1-5 Options
Single-blower vacuum/pressure systems and dual-blower continuous vacuum and/or
pressure systems are used with companion equipment including cyclones, filter
chambers, rotary airlock valves, and aftercoolers. In addition, the following options are
offered:
; Sound enclosures
; Diverter valves, with or without controls
; Stainless steel cyclone
; Stainless steel pressure takeoff
; Stainless steel filter receivers
; Filter chamber stand
; Common skid for mounting filter chamber, cyclone separator, rotary valve,
discharge adapter, and single-blower pumps
; PLC controllers
; Aftercoolers
; Rotary valve compressed air purge
1-6 The Vacuum/Pressure Conveying System
Vacuum/pressure conveying systems are used to convey high volumes of powder or
pelletized material long distances from railcars into storage silos. They are available
with filters designed specifically for powder or other dusty materials.
Vacuum/pressure systems for powder are similar to pellet systems except they are
equipped with a filter receiver rather than a cyclone separator. This ensures separation
of the material and maximum dust control.
