Surrounding areas
As mentioned above, the area surrounding the dust collector significantly affects where the dust collector can be installed. Location of utilities such as electricity and compressed (plant) air all affect the dust collector location. Baghouses and cartridge collectors usually require compressed air for cleaning, wet scrubbers often require makeup water and a drain to either local or plant water treatment facilities.
Dust Collector Interference
The dust collector may interfere with surrounding equipment and operations, such as cranes and vehicle traffic. Dust collectors are often tall pieces of equipment requiring large head room when indoors. And the noise and explosion protection could affect personnel space such as break rooms, rally points, foot and vehicle traffic, etc.
So when looking for a space to install your dust collector make sure you take into account all the different factors such as explosion protection, utilities, operations, and workers safety and comfort. And install the dust collector as close as possible when conforming to the above requirements.
