Cleaning/Replacing The Vacuum Generator

47

Cleaning/Replacing The Vacuum Generator

Air flow through the vacuum generator creates the vacuum for the applicator 
pad, allowing the label to be held in place. If the label is not retained on the 
pad and the pad has already been inspected for leaks, then the vacuum 
generator should be cleaned as follows.

1.

Locate the vacuum generator inside the electrical enclosure, on the 
applicator side of the SLPA (see Figure 17). The vacuum generator 
housing will mark the pressure connection with a P and the vacuum 
connection with a V. Label the respective tubes before disconnecting 
them, to ensure proper reassembly.

Figure 17. Vacuum Generator

2.

Remove the two air lines attached to the vacuum generator by pushing in 
on the tube fitting (red collar) to release tension on the flexible tubing. 
Hold the tube fitting down while pulling the tube free.

3.

Carefully wipe inside the tube fittings, using a small cotton swab 
moistened with alcohol.

4.

Using a low pressure air nozzle (90 psi. max. pressure) blow air through 
the V port, then the P port using three - 2 second bursts. 

5.

Reconnect the vacuum generator and test the applicator pad’s vacuum as 
outlined in “Cleaning The Applicator Pad” on page 46.
