Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE such as gloves, goggles, and masks to prevent exposure to chemicals and debris.
Drainage
Shut off water: Disconnect the water supply to the dust collector.
Drain the dust collector: Remove any remaining liquid from the dust collector. This may require opening the drain valve or using a pump.
Removing Debris
Inspect Internal Components: Open the access ports and inspect for accumulated debris, sludge or solids.
Manual Cleaning: Use a brush or vacuum to remove any buildup, paying special attention to nozzles, packings, and collection tanks.
Cleaning internal surfaces
Use a cleaning solution: Apply a suitable cleaning solution (e.g. mild detergent or specialist dust collector cleaner) to internal surfaces.
Scrubbing: Scrub the surfaces with a brush or rag to ensure that all residues are removed.
Rinsing system
Rinse with water: After brushing, flush the system with water to remove any residual cleaning solution and debris.
Check for blockages: Make sure there are no blockages in the system.
Inspection and Maintenance
Check Components: Check pumps, nozzles, and other components for wear or damage.
Replace components as necessary: If any components are found to be worn or damaged, replace them before reassembling the dust collector.
Reassembly and Testing
Reassemble the dust collector: Place all access ports and components safely back in place.
Reconnect the water supply: Turn on the water supply.
Perform a test run: Start the dust collector and observe its operation, checking for leaks or unusual noises.
Record the cleaning process
Maintain Records: Keep records of the cleaning process and observations for future reference and compliance use.
Additional Tips
Cleaning Frequency: Establish a regular cleaning schedule based on the usage of the dust collector and the type of contaminants being handled.
Follow Manufacturer's Guidelines: Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific cleaning instructions and recommendations.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your wet dust collector stays in top working order and continues to effectively control emissions.
