Design Considerations
Regardless of which option you choose, you will need to answer a few questions about your shop, as well as
provide a complete layout of your space.
When drafting the layout of your space, the following are some recommendations to consider:
- Your cyclone should be located in a place where ducting will be minimized.
- Machines with large ports, multiple ports or produce a high volume of dust should be placed closest to
the cyclone. - Straight lines are better than turns. Placing machines along a wall or in a line help make your dust
collector work with the ducting more efficiently. - We recommend a minimum of 5 feet of straight pipe going into the dust collector, if possible.
- Examine any possible obstacles to ducting paths when placing machines in your shop.
- Consider the height of your ductwork. Do you want it above lighting, along the ceiling, above windows,
below the floor, etc.? Make sure your cyclone system is placed to accommodate the desired height. - It is important that your machines are located where they will be when your shop is functioning.
Once we receive your completed form and shop layout, we will either draft your plan in-house or forward it on to our ducting provider for completion, depending on which option you choose.
General ducting plans take on average 3-5 days to complete. Detailed ducting plans take on average 1-2 weeks to complete. Please note timeframes are estimates only and may change based on work in-house.
