Dust Collector PM Scheduler
A free dust collector maintenance register: last service, interval, due date and overdue alerts — sorted by urgency, stored in your browser.
Your register stays in this browser (localStorage) — nothing is uploaded.
Add your first dust collector to see the schedule. Sorted by urgency, the next due item is always on top.
Field notes from maintenance practice
Two failure stories dominate collectors: pulse-cleaning quietly dying (diaphragm valves fail one by one, ΔP creeps, airflow at the hoods drops, dust escapes into the plant) and hoppers used as storage (they're funnels, not bins — bridged dust kills airflow and, with combustible dusts, becomes a fuel bed). The monthly line exists to catch both while they're ten-minute fixes.
Trend ΔP at the monthly check: steady creep means cleaning trouble, a sudden drop usually means a broken bag — both readable from one gauge. Run the register on whatever device lives where the work happens — a workshop tablet beats a spreadsheet on someone's laptop, because the person doing the job sees the list.

About Dust Collector PM Scheduler
This scheduler keeps a living register of your dust collectors: add each one with its last service date and interval, and the board computes due dates, sorts by urgency and flags anything overdue or due within 14 days. One tap (✓) marks a service done and restarts that asset's clock. Baghouse/cartridge collectors take monthly checks (ΔP, pulse valves, hopper discharge, airlock) with annual internal inspections; combustible-dust collectors also carry NFPA-driven inspection duties.
How to use Dust Collector PM Scheduler
- 1Add each asset with its last service date and interval — presets reflect the cited standard, and you can override per asset.
- 2The register sorts itself by urgency: overdue first, then due-soon (≤14 days), with a badge per asset.
- 3Tick ✓ when a service is done to reset that asset's clock to today — the whole register persists in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a dust collector be serviced or inspected?+
Baghouse/cartridge collectors take monthly checks (ΔP, pulse valves, hopper discharge, airlock) with annual internal inspections; combustible-dust collectors also carry NFPA-driven inspection duties. Severe duty, harsh environments or regulatory requirements shorten it — and your OEM manual, insurer or local code always takes precedence over the generic default.
My collector handles combustible dust — what extra schedule lines do I need?+
Per NFPA 652/654 your dust hazard analysis sets inspection frequencies for explosion protection systems: vents (panel condition, unobstructed discharge path), isolation valves, deflagration suppression, and grounding/bonding continuity. These are typically monthly visual + annual functional lines, documented. Add the housekeeping schedule for the surrounding area too — fugitive layers above ~1/32 inch over a few percent of a room is the classic citation and the real explosion risk.
Some of my units work much harder than others — same interval for all?+
No — set per-asset intervals: this register stores an interval with each dust collector, so the hard-worked unit can run a shorter clock than the spare. Halving the interval for severe duty (dust, heat, continuous running) is the standard rule of thumb, and the due list re-sorts automatically.
What happens if I clear my browser data?+
The register is stored in localStorage on this device, so clearing site data erases it — note critical dates elsewhere or photograph the list periodically if it has become your master record. The upside of the design: no account, no server, nothing about your facility ever leaves the machine you're standing at.
