4.2. Installing the Filter Shroud (XFC 225 and XFC 1000 only)
The cloth filter shroud is mounted to a ring on the underside of the filter chamber stand.
It reduces housekeeping duties around the filter chamber by preventing dust from
becoming airborne when dust and fines are discharged from the filter chamber. The dust
container below the shroud is customer-supplied—the standard 24” (610 mm) clearance
stand is designed for use with a 5-gallon (19 liter) pail, and the optional 38” (960 mm)
clearance stand is designed for use with a 55-gallon (208 liter) drum.
Use the following procedure to install the filter shroud:
1. Insert the filter shroud support wire into the slotted hole in the middle of the cloth
filter shroud. Use supplied hardware to secure.
2. Slip the filter shroud over the retaining ring located on the bottom side of the filter
stand mounting plate. Secure it with the worm clamp provided.
3. Place the dust container below the filter chamber stand and insert the filter shroud.
Secure the filter shroud to the dust container:
For 5-gallon dust containers, the filter shroud will need to be trimmed and fastened to
the top lip of the can with a band clamp.
For 55-gallon drums, do not trim the filter shroud. Secure the drawstring on the
shroud around the drum, making sure the open end of the shroud hangs freely inside
the drum.
4. Make sure the operation of the counterweighted flapper dump valve is not obstructed
in any way by the filter shroud.
Do not obstruct the filter shroud in any way. Empty the dust container before the dust level
obstructs the end of the filter shroud. Failure to follow these warnings may result in
reduced filtering efficiency and contaminants entering the conveying system.
