Wood Shop Dust Collection Design Notes

Design Guidelines for Clearview Dust Collector

Install the collector in the pallet rack behind the Shopbot. This will make the mounting of the motor easy and provide a framework for a sound enclosure, if it is necessary. The approximate dimensions of the rack are 44" wide x 33" deep x 9' tall.

Inlet port on dust collector is angled up at 11 degrees.

To reduce turbulence in the collector, first 5 feet should be straight with no fittings.

Put down drop blast gates as close to the main duct as possible.

Use SRD-35 or ASTN D3034 PVC or 24 gauge spiral duct or thicker.

Two 45 degree elbows has lower resistance than a single 90. Putting a short piece of straight pipe between the 45s is best.

3 phase motor is 99 pounds.

Use at least 5" port on machines for best results.

Clearvue blast gates are sized for PVC pipe.
