Diversitech’s Typhoon WX-5000 Wet Dust Collector prevents the risk of workplace fire or explosion by safely capturing and neutralizing harmful combustible dusts. Capable of extracting explosive metal dust and other combustibles from process air, the Typhoon WX-5000 is designed specifically for the removal of volatile materials commonly found in machine shops, metal fabrication facilities, wood shops, and other industrial settings. The Typhoon WX-5000 uses a 10HP blower to draw in airborne contaminants and filter them through Diversitech’s proprietary “water-tree” baffle design. Once inside the collector, the particles bond with suspended water droplets where they then drain down to the bottom of the collector for safe removal. With the ability to capture airborne particulate matter as small as 3 micron, the Typhoon WX-5000 guarantees cleaner air for your industrial setting.
This wet dust collector can collect combustible dust from your facility’s ambient air or it can be ducted directly into an industrial machine, such as a wide belt sander, to extract combustible dust directly from the source. All of Diversitech’s wet dust collectors are constructed from durable stainless steel with extreme care and attention to detail, guaranteeing that your equipment will provide your space with years of dependable dust collection service.

Designate a location for the unit near the operator that is sufficiently close to a grounded power source.
Before you use your unit, you’ll want to perform a function test to verify it’s in working order.
Confirm correct Voltage and Amperes.
Turn the power switch to “On” for a few seconds and check that the motor rotation is correct.
IMPORTANT: Look down the back of the motor and check that the motor fan turns in direction of arrow.
Listen closely to the motor and suction sound of the unit. Are they within the expected noise limits?
Place hand on top of the unit and feel for any unexpected vibration. Place your hand in front of the intake hood/surface to confirm the expected levels of suction.
Depending on application, your Typhoon Wet Dust Collector may require daily maintenance. When you see several inches of dust build up inside the wet collector water tank, remove the material as soon as possible.
Cleaning Instructions
Open the knobs or latches on the two front panels of the wet dust collector.
Inspect the mist eliminator filters inside the unit for holes or dust accumulation, replace the media if torn or dirty.
The filter frame must be replaced so that the cage side is facing upwards to prevent the media from being sucked out of the frame.
Inspect the HEPA after filters and replace if the filters are saturated.
Clean the inside of the unit completely from top to bottom, using wire brush or scraper and a pressure washer to remove all accumulated sludge and debris.
TIP: Remove the inlet duct to clean the inside of the back of the collector and inspect the inlet ductwork for dust accumulation.
Drain the dirty water using the optional WV-55 Sludge-Drain the dirty water using the optional WV Sludge Vacuum to separate the metal fines from the water, remove sludge on the bottom of the tank and skim the residual material floating on the water surfaceacuum to separate the metal fines from the water, remove sludge on the bottom of the tank and skim the residual material floating on the water surface.
IMPORTANT:
All debris must be stored in a ventilated metal drum to prevent hydrogen gas buildup.
If the collector has the optional strainer system, remove the basket and dump the accumulated dust, clean out the basket and replace it. (Refer to Appendix 5 in owner’s manual.)
Dust needs to be disposed of according to local regulations.
Ultra-Sound Cleaning
Remove the lid of the ultrasound sensor box.
Clean the sensor carefully removing any dust or debris.
Clean the dust and debris from the bottom of the sensor box.
Reset the Current Level (Ultrasonic Sensor)
