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.
