AQC MAXIFLO-VC, Owner'S Manual

Page: 7 / 29

Operation
During normal operation, the
Maxiflo-VC unit
vacuums dust laden air into the collector inlet.
Smaller particles are vacuumed toward the
cartridges and larger particles fall toward the
dust storage section. Dust is trapped within the
cartridge leaving clean air crossing the filter
toward the collector outlet.
Cartridge cleaning
The cleaning of the filter cartridges is
performed using a reverse air pulse technology
(see drawing # 1). A solenoid and diaphragm
valve system is aligned toward the cartridges
and the shock wave created by releasing air at
high velocity cleans the cartridges. The
cleaning cycle starts from the upper cartridges
and ends at the lower cartridges.
