Al-1 Compressed Air Loader Instructions
Check the air amplifier (see Figure 2, below) and ensure that the index is set at 6 (factory setting). The
index setting is marked with a red dot. The air amplifier setting should never need adjustment under
normal conditions.
The filter/regulator with gauge and junction box assembly should be mounted in a location that is
convenient for the operator, making sure that the position will take into consideration all limitations.
The filter/regulator with gauge assembly must interconnect with:
•
a 115 volt supply outlet
•
the twist lock plug connection for the photoelectric sensor
•
the air amplifier for its compressed air connection
•
the compressed air supply
Ensure that your compressed air is clean and dry; otherwise it will contaminate the material. If the unit
is used on a drying hopper, wet compressed air will cause a high dew point on the dryer. Connect the
filter/regulator to your compressed air supply.
NOTE: The compressed air supply must be 3/8” NPT, unrestricted line with a shut off valve.
Quick disconnects that restrict the flow of compressed air should not be used for this connection.
They are likely to create conveying problems
