Chapter 3: Functional Description
This functional description is intended for the operating personnel of the equipment.
General knowledge of operating conveyor units is required.
Ensure in each case that the operating personnel are sufficiently informed.
The
3-1 Method of Functioning
The single conveyor unit works |
| |
according to the Venturi Principle. An |
| |
external compressed air supply is |
| |
needed. |
| |
A venturi meter (A) is integrated in the |
| |
venturi assembly. |
| |
The venturi meter aspirates the material |
| |
in the lower part of the tube (C) and then |
| |
conveys the material into the conveyor |
| |
hopper using compressed air in the |
| |
upper part (B). In the hopper loader, the |
| |
material is separated from the air. |
| |
The filling level of conveyor hopper is |
| |
monitored and controlled by a level |
| |
sensor located on the sight glass below |
| |
the receiver. |
| |
Note: The venturi assembly is factory |
