Donaldson Dust Collector TG 8

Warning: Ensure to turn off the power supply before starting the procedure

Bolts from the top back roof panel removed

HEPA mounting frame positioned on top of the clean-air outlet

Front flange holes in the roof panel marked and match-drilled using a 0.266-in diameter drill bit

1/4-in diameter rope-type sealant applied toward the inside of the bolt pattern

HEPA mounting frame positioned on the top panel aligning the bolt patterns

Bolted in place using the hardware supplied and the hardware removed in Step 2

HEPA filter positioned on mounting frame and secured with latches

FIRST: Lock out all electrical feeds to the TG!

1. Remove lower panel door to gain access to the powerpack

2. Open control panel door to gain access to the inlet cone bolt heads

3. Remove wiring to electric motor

4. Loosen the electric motor foot attachment hardware (bolts, nuts)

5. Position a forklift tine under the motor

⚠ WARNING: Use proper safety and protective equipment when removing contaminants and filters. Dirty filters may be heavier than they appear. Use care when removing filters to avoid personal injury.

⚠ CAUTION: Do not climb on door, door frame, retention parts, or filter components. Use care when servicing the filters as there are rotating parts.

Turn power off to collector and bleed manifold pressure to 0 psi.

Open access door by turning handles counterclockwise and swinging door fully open.

Rotate each assembly counterclockwise to decompress filters.

Detach right-side arms and rotate them up, then reinstall locking pins to hold arms in place.

Detach left-side arms and let them rotate down and out of the way.

Open cradles fully to access filters.

1. Monitor the physical condition of the collector and repair or replace any damaged components.

- Routine inspections will minimize downtime and maintain optimum collector performance.

- Periodically check the compressed air components and replace compressed air filters.

- Drain moisture following the manufacturer’s instructions. With the compressed air supply ON, check the cleaning valves, solenoid valves, and tubing for leaks. Replace as necessary.

2. Monitor pressure drop across filters.

- Abnormal changes in pressure drop indicate a change in operating conditions and possibly a fault to be corrected.

- For example, prolonged lack of compressed air will cause an excess build-up of dust on the filters resulting in increased pressure drop.

- Cleaning off-line with no flow usually restores the filters to normal pressure drop.

Use proper safety and protective equipment when emptying dust container

Dust containers may be heavier than they appear

Use care when removing dust container to avoid personal injury

To reduce the risk of damage from fires or explosions, combustible dust should not be stored in the collector

Remove accumulated dust from the collector at least once per day and at more frequent intervals if conditions warrant

Use extreme caution when removing combustible materials. Avoid creating dust clouds and ensure no materials are burning prior to servicing the dust container
