GETTING STARTED
1. Use the preliminary and startup checks
as a check list on your
Volu-Matic 200
machine each day before proceeding to
the job site. At the job site, connect hose
at the through wall connection firmly
with band clamps and make sure the
hose does not have a short radius bend.
A short radius bend will result in poor
coverage, excessive hose and feeder
wear, and/or plugged hoses. Use thin
wall couplings and reducers, 1/16 inch
maximum, to minimize restrictions.
Proper hose selection is important to
optimize insulation volume and coverage.
A rough bore corrugated hose is necessary
for blown fibers since smooth bore rubber
or plastic will roll shredded material into
small tight balls. Your
Volu-Matic 200
machine has been engineered, when
properly adjusted, to condition fibers for
optimum coverage. Improper hose
selection will degrade fibers conditioned
by the machine and reduce insulation value
in blown material. Do not deviate from
hose diameters, types, or length, as
specified in the table.
THIS
NOT THIS
The Volu-Matic 200 machine will not
perform to specifications when held back
by undersized and restrictive hoses,
couplings, reducers, and/or nozzles that are
used for sidewall spray operations. For
open blow operations, use a 25 foot to 50
foot length of 4 inch diameter hose at the
machine connection. For sidewall spray
operations, make sure the nozzle that you
use has an opening that is at least the same
square inch area or greater than the hose
selected. The nozzle should also have a
body wall that is not greater than 1/16 to
1/8 inch in thickness and with a smooth
tapered entrance.
For maximum open blow
operation, connect a
minnimum of 25 ft 4" hose
to airlock feeder outlet.
Use 4 - 3.5 Reducer when
using the minimum
recommended hose
diameter of 3.5".
4" or 3.5" blowing hose,
minimum 150 feet.
Note: Hose connections are
generally made at the truck box
Through wall connection
Established at installation.
For side wall operation,
connect hose to airlock feeder
as shown in the drawing
Note: Add 3 - 2.5 reducer for
side wall operation using 2.5
inch hose.
