System
4.2.2.1. Side Air Line
It is the air line that supplies air for the sys-
tem by connecting to the compressor that is
equipped on the vehicle or that is external.
A check valve is equipped on the side air
line to prevent the air to enter to the comp-
ressor and cause a failure by returning
back.
4.2.2.2. Manometers
They show the pressure of the air in the air
line. There are manometers (1) on the air
line. Since the operating pressure of the silo
tank is 2 bar, it is important to watch the
pressure while there is pressure in the sys-
tem. The required countermeasures must
be taken immediately when the pressure is
raised or lowered.
The number and location of the
manometer could change ac-
cording to the vehicle type.
Manometers
4.2.2.3. Fluidiser Air Line
The fluidiser air line mixes the products with
the air to prevent the product being accu-
mulated at the hole of the discharge cone
by releasing the accumulated product du-
ring unloading, thus the product discharges
much more freely and easily. The fluidiser
air also inhibits clogging at the hole of the
discharge cone.
4.2.2.4. Fluidiser Air Line Valve
The fluidiser air line stop valve is located on
the side air line and it controls the air which
passes into the fluidiser air line. To stop the
compressed air which passes to the line,
you can bring the lever to the closed posi-
tion by turning 90 degrees counter
clockwise.
4.2.2.5. Jet Air Line
Jet air line supports the material to disc-
harge from the discharge hole. The material
which is mixed and sent to the discharge
cone by fluidiser air, discharges quickly by
the help of the jet air.
