Wood Shop Dust Collection Design Notes
Collector Mounting
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 necessary. The collector motor will be mounted on top of a piece of 3/4 plywood that is secured to the top shelf of the rack.
The approximate dimensions of the rack are 44" wide x 33" deep x 8.5' tall. Dimensions of the collector without the inlet tube are approximately 24"x34"x8'. (is this also true for the nano filter?)
Inlet port on dust collector is angled up at 11 degrees.
3 phase motor is 99 pounds.
Ducting
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.
Use at least 5" port on machines for best results.
Clearvue blast gates are sized for PVC pipe.
