Industrial Vacuum Tankmount Systems
Operating & Maintenance Manual
Description
Powerex vacuum tank mount simplex/duplex units
are designed to provide vacuum for process, molding,
packaging, printing and other similar facilities. Vacuum
tank mount systems can be used for a variety of
applications where the fluid being moved is primarily
air or inert gas. Some water vapor may be contained in
the fluid, and it will be transferred to the outlet stream.
No liquid must reach the vacuum system. The system
is not designed to handle flammable or aggressively
corrosive fluids. Liquid water or other liquids must
be separated and collected upstream of the Powerex
system and disposed of as needed. The exhaust stream
of the vacuum pump will contain the process gas and
may contain some trace oil from the pump operation.
Exhaust flow can be vented remotely using piping, or
the room can be ventilated if suitable.

Safety Guidelines
This manual contains information that is very
important to know and understand. This information
is provided for SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT
PROBLEMS. To help recognize this information, observe
the following symbols..
Danger indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
Warning indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
Caution indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury.
Notice indicates important
information, that if not followed,
may cause damage to equipment.
NOTE: Note indicates information that requires
special attention.
Components
Vacuum Tankmount Systems
The IBVS and IBVD (Vacuum Tankmount Simplex
and Duplex) systems consist of one or two rotary vane
vacuum pumps that can be operated independently or
in tandem. The system will operate the pump or pumps
to maintain the vacuum level determined by the control
panel settings. The duplex systems control panel
automatically sequences the pumps to maintain equal
run time on each pump. The direct drive vacuum pump
is equipped with a continuous duty TEFC induction
motor. Maintenance on the rotary vane pump is
simplified through convenient access to both ends of
the pumps.
The pump or pumps draw air through a 10 micron
polyester filter and external check valve. An additional
built-in anti-reverse flow valve is provided for added
protection against leakage. A stainless steel protective
screen is built into the inlet flange as standard
equipment on the pumps. The inlet screen protects the
pump from large particles entering the rotor/vane area.
The pumps have a built in gas ballast valve to help
prevent moisture accumulation.
Receiver Tank
The receiver tank is an ASME registered pressure
vessel rated for 200psig maximum allowable working
pressure and suitable for full vacuum. It is installed in
the system in a flow through arrangement. The receiver
is not intended to be a liquid collector, and failure to
provide effective liquid removal upstream of the IBVS
or IBVD system may damage the pumps and void
warranty. A vacuum gauge is installed and a manual
tank drain valve is included.
Factory installed receiver is used for
vacuum capacity only and is NOT a
collection receiver.
Never drill holes in, or perform any
welding on tanks or use them
beyond the rated pressure settings.
