DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE GAUGE
Principle of Operation
As the bag filter is loaded with debris, the debris restricts airflow thru the bag. This restriction increases the differential pressure which is
displayed on the Gauge located on the bottom of the Hornet Vacuum.This can help determine when to change the bag filter.
Clayton recommends that the bag filter be changed when it is approximately 80% full by volume. Keep in mind that If the debris is something
like fine powder it will create more restriction and therefore a greater differential pressure than something like rivet stems.
The differential pressure gauge has a range of 0 to -100. We recommend that each
customer test the hornet in situ to determine their gauge readings for both a clean
bag filter and a bag filter 80% full using the procedure below.
1. Testing the Differential Pressure
Each customer should tailor their differential pressure testing schedule based on how quickly
the bag filter will typically reach capacity in their specific environment.
2. Attach the Compressed Air line
Clayton EXP compressed air lines are conductive and provide compressed air to power the vacuum and as a drain for static buildup
This equipment is only validated for dust ignition proof operation when used with this air line
• Ensure that the compressed air valve on the vacuum is in the off position
• Connect the compressed air line to a compressed air source
• Connect the compressed air line to the compressed air plug on the vacuum
3. Activating the Vacuum
• Rotate the compressed air valve on the vacuum
• 90 degrees counterclockwise to start compressed air flowing and activate the vacuum
4. Reading the Gauge
• Once the vacuum is running, lay the vacuum on its side so that the gauge is visible
• Hold the inlet port open with your hand (do not insert a hose)
• Read the gauge
• Close the inlet port
• Deactivate the vacuum
