High vacuum pumps, exhausters and blowers operating manual
18
WARNING
The silencers must be installed on the blower flanges making sure that their weight is not supported by the
machine itself and they do not cause any deformation to the machine. During flange’s bolts tightening
operation check the free manual rotation of the shaft.
5.6 - SOUNDPROOFING BOOTH
In case of high speed and/or high back-pressure the use of a soundproofing booth may be needed.
WARNING
Said booths shall allow air circulation for an appropriate cooling of the machine. Forced ventilation may be
necessary.
5.7 - ANTISHOCK MOUNTS
They allow to damp the vibration that otherwise would be transmitted to the foundation. They are recommended for the
positioning between pump bracket and support plane for blowers and exhausters.
5.7.1 - ELASTIC HOSE
Must be used in case of antishock mounts: it avoids the transmission of mechanical vibrations to the pipes and allows
their free heat elongation.
5.8 - VACUUM AND PRESSURE GAUGES
Their use is recommended to check that the system is operating correctly and to check the adjustment of the over-
pressure valve.
5.9 - CHOKED AIR FILTER GAUGE
It is particularly recommended for machines that are not constantly checked or closed in a soundproofing booth.
A pressure switch installed in the appropriate boss on the suction flange shall actuate an alarm signal and in case
shut off the motor, keeping under control the vacuum level given by filter .
5.10
– MOTOR ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
On the electric feed line, install a thermo-magnetic switch properly adjusted as a protection against feed problems.
5.11 - ANTI ACCIDENT DRIVE COVER
If the coupling between the pump and the electric motor is not made by Pompetravaini - Bora, please note that, in all
cases a protection must be provided in order to avoid contact with moving parts using a cover conforming to the
regulations in force. Pompetravaini - Bora does not assume any responsibility for anti accident drive not manufactured
or supplied by itself.
6 – INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
6.1 - OPERATION
Blowers, exhausters and vacuum pumps described in this manual are rotary machines equipped with lobe rotors,
symmetrically arranged and counter rotating, contained inside a housing. The rotor rotation is synchronized by means of
a gear transmission so as to move forward without a mutual contact with little clearance between them and with respect
to the housing. The operating principle is indicated below.
