Unpacking the components

The Cyclone will be delivered to you in several packages. A standard configuration unit will consist of 4

packages. If you have ordered a VFD (Variable Frequency Device) this will be in a separate carton or

may be included in the cyclone body carton. If you have ordered filters these will be in two additional

cartons. You may have ordered accessories such as Blast Gates or Flexible hose. Such items are usually

able to be packed in one of the standard packages to save freight.

Impeller housing package

Impeller housing includes:

➢ top and bottom housing plates

➢ the motor plate

➢ the cyclone mounting plate

Impeller package

Impeller housing includes:

➢ the impeller

➢ the taperlock bearing.

The motor carton

We advise you to move the motor carton with care as it is heavy – 25 kilos.

The VFD carton

This carton contains the Variable Frequency Unit and the manufacturer’s instruction book. This book is a

little daunting as it contains all the information that an electrical/electronic engineer could possibly need

to use the device with any type of application. It also contains details for all the models that the company

make.

If your order includes a VFD, in an envelope at the back of this manual is a Clearvueoz manual

specifically for the VFD when used with one of our cyclones. We have developed this publication to

assist you in programming and using your VFD with your Clearvue Cyclone.

Please remember that the Law in Australia requires that these types of devices ONLY BE INSTALLED

BY LICENSED ELECTRICIANS.

If you have purchased remote controls the instructions for installing these are included in the packaging

with the controls. As these are only wired to the low voltage terminals of the VFD you may complete

this work yourself.

Unpacking tips

We advise you to open the top of the carton and remove the loose items setting them aside for later.

Depending on how tall you are, you may need to lie the carton down before removing the cyclone body.

Remove the cardboard spacer that is fitted around the narrow end of the cyclone. (This is actually the

base of the cyclone but is at the top of the carton since the cyclone is packed upside down for stability.)

Carefully slide the cyclone body from the carton. It is best to leave it upside down for now.

Assembly Instructions

Step 1: Check the proposed placement

Prepare the site where you will be installing your cyclone. If there are any space or placement issues,

please contact our office so we can assist you.

It is a good idea to mark out where the various components will go and make sure there are no

obstructions like wiring or pipes.

Remember that sharp bends in ducting constricts airflow and reduces the efficiency of the unit. Try to

locate the unit, taking into account the following:

➢ Minimise the duct runs.

➢ The possibility of a separate sound insulated space.

➢ Close to suitable power supply.

➢ Easy access to outside if filters not being used.

➢ Strong structure to mount to.

Step 2: Construct the mounting bracket

RH side panel (viewed from outside)

Back panel





Join the vertical and horizontal pieces

Using two #12 x 65mm or longer screws, join the vertical (shorter) pieces to the horizontal (longer)

pieces by driving the screws through the vertical member into the end grain of the horizontal member.

You now have two L shaped brackets. Pencil mark these LH and RH

Attach the two side pieces

Taking the LH bracket glue one side onto the LH side. Reinforce the join using 4 x 40mm screws on the

vertical piece and 6 x 40mm screws on the horizontal piece.

Taking the RH bracket, glue one side onto the RH side. Reinforce the join using 4 x 40mm screws on the

vertical piece and 6 x 40mm screws on the horizontal piece.

Attach the back plate

Take the back plate and line up the LH bracket so the side is flush with the LH edge of the board, and the

top of the vertical piece is flush with the top of the back plate. Glue the two parts together and reinforce

the joint with 6 x 60mm screws from the back of the back plate into the vertical piece. Then do the same

on the right side making sure the side is flush with the right side of the back plate and the top of the

vertical piece is flush with the top.

Mount bracket assembly to wall

The top of the bracket assembly should be at least 2400 above the floor which allows a collection bin

710mm high. If you have a taller bin you will need to increase the height of the bracket assembly by the

height above 710mm.

If you cannot get the required height see addendum A at the back of this manual.

Use at least 8 #12 x 75mm screws and drive these into studs or solid supports. These screws take the

entire weight of the machine – it does not rest on the bin. When the bin is empty and you turn on the

machine it will often lift the bin just off the floor.





Completed mounting bracket





Step 3: Assemble the motor mounting components

Assemble the threaded rods and attach to motor plate

There are four threaded rods which are used to suspend the blower housing below the motor. The

components you need are:

➢ The round motor plate

➢ 4 x threaded rods

➢ 12 x flat washers

➢ 12 x nuts

➢ 4 x rubber grommets

➢ 4 x lock washers

Thread the components onto each rod in this order:

➢ 1 x washer followed by 1 x rubber grommet. The washer should be approximately 100 mm from the

one end of the rod. This end will be the top end when you fit the rod to the motor plate later.

➢ 2 x nuts up to the washer but do not tighten the lock washer yet. These lock nuts can be tightened later

to compress the rubber grommets,

➢ 1 x nut only up about 15mm,

➢ 1 x lock washer up to the nut,

➢ 1 x flat washer up to the lock washer,

➢ Repeat steps a. to e. for the remaining 3 rods.

You should now have 4 rods set out as shown opposite.

Place the motor plate onto a work surface with the T-nuts facing down. Insert the threaded rods into each

of the holes in the motor plate making sure that the flat washer and lock washer remain in place.

Thread the rods in until they are almost flush with the base of the motor plate.





Threaded rods Flat washers





Join the cyclone mounting plate and the motor plate

The cyclone mounting plate is the large MDF board with reinforcing bars on each long side. These

reinforcing bars must face upwards when the cyclone mounting plate and the motor plate are joined.

They will also face the ceiling once the installation is complete.

Keeping the reinforcing bars facing upwards, lower the cyclone mounting plate on to the threaded rods.

Thread the components onto each rod in this order:

➢ 1 x flat washer should rest flat on top of the cyclone mounting plate,

➢ 1 x rubber grommet,

➢ 1 x flat washer,

➢ 2 x nuts up to the washer, tighten the lock nuts so they are snug against the flat washer but do not

cause the grommets to bulge.

NOTE

After the cyclone is hung and fully assembled this pair of nuts will be used to level the unit. The

bottom nuts will be used to compress the bottom rubber grommets.

Prepare the motor

Stand the motor so the shaft is pointing upwards.

Check that the half round key that is the standard fitting for the motor has been removed. This key will

not fit into the bearing on the impeller. If not removed, use a hammer and screwdriver or drift bar to

remove it and discard.

Check that the electric box has been fitted so it will clear the cut out in the cyclone mounting plate. If

not, remove the screws and remove the lid. You will then be able to unscrew the box from the motor and

re-fasten once you have turned it through 900.

Invert the cyclone mounting plate and motor plate assembly and lower over the motor. Install the 4 motor

bolts using a flat washer and a lock washer on each bolt. Tighten the bolts securely.

Step 4: Prepare and mount impeller to the motor

The impeller can be installed onto the motor either before or after the motor assembly has been hung in

the bracket. The following table shows the pros and cons of each method.

When to install: Pros Cons

Before It is easier to join

the impeller to the

motor

Increases the weight of the motor assembly when

hanging on brackets.

We recommend at least 2 people to hang the completed

assembly.

After Hanging the motor

will be easier but

may still need 2

people

It is more difficult to mount the impeller as it is hard

to hold its weight and work from underneath against

gravity.

This document concentrates on mounting the impeller before hanging the motor assembly.

Prepare to use the impeller taperlock

The impeller is mounted onto the motor shaft using a Maska tapered bush. This ensures that the impeller

remains centered and firmly attached.

Opposite is a copy of the MASKA leaflet.

The Maska taperlock is normally in a small box with the impeller. If it is supplied loosely fitted to the

impeller it will need to be removed before proceeding any further.

You will see that there are 6 holes in the taperlock. 3 are plain and three are threaded. The plain holes are

used to hold the two parts of the taperlock together. These are the holes into which the bolts are lightly

fixed when delivered. The other three holes are used if you need to remove the taperlock from the motor

shaft. To do that, take the bolts out of the plain holes and insert them into the threaded holes. Tighten

progressively until the top part detaches from the impeller part.





MASKA leaflet





Position the impeller

➢ Stand the motor, motor plate and cyclone mounting board with the motor shaft facing upwards.

➢ Take the motor shaft key and insert it into the keyway on the shaft. It should be a tight fit.

➢ If the shaft part of the taperlock is attached to the impeller, remove it as described in the “Prepare to

use the impeller” section.

➢ Place the impeller over the motor shaft.

➢ Place the shaft part of the taperlock over the motor shaft and align the plain holes in the taperlock with

the threaded holes in the impeller part of the taperlock.

➢ Insert the 3 bolts through the larger holes in the shaft part into the threaded holes in the impeller part.

➢ Lift the impeller so that the top of the taperlock is flush with the tip of the motor shaft.

➢ Tighten the bolts in a circular fashion round the taperlock. Continue until they are all tight.

As you tighten, you will find that the impeller is drawn towards the motor. When you get back to

the first bolt, it will be loose until you have been round the circle sufficient times.

When completely tight, there should be at least a 7mm gap between the impeller and the

mounting plate bolt head. If there is not, loosen the bolts and re-start with the top of the taperlock

just past the tip of the shaft. The required torque is 5 ft/lbs – 2.27 kg/f.

➢ Tighten the setscrew against the shaft key.

Step 5: Assemble the impeller assembly

The assembly is supplied flat packed and consists of a bottom plate, a top plate a window strip and

fastenings. The window strip is packed around the cyclone in the cyclone carton. Do not remove the

protective wrapper until you are ready to use it.

The base plate has one side which has a slot cut into it and one plain side. The top plate has one side with

a slot cut into it and one side (the top face) which has recesses for the cyclone mounting plate fasteners.

Before starting assembly take the window strip and check that there are two 6.5mm holes 29cm from the

straight end of the window strip. If not, drill these before using the strip.

The two plates are fastened together using the supplied long bolts and alloy spacer tubes. Be sure to

thread onto each bolt a locking washer and then a flat washer before inserting the bolt through the top

plate. Then insert the bolt through the spacer tube before threading into the captive nut in the base plate.

The window strip is inserted into the groove on the top and bottom plates before the bolts are tightened.

It may be easier to lay the base plate down flat and insert the window strip and then balance the top plate

on top. Insert each bolt until just threaded and then ease the window strip into the slot on the top plate.

Some people have found that it is easier to stand the two plates on their edge to thread the bolts and

insert the window strip.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BOLTS.

Once the top and bottom plate are fastened together and the window strip seated in the grooves, take the

white sound bar and fasten it inside the strip using the two holes and two small screws.

Lie the assembled housing flat on its base plate and loosely fit the three cyclone plate fastening bars

using the 4cm bolts supplied. These plates should be mounted with the rebate at the bottom. Leave the

rib out of the locating indent at this stage. Once the plate is mounted they can be slid forward until the rib

drops into the indent and tighten the bolts.

Step 6: Hang the motor and impeller assembly

For this part of the assembly process you will almost certainly need assistance!

Turn the motor and impeller assembly over so that the impeller faces downwards. Lift the assembly and

slide the cyclone mounting board onto the wall bracket you fastened earlier.

Before you operate the cyclone, you will need to fasten the cyclone mounting board to the brackets. Do

not do this yet as some minor adjustment may be needed as you fit the rest of the cyclone parts.

Step 6a: Assemble and fix the impeller housing if no filters

Follow these instructions if you are not using filters otherwise ignore this section and go to:

‘Step 6b Assemble and fix the impeller housing if using filters’

Attach the straight transition to the Impeller Housing

Place the square end of the straight transition over the opening and line up the bolt holes.

Place a flat washer on a bolt and then insert from the inside so that the bolt head remains inside and the

nut will go on the outside.

Thread onto the bolt a flat washer followed by a lock washer then a nut and tighten gently. Repeat the

process for the other three bolts.

Apply silicone sealant to all 4 sides of the transition.

It is important to completely seal these joints – if not, fine dust may escape and pollute your workplace

before being exhausted outside. The air being exhausted is moving very fast.

Proceed now to page 28 - Step 7: Attach the impeller housing to the cyclone body.

Step 6b: Assemble and fix the impeller housing if using filters

Assemble right angle transition

The transition is supplied as a flat pack consisting of:

➢ 1 x round base plate

➢ 2 x grooved side pieces

➢ 1 x short clear window panel

➢ 1 x longer clear window panel.

Insert the clear panels into the grooves on the two side pieces.

Insert the assembly you have just created into the slot in the round base plate.

Drill 4 small pilot holes into the round base plate to line up with the base of the two side pieces. Attach

the assembly to the base plate using the four screws provided. Take care not to split the side pieces.

Apply silicone sealant to the junction of the clear panels and the side pieces; also to the junction of the

side pieces, and the round base plate. It is important to completely seal these joints – if not, fine dust

may escape and pollute your workplace before reaching the filters. The air being exhausted is moving

very fast.

Attach the transition to the impeller housing

Important Do not remove the white piece of plastic located in the impeller housing. This piece operates

as a sound damper as the blades pass by the opening of the impeller housing.

Loosen the front 4 bolts on the impeller housing and ease it slightly open.

Slip the transition into the impeller housing.

Ensure the transition is square and level where it meets the housing, and if necessary, drill through the

holes in the side pieces.

Place a flat washer on a bolt and then insert from the inside so that the bolt head remains inside and the

nut will go on the outside. It is fiddly to fit the bolt from inside but causes less turbulence and

interruption to airflow.

Thread onto the bolt a flat washer followed by a lock washer then a nut and tighten gently. Repeat the

process for the other three bolts.

Apply silicone sealant to all 4 sides of the transition.

It is important to completely seal these joints – if not, fine dust may escape and pollute your workplace

before being exhausted through the filters. The air being exhausted is moving very fast.

Instructions for assembling and attaching the filters is dealt with later in this manual at Step 9 onwards.

Please continue with Steps 7 and 8.









Step 7: Attach the impeller housing to the cyclone body

Preparation

You need to decide where the intake and outlet transitions should face. You can rotate the impeller

housing to achieve the desired outlet position. You can orientate the cyclone body to set the intake

transition at the required position.

Before progressing further, you will need to prepare a temporary support for the cyclone body. We

recommend that you use a bin or strong box to stabilise the body whilst you fix the housing to it. You

will then need a second temporary support while you join the impeller housing to the motor assembly. It

is often possible to create this by placing a board over the bin you have already used.

If you want to seal all the seams in the impeller housing it is easier to do this now using silicone sealer.

Check the desired position of the exhaust transition.

Place the cyclone body into the temporary support to stabilise it while fixing the impeller housing.

Check where the inlet transition needs to face to make connecting ducting easy and as smooth as

possible.

Attaching impeller housing

Attach the cyclone body to the impeller housing using the 6 x 1&5/8” screws provided. DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS or you could crack the cyclone body.

Remove the cyclone body with the impeller housing attached and support it under the hanging motor and

impeller assembly. Using packing pieces, lift the cyclone body until the impeller is in place inside the

impeller housing.

Slide the cyclone plate fastening bars over the plate and loosely tighten them. At this stage, leave them

slightly loose in case you need to move the unit whilst completing the installation. Note: the motor plate

may not sit flush with the top of the impeller housing - this is normal.

Use a spirit level to make sure that the cyclone is level. Adjust the nuts on the threaded rods to level if

necessary.









Step 8 Install the intake transition

It may be easier to rotate the cyclone body for better access. Slide the intake transition into the hole in

the cyclone body. Attach the transition with the 4 #6 x 3/8” screws provided. Seal the joins of the

transition with silicone sealant.

Rotate the cyclone body into its permanent position and firmly tighten the cyclone plate fastening bars on

the top of the impeller housing.

Re-check the cyclone body is level and re-adjust if needed.

Secure the cyclone mounting board into the wall bracket using either 35 mm screws or suitable bolts.

Pre-drill the holes to avoid any spitting.









Step 9: Assemble filters

Stack one filter on top of the other.

Apply a thin bead of silicone on the outside of the join between the two filters. Alternatively you can

apply a strip of duct tape around the join. This makes it easier to remove filters if needed.

Take the band clamp supplied and assemble if needed. The two flanges are held together with a bolt.

Place a flat washer on the bolt and insert it through the flanges.

On the outside of the second flange thread a flat washer then a lock washer. Loosely fit the wing nut

supplied.

Slide the band clamp to cover the join in the two filters and tighten lightly using the wing nut.

Step 10: Clean out box

If you are using filters, you need a clean out box at the bottom of the filter stack. This enables you to

collect any small quantities of dust which may come from the filters when they are cleaned.

To clean the filters gently vibrate the filter stack. This should not be necessary very often and will

depend on the type of work you do and how often you use the system.

Assemble Clearvueoz Clean Out Box

The box is supplied as a flat pack comprising a top and bottom plate a clear window strip and an outlet

for cleaning together with fastenings.

Lay the base plate (the one with a hole) flat and Insert the outlet assembly into the slot provided. Insert

window strip into the slot in the base plate and the slots in the outlet panel. Add the top plate ensuring

that the window strip seats into the slot on the underside. Insert the three threaded rods into the holes

adding nuts and washers to the top. These rods provide the adjustment to ensure the filters fit between

the box and the outlet transition from the cyclone. Thread the rubber feet onto the bottom of the rods and

fasten with a flat washer, locking washer and nut.

Once the desired height is set tighten the nuts on the top of the box.

Clearvueoz offer a custom made clean out box as an accessory. Alternatively, you can make your own.

There are only a few requirements for the clean out box:

➢ It should be at least 36 cm square or round.

➢ It must be airtight except through the filter inlet.

➢ It needs a sealed opening to allow the contents to be extracted. We recommend a flange with lid

suitable to connect a vacuum hose to.

The height can be determined by standing your filter stack under the transition and measuring the gap.

This will then be the desired height for the box. Alternately you can insert packing under a shorter box.

An example of an easy clean out

box you could make





Step 11: Connect filter stack to cyclone

Slide the filter stack with the clean out box attached under the filter transition. The assembly should be a

snug fit. If there is a gap, use packing pieces under the clean out box to close the gap.

Drill pilot holes in the MDF plate at the base of the transition. Attach the filter stack using 35mm #6

sheet metal screws.

Either cover the join with a good quality duct tape or apply a thin bead of silicone sealant around the

join.

The photograph opposite shows an older filter style with a square joining plate. Your filter stack should

look like the filter stack on the previous page.









Step 12: Install collection bin

There are many possible alternatives which you can use to act as a collection bin.

There is only one golden rule – It must be airtight!

Other considerations include:

➢ Weight of the finished item particularly when full.

➢ Ease of moving and emptying.

➢ It must be sufficiently rigid to not collapse under the suction.

➢ Maybe the ability to know when it is full or getting full.

Alternatives include:

➢ A galvanised rubbish bin – you will need to modify the lid.

➢ A heavy duty plastic bin – you will need to modify the lid.

➢ A wheelie bin – You will need to make a new lid and check the bin is airtight.

➢ A steel barrel eg 44gal drum – you will need to modify the lid.

➢ A cardboard drum – You will need to modify the lid.

➢ Construct your own design of box – beware you do not make it too heavy to move easily or empty.









Step 13 Modify or make a lid

Metal lids

The most common situation where you will need to modify a metal lid is where you are using a metal

rubbish bin or a steel drum. You need to create a hole 150mm in diameter. This hole will normally be in

the centre of the bin but if you need to offset it due to location challenges this is not a problem.

There are 3 simple ways to fix the short hose from the bottom of the Cyclone body to the lid.

➢ Cut a 150mm diameter hole in the lid thus removing the handle and silicone seal the bottom of the

hose. This is simple but may not be durable.

➢ Make tabs and slide the hose over the tabs and silicone

➢ Using a drawing compass or a suitable sized template, draw a circle 150mm in diameter in the location

where you want the hole. (drawing-compass is set to 75mm radius)

➢ Inside that circle, use the same centre but only120mm in diameter. (drawing-compass set to 60mm

radius)

➢ Using your tool of choice eg: tin snips, jigsaw or multi-purpose cutter, cut out the smaller circle

➢ Make a series of cuts (between 15 and 20 works best) from the edge of the hole you have created

straight out as far as the outer marked circle

➢ Using pliers, bend the tabs you have created upwards to form support for the inside of the hose

➢ Place the hose provided over the tabs and seal with silicone generously applied both inside and outside

the lid

➢ Use a premade flange fitted through a suitable size hole

➢ Cover the base plate of the flange with silicone and push firmly through the hole.

➢ Slide hose over the flange and silicone.

In every case you need to apply a dust sealing tape around the perimeter of the lid to sit between the lid

and the bin sides.

These strategies can be used with other bin materials.
