10- INITIAL START UP
For optimum loader operation, adjust the load time so that the vacuum chamber is almost
completely full at the end of the load cycle.
Do not allow the chamber to overfill.
NOTE: VLP
series powder loaders include an extended body to house the cartridge filter(s). Loaded material
should not be allowed to be filled up into this extended hopper area. It is intended only as a
housing for the filter cartridges(s), not a hopper for collecting loaded material.
Adjust the dump time so that it is only 1 to 2 seconds longer than the time necessary to
completely empty the chamber. The number of pulses needed to clean the filter depends upon
the material being conveyed. Clean, virgin pellets require minimum filter cleaning while very dusty
regrind or powder may necessitate a maximum filter cleaning sequence. Adjust the pulse cycle
so the filter(s) remain clean. A mid range setting is suggested as a starting point.
10.1 CONVEYING NOTES
Materials, which contain a large percentage of fines or powder, may require increased filter
cleaning. This can be achieved by the following technique.
A) Set the load time to minimum.
B) Set the dump and pulse time to maximum.
C) Increase the compressed air pressure. CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED 125 PSI.
