The air-conveying properties involved when a vacuum loader pumps materials that tend to float or “carry-over” in the air stream is the main reason that filtration becomes important.  The method used to stop this “carry-over" can greatly affect efficiency, performance and maintenance costs.

The best choice by far is to trap as much of this “carry-over” as possible inside the debris tank where it can be unloaded with the main collected payload. The AIRLORD™  is equipped with a unique 2-stage mechanical separation system to do just that, trap more of the “carry-over” inside the debris tank.

  The first stage of this separation process utilizes an internal open bottom cyclone connected to the dry product inlet tube. This cyclone spins the incoming product in a downward circular direction allowing it to be dispersed in a fan type manner inside the debris tank.  The air is removed from the tank through the center of this cyclone and then enters the second stage of mechanical separation.

  The air exiting from the tank is split into two separate air streams as it is directed back inside the tank a second time to trap even more of the “carry-over”. The split air streams invert and exit the tank through dual air outlet ports where they travel to the next stage of mechanical separation.  By directing the air to take a second pass into the debris tank, “carry-over” is again reduced.

  When the air exits the debris tank the second time, an exclusive 9-stage air inverting cyclone takes over to mechanically separate almost all of the remaining “carry-over”.  This air inverting cyclone begins with a downward circular movement of air and “carry-over” into the large centrifugal upper ring trapping the “carry-over” inside the canister.  The air is split twice to form four separate air streams and each air stream is forced to enter an inverting chamber where the air direction changes and more “carry-over” is trapped inside the canister.  This air directional change happens a second time trapping even more of the “carry-over” inside the canister before the air is allowed to exit the cyclone.  The air that exits this 9-stage air inverting cyclone is clean enough to enter the pump.

  To positively ensure that the air entering the pump is free from “carry-over”, a baghouse complete with snap lock polyester filter bags and stainless steel filter bag cages is configured to provide the AIRLORD™ with the least amount of pressure drop. With less pressure drop more air power is available where you need it, at the end of the loading hose.  When the “carry-over” is removed and trapped mechanically, the bags stay cleaner longer, the powerful air-cannon cleaning system works with fewer cleaning intervals, and bag replacement costs are reduced. A final screen type filter is positioned directly over the pump inlet port to safeguard material from entering the pump when the tank is raised.

Two load level indication devices are standard equipment on the AIRLORD™.  A stainless steel float ball and stainless steel shaft located in the rear head floats on top of liquid material. An external arrow indicator shows the level inside the tank.  The stainless steel shaft is sealed with viton o’rings which are replaceable from outside the tank.

For dry product level indication an electronic sensor is activated at the full load point and opens twin vent valves located in the inlet suction tubing on top of the tank.  This venting action relieves the suction power from the loading hose and purges the inlet tubes to the cyclone.

 Extra items, standard features.

The full opening rear door opens beyond 90º allowing a greater unobstructed unloading area.  The door unlocks, unlatches and opens automatically when activated from a single control lever. The hydraulic vibrator helps to remove stubborn solids in the baghouse, cyclone and debris tank. 

  Dump chutes for the cyclone and baghouse are dynamically shaped to provide maximum product transfer to the rear of the unit when unloading. The rear tube cover plates are designed to seal automatically when the system is powered.  Manual locks can be used when traveling with the unit and are available with optional automatic locks.  Stainless steel material is used on the dump chutes, baghouse, cyclone and all internal related parts.

  Clean out doors for the cyclone and baghouse are a must on any air machine, however, the design of theses doors on the AIRLORD™ are added benefits yet standard features.  The round positive seal design utilizes a counterbalance lever to make opening and closing the access door sure and simple.  The rotation of the latch to close the door insures a tight closure while idle or traveling over bumpy terrain.

  The AIRLORD™ tri-lobe dry vacuum pump has an exclusive discharge jet plenum design which allows cool, atmospheric air to flow into the cylinder. This unique design permits continuous operation at vacuum levels to blank-off (28”Hg) along with cooler operating temperatures and lower noise levels.

  Two silencers, one on the jet plenum and one on the discharge port, are multi-chamber silencers containing a high frequency absorption device in addition to a special arrangement of volumes and air passageways to effectively reduce both pulsation and excessive high frequencies through the process of converting noise energy into heat.

  The standard polyester filter bags included in the AIRLORD™ are rated excellent in the categories of abrasion, energy absorption and filtration properties and have a temperature rating of 275ºF under continuous operation.  Nomex® filter bags are available for temperature ratings up to 400ºF under continuous operation. The baghouse, internal parts and filter bag cages are stainless steel.

  A central operator station is provided on the working side of the unit and includes temperature gauges for inlet and discharge air, vacuum gauges for the tank, cyclone and baghouse, throttle control, door open and tank lift controls.
