location for extraction hood for wide belt sander

samedi 29 mars 2014

hi all



I have finally bought a min condition second hand SCM wide belt sander and will be getting some serious ducting (lip-lock system) installed, I will be posting installation photos in the future to come,



some background:

The sander is a SCM Uno, there is no air nozzle blower to clean the belt and there is only one extraction hood at the top, it measures 125mm x 85mm, the cross sectional area is equivalent of 125mm dia ducting.



I plan to add air nozzle to clean the belt as I do sand gummy timber from time to time and the workshop is setup for "semi production". the standard blower uses 700 litres/min (no timer) and the sander uses 100l/min for belt tensinoning, the compressor I will be using is capable of 1080l/min.



The ducting will be the smooth lip-lock system, the extractor is a 4kw - 24 socks air filter system (this will be upgraded to an outdoor extraction unit in the near future.)



Plan A:

I wanted to add extra hoods, the main trunk is 250mm diameter, this is about

2 x 150mm

1 x 125mm (this will service the factory hood)



I plan to add the hood in the following positions:

Plan B

2 x 100mm

1 x 150mm

1 x 125mm



I plan to add the hoods in the following positions.

which is better? 2 opening of 100mm on each side of the back or 1 x 150mm at the centre?



the hood at the rear of the sander will be pointing 45deg up in both case.



The shaving/dust will need to travel 3500mm before it reaches the fan
