4. INSTALLATION
Hood Assembly Installation
Locate hood(s) using the following guidelines:
• Locate near non-crowned (constant diameter) roller.
• Web must maintain a fixed location with respect to machine frame (i.e. not
near a take-up roller or a roller that swings).
• Web must maintain constant tension where the hood assembly will be
installed.
• Do not locate static bar(s) on the hood directly over a roller.
• Web must be in free air near static bar for the static eliminator to work (see
Figure 3).
Figure 3: Hood Locating
Contact a Simco-Ion customer service representative for assistance if you have any
questions on the proper location of the Neutro-Vac Hood assembly.
See Figure 3 to determine how to locate the hood so the web passes in the correct
direction. If your hood is not configured for proper installation, switch the
accessories:
1. Remove nuts securing mounting brackets to stud on intake slot.
2. Reverse order of accessories.
3. Replace nuts on studs to secure accessories.
To mount the hood use brackets or build a sturdy sub-frame that will center hood
over the web and allow adjustment of intake slot from 0” (touching web) to 1” from
web. Typical operating distance between the slot opening and web is 1/4” to 1/2”.
To accomplish this, hoods are supplied with brackets having slotted adjustment
holes. The overall dimensional drawing of your hood will provide you with the
dimensions needed for mounting and approximate hood weight.
