Operation of POLYVAC -
Standard Unit
a: When using the POLYVAC to draw material from
gaylords, bin, etc., a certain amount of air is re-
quired in the pipe to keep the material fluidized.
This secondary air is allowed in by adjusting the air
intake (Item G) on the Suction Wand (Item D,
Page 4).
By
closing
the intake, the conveying capacity is
increased.
Note:
Do not close off intake too far as material will
stop flowing and lay in the hose. Material must con
-
tinue to flow.
By
opening
the intake, the conveying capacity is
decreased.
b: Insure that the end of the Suction Wand does not
become plugged with foreign material or become
blocked by the sides or bottom of the bin.
Note:
Large foreign objects entering the wand may
plug and damage the Rotary Valve.
C: Check filter(s) regularly for build up. Clean as re
-
quired. Restriction of air flow through the filter will
reduce capacity. (Item 5, Page 2)
d: Check the inside of the cyclone periodically for build
up on the screen. Simply remove the clamp holding
the fan housing and the suction cyclone together.
The fan housing is spring loaded and will raise
easily out of the way.
Restriction of air flow through the cyclone screen
will reduce capacity.
Note:
Do not operate the POLYVAC with
the fan housing raised. Insure the finger
guard is in place at all times. Exposed fan
rotor may cause serious injury.
Operation of POLYVAC -
SUC Unit
a: When using the POLYVAC to draw material from
gaylords, bins, etc., a certain amoumt of air is re-
quired in the pipe to keep the material fluidized.
This secondary air is allowed in by adjusting the air
intake (Item M) on the Suction Wand (Item I) and on
the Variable Air Intake (Item F, Page 6).
Initially set both air intakes half way open. No. 5)
Note:
By
closing
the intake, the conveying capacity is
increased
.
By
opening
the intake, the conveying capacity is
decreased
.
b: Start up the system. Insure that the end of the Suc
-
tion Wand does not become plugged with foreign
material or become blocked by the sides or bottom
of the bin.
Note:
Large foreign objects entering the wand may
plug and damage the Rotary Valve.
c: With the Suction Wand in the material, adjust the air
intake on the wand just to the point where material
starts to plug in the flex hose. Now open it up slight
-
ly. If more capacity is required adjustments can also
be made on the Variable Air Intake.
d: The variable air intake can be closed slightly, thus
reducing the amount of air entering the system at
this point.
Caution
must be used as closing this intake too
much will result in the transfer piping plugging. (ie.
not enough air to carry the product) This plug will
usually occur at a 90° degree elbow heading verti
-
cal.
The amount of secondary air required to enter the
system is dependent on the density and size of the
particles being transported, along with the piping
configuration within the system. Some experimenta
-
tion will be required for each system to optimize the
capacity.
e: Check the inside of the cyclone periodically for build
up on the screen. Simply remove the clamp holding
the fan housing and the suction cyclone together.
The fan housing is spring loaded and will raise
easily out of the way.
Restriction of air flow through the cyclone screen
will reduce capacity.
Note:
Do not operate the POLYVAC with
the fan housing raised. Insure the finger
guard is in place at all times. Exposed fan
rotor may cause serious injury.
