I have a (used) Oneida 7.5 HP belt-driven dust collector fan that I would like to mount verticaly above the cyclone (horizontal space considerations).
The ceiling height is 16 feet so headroom is no problem. The blower assembly and cyclone would be supported by a steel tubing frame bolted to the wall.
The blower itself is on a shaft with two pillow blocks.
The motor is a brand new Baldor 7.5 3ph.
Is there any reason that I can't stand this motor and belt-driven blower up on end?
(like a direct-drive cyclone)
Are most modern motors and pillow blocks all-position?
Also, I need to build an offset connector to raise my 3- 18 x 62" cartridge filters about 22" closer to the ceiling (as shown below). Any suggestions as to how this plenum should be shaped?
Thanks,
Rob
