vacuum flow, the vacuum relief valves on the tank
and filter canister will automatically open and
reduce the vacuum to near 0 to prevent damage
to the vacuum system.
A special filter bag (debris bag) is mounted on
sliding rods near the top the stainless steel liner
inside the debris tank. The vacuum system cre-
ates vacuum in the tank and debris mixed with
water from the Hog Head flows directly into the
debris bag where solid debris and particles over
100 microns are trapped. The filtered water exits
the filter bag and flows into the debris tank where
it accumulates until it is drained by the drain valve
at the bottom of the tank. The filter system allows
for quick draining and easy disposal of filtered
waste water while retaining the solids, enabling
the operator to regain tank capacity.
A sight tube on the side of the debris tank indi-
cates the recovered water level and an opening
inspection port on top of the debris tank is used
to monitor the solid waste level. A large ball
valve allows for quick draining of the tank. During
operation, water vapor can travel to the vacuum
filter canister and accumulate, therefore, the
canister should be drained each time the operator
stops the machine or at least once every 2 hours
of operation.
