remove from the bag plate hole.

The most common installation mistake is to release the cu lower than it should be. The groove in the bag cu matches the hole size exactly.

Installing New Filter Bags

Grasp the spring cuff at the bottom of the bag and compress into a “U” shape.

Insert into the proper hole in the bag plate, and release the bag bottom, assuring the “groove” in the bag c is centered in the bag plate hole .

Re-bolt to fasten the filters onto the filter shaker assembly.

After installing all the lter s, check the installation from below; all the lters should be neatly and evenly seated.

WARNING: Failure to assure proper seating of the bag in the bag plate will allow material leakage.

Inline cartridge element re -order instructions.

The Inline Filter

The inline lter supplied with this unit will help prevent damage to the exhauster in case of failure of a primary filter bags.

Should the air ow of the BULL 300 become reduced, check that the inline lter has not become blinded by dust, by removing the vacuum motor housing .

In this situation, inspect the bags for damage, or to see if they have become loose. Properly clean the bags if no damage is seen.

Remove the inline filter, and clean by back flushing with compressed air (NOT recommended), or replace the filter.

Restart the unit. If after a short period of time, the inline filter becomes plugged or blinded, replace the filter bags and the inline filter element.

PLEASE NOTE!

The vacuum producer requires unrestricted air flow!

Running the BULL 300 “deadheaded” for more than a few minutes will overheat the vacuum producer and void the warranty .

THIS UNIT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CONNECTION TO A

CENTRAL VACUUM PIPING NETWORK.

Please refer to that section for vacuum producer troubleshooting and maintenance instructions.

The following sub-sections describe typical maintenance requirements and the problems that can occur.

The Dust Can

The dust can supplied with this unit is operated by use of two over-center latches.

For proper operation, the dust can must be properly sealed with the filter housing. When in the latched up position, ensure that the pin of the over-center latch matches the hooks on the dust can.

Do not over-tighten the latches! Only a moderate pressure is required to form an airtight seal.

NOTE: Dispose of waste material in accordance with local environmental codes.

Vacuum Seals

If you experience a “lack of suction”, almost certainly there is a leak in a seal somewhere in the system. The following is a short list of common fail points:

1.

Check all gasket seals . If air is leaking in through these seals, dust will normally collect on the inside surface of the housing showing the exact location of the leak. Sometimes, running your hands around the door frame will allow you to locate the leak. Either way, replace the seals as required.

2.

Especially check the dust can gaskets. If they are torn or worn, please replace them.

3.

DO NOT over-tighten the lifting mechanism. Almost certainly that will cause more problems than it fixes. The dust can flange need only depress the gasket. The seal will form when the system is turned on.

Over-tightening the lifting mechanism will only lead to premature wear of the gasket and will cause constant problems.

4.

Check the hoses for cracks and leaks. A hose covered in duct tape is a sure indicator that the hoses should be replaced .
