All PPE Venturi Loaders are supplied with a vacuum hose that contains a ground wire to help control static
electricity for user safety. We also recommend you install an extra static ground wire on your LV-FX Series
Venturi Loader unit. The ground wire should be run
INSIDE
your feed tube and connect the metal probe
to the hopper loader frame. This will help to dissipate the static charge generated by some plastics as
they are conveyed up the tube. You can use a standard 18 gauge electrical wire, strip the ends about
1-1/2" and pinch them between the plastic feed hose and the metal tubes that it mounts over, then clamp
it securely with the supplied hose clamps. Do not use plastic suction probes!!
WARNING
STATIC SHOCK HAZARD
LV-FX Series Venturi Loaders
Many variables in plastic material types, sizes, velocity, ambient temperatures, dryness, etc. etc. can or
will generate static electricity seeking a release to ground. If you suspect this condition, we strongly
suggest you add an additional ground wire from the control box circuit board ground to your molding
machine. Excessive static could damage your control circuit board. If the loader is mounted on a plastic
drum or plastic material bin, (ungrounded) you must ground the loader to a proper ground source.
INSTALLATION SPACE
1)
During installation of the Venturi Loader, keep
at least 3 feet installation space around the
Venturi Loader as shown by the picture.
2)
Do not install the Venturi Loader in a position
crowded with other objects. This could cause
erratic operation or maintenance and repair problems.
3)
Keep away from chemicals or flammable materials.
4)
Discharge hole is 1-1/2” or 2”. See specification chart.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Filter Cleaning or Maintenance
The filter is located on the material hopper. Clean or change the filter periodically or when loader’s
feeding capacity decreases. A blocked or dirty filter greatly reduces material conveying capacity!
Clean steps:
Unscrew the star knob, remove the filter. Clean the dust on the filter or install a new filter to ensure
you get maximum material conveying.
Keep your filter clean!
In order to avoid air-blocking and
to get smooth conveying, please periodically clean the dust on the filter (about once every week).
