GENERAL INFORMATION
This information is intended ONLY to indicate the
general installation parameters of this product
and, where applicable, its working relationship to
other Ransburg system components in typical use.
Each installation is unique and should be direct-
ed by an authorized Ransburg representative
or conducted using the Ransburg installation
drawings provided for your particular installation.
AIR FILTER INSTALLATION
The following guidelines must be observed when
installing air filters for the Aerobell 168 system (see
“Air Filtration Requirements Chart” for additional
information).
1. Use only recommended pre-filters and bearing
air filters as shown in “Recommended Air Filtration
Requirements” in this section. Additional system
air filtration (i.e., refrigerated air dryer) may also
be used if desired.
2. Use one bearing air filter per Aerobell.
3. Mount the bearing air filter as close as possible
to the Aerobell 168 (do not mount further than 30
feet (9M) away).
4. Where possible, the pre-filter(s) and bearing
air filter(s) should be mounted where they can be
easily seen, so the user will see when maintenance
is required.
5. Standard black iron or galvanized piping may
be used prior to the HAF-503 or HAF-508 pre-fil-
ters only. All piping after the pre-filter should be
brass, stainless steel, aluminum, or hose (poly,
nylon, nyliner, etc.).
6. Do not use PTFE tape, pipe dope, or other
thread sealant downstream of the bearing air filter.
Loose flakes of PTFE tape or other sealant can
break loose and plug the very fine air holes in the
turbine bearings.
7. Use clear see-through air tubing between the
bearing air filter and bearing air fitting to clearly
indicate to the user if oil or moisture contamination
is getting past the filter.
8. If air heaters are used in the system (to mini-
mize the effect of excessively humid conditions),
and the heated air will exceed 120°F, the heaters
must be located after all filters to prevent damage
to the filter media.
† Risk of arcing/fire hazard. The Aerobell
168 must be located a safe distance from
the object to be sprayed, as well as all oth-
er grounded objects. The safe distance is
204mm (8”).
† This must be installed with fire protection
and fire detection per EN 50 176.
† Power Unit must be interlocked with con-
veyor and booth fan.
INSTALLATION
† The Aerobell 168 shipping container in-
cludes the basic atomizer assembly with
bell and manifold. Tool options for bell cup
removal and dis-assembly of other compo-
nents can be purchased with the atomizers
or ordered separately.
† Mount the Aerobell 168 securely to a sta-
tionary or reciprocating fixture with the 3/4-
inch (19MM) diameter stud provided.
