Introduction
General The Martin® Air Cleaner is an automatic, reverse air dust filter designed to
remove dust from the air in conveyor transfer points, silo vents, bucket
elevators, and screens. The unit is made up of a group of filter elements
mounted on a sealed frame. The elements are fitted side-by-side in an
individual sealing arrangement that effectively separates the dirty (inlet) side
of the filter from the clean (outlet) side. The elements are always removed for
maintenance from the clean side of the filter.
This manual provides instructions for locating and installing the Martin® Air
Cleaner at a conveyor transfer point or silo. For instructions on installing units
on bucket elevators or screens, call Martin Engineering or a representative.
Location To ensure the air cleaner’s maximum effectiveness, make sure the transfer
requirements for point is properly sealed and designed with dust control in mind, as follows:
transfer point • Chute length: For standard materials or belt speeds up to 250 fpm
installations (1.3 m/s), the transfer point chute length should equal 2 ft per 100 fpm
(210 mm per 0.5 m/s) of belt speed. For very dusty materials or belt speeds
of 300 fpm (1.5 m/s) and higher, the chute length should equal 3 ft per
100 fpm (914 mm per 0.5 m/s) of belt speed. When in doubt, make the chute
longer.
• Chute height: For standard materials or belt speeds up to 250 fpm
(1.3 m/s), the chute wall should be at least 12 in. (305 mm) high. For very
dusty materials or belt speeds of 300 fpm (1.5 m/s) and higher, it should be
at least 24 in. (610 mm) high.
• Distance from load zone: Locate air cleaner as far from actual load zone as
possible, and 1/3 of the chute length back from the chute exit point.
For best results, install a dust curtain at the exit of the chute. For information
on transfer point wear liners and sealing systems, call Martin Engineering or a
representative.
Safety All safety rules defined in the above documents and all owner/employer safety
rules must be strictly followed when working on this equipment.
Materials required In addition to standard hand tools, a hoist is required to install this equipment.
Before Installation
IMPORTANT
The delivery service is responsible for damage occurring in
transit. Martin Engineering CANNOT enter claims for
damages. Contact your transportation agent for more
information.
! WARNING
Before installing equipment, turn off and lock out/tag out
energy source to conveyor and conveyor accessories.
4. Turn off and lock out/tag out energy source according to ANSI standards
(see “References”).
! WARNING
If equipment will be installed in an enclosed area, gas level or
dust content must be tested before using a cutting torch or
welding. Using a cutting torch or welding in an area with gas
or dust may cause an explosion.
5. If using a cutting torch or welding, test atmosphere for gas level or dust
content. Cover conveyor belt with fire retardant cover.
NOTE
If you are unsure where to locate the air cleaner in relation to
your conveyor system, contact Martin Engineering or a
representative.
! WARNING
®
The Martin Air Cleaner is heavy and the use of a hoist or
crane is highly recommended when lifting. See Figure 1 for
weight specifications. Lift only from supplied lifting lugs to
prevent damaging assembly. Lift before attaching blower.
IMPORTANT
Make sure conveyor belt structure and chutework will
support air cleaner. See Figure 1 for weight specifications.

! WARNING
All electrical work must be done to National Electrical Code
(NEC) standards. See “References.”
! DANGER
For explosion-proof air cleaner units, properly ground unit to
earth by connecting a ground wire to ground lug on unit.
Failure to properly ground the unit can result in a static
electricity explosion, damage to equipment, and severe injury
or death.
1. For explosion-proof units, properly connect a ground wire to the unit’s
ground lug (located on the unit next to the symbol shown) to prevent static
electricity buildup. Use the brass screw provided to connect the ground
wire to the unit.
2. Check the grounding of each filter cartridge with volt/ohm meter:
a. Touch one probe to the filter media.
b. Touch other probe to grounding lug on base.
c. All resistance measurements must be less than 10 ohms. If greater than
10 ohms inspect grounding strap to ensure contact with filter media.
3. Check grounding through motor and solenoid enclosure.
! WARNING
Before making any connections, lock out/tag out electrical
supply to control system according to ANSI standards (see
“References”).
4. Connect blower motor to power supply:
a. Determine power requirements for motor.
b. Install a motor starter (not included) per local requirements and codes.
c. Interlock motor and timer enclosure and control per plant PLC.
! CAUTION
Installing timer Do not mount enclosure in area subject to shock, vibration,
enclosure temperatures exceeding 130°F (55°C), or explosion. Damage
to control system circuitry could result.
1. Determine location for timer enclosure.
2. Mount onto wall with fasteners.
3. Drill conduit holes in enclosure for solenoid and power wires. Use care
not to damage internal components. Drill in most weather-proof location
available on enclosure.

100 ms. Adjusting “TIME ON” setting can shorten filter life.
11. Verify “TIME ON” is set to 100 ms.
12. Route power wire (120VAC 60Hz) into timer enclosure.
13. Connect ground wire to ground terminal. Connect neutral wire to terminal
labeled L2. Connect phase wire to terminal labeled L1.
14. Reinstall timer enclosure cover.
Operation
IMPORTANT
Read entire section before beginning work.
! WARNING
Air cleaner may produce loud noise when mounted on
structure. See OSHA 1910.95 for guidelines. If required, wear
ear protection to avoid impairment or loss of hearing.
1. If air cleaner produces loud noise according to OSHA 1910.95, wear ear
protection.
! WARNING
Failure to remove tools from installation area and conveyor
belt before turning on energy source can cause serious injury
to personnel and damage to belt.
2. Remove all tools and fire retardant cover from installation area and
conveyor belt.
! DANGER
Do not touch or go near conveyor belt or conveyor accessories
when conveyor belt is running. Body or clothing can get
caught and pull body into conveyor belt, causing severe injury
or death.
3. Make sure filter retention brackets are properly tightened to achieve
proper filter seal.
4. Close all access doors.
5. Turn power ON at the source.
6. Start blower fan for one second, then stop.
7. Check motor and fan for the correct rotation by referencing the rotation
sticker located on the motor mounting plate. Check for smooth operations
of fan wheel and motor. If motor is not rotating in correct direction, lock
out/tag out energy source and reverse rotation.
8. Ensure damper is set in completely closed position.
9. Turn the blower fan ON.
10. Open damper until the pressure gauge on the side of the collector matches
the pressure readings in Table I.
