Because we have 50Hz here in Belgium the motor will run at 2870 rpm not 3450 like in the USA. To solved the problem I will install an inverter.

The filterbox flatpacked. I decided to make a box so the air will flow from the outside to the inside, as the filters were designed to be used.

Box hanging on the wall next to the cyclone. I chose NOT to use the elbo because it would add extra fricton and backpressure.

This is a special cover for the the filters made by Donaldson to protect it from big(er) chips. I had to find a solution after I had an overflow of my bin.

Here in the final 'use' stage. Now the filters are protect for the next time the bin 'overflows. I checked the current before and after in the same situation and found that it added about 10% of extra current use to the system

Thanks!

Nice documentation job, Erik. Lucky you to have those steel channels both in convenient spots and the right distance apart to fit the motors.
