MLS Clear Vu

 

 

– Operation 

 

Installation 

 
YOUR SYSTEM consists of: 

 

 

One 

FILTER/POWER STATION

, with central filter; dust collection container; vacuum 

blower/motor; 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 HP, all on wheels for portability. 

 

 

One 

EIGHT STATION CONTROLLER

, to be placed on top of the power station, with 

outputs to each receiver and the power unit, alarms, and an on/off switch and status 
light for each station. 

 

 

Up to eight 

RECEIVERS

, filterless, 10 pound capacity, clear, with level sensor and 

vacuum sequencing valve built in. 

 
If your application is "beside the press" using a "pick-up" lance, the following kit is provided for 
each receiver. 
 

Lance with two 2" hose clamps in box. 

12' 

flexible material hose, 1.5" ID 

 

Each CUSTOMER must supply, or purchase separately: 

 
Vacuum and material line using 1.5", 2", or 2.5" tubing, (steel, aluminum, or PVC), and tees 
and elbows as required. 
 

1.  RECEIVERS: 

 

Mount receivers over the hopper compartments you wish to load. 
 
Receivers are sized to fit over round openings as large as 10 inches in diameter.  
Larger openings require adaptor plates. Openings smaller then 8" diameter must be 
enlarged using the drawings provided on the next page. 
 
The 8" x 8" square bolt pattern allows you to select 4 orientations for the receiver. 
 
Select an orientation so the VACUUM line is located best for your installation.  The 
material inlet line swivels 180 degrees 
 

2.  LEVEL SENSOR: 

 

The LEVEL SENSOR is mounted into the base of the receiver.  It is placed directly 
under the flow of material.  If you select another location, be sure that it is not 
uncovered before material is completely empty from the receiver. 
 
The sensor LED is ON when COVERED, OFF when UNCOVERED.  See 
ADJUSTMENTS, page 18, if you suspect it needs adjustment.
