These numbers may be found on the nameplate located on the vacuum producer casing. Also record the filter bag number for convenient reordering. Having this information easily accessible will expedite parts orders and other commu- nication with the factory, ensuring prompt, accurate service.

Description

The Industravac unit consists of a multi-stage centrifugal vacuum producer (Series V equipped with a Vortex® regen- erative vacuum producer) with continuous duty motor; a highly effective two-stage separator and a large capacity dirt can, all mounted on steel legs (stationary model) or a rub- ber-tired carriage (portable model). These components form

adependable, heavy-duty vacuum cleaning system that is designed and rated for continuous operation handling dry, free-flowing materials.

CAUTION: Standard Industravac units must not be used for liquid pickup or for vacuuming volatile, viscous, flammable or explosive materials. If such problems exist, consult your Spencer Representative for a special- purpose system utilizing either a custom-engineered Industravac unit or a component-based design with special separator and other modules specifically selected for the application.

Portable Model

The portable Industravac model is self-contained and easily moved to various points of use. It is equipped with a motor starter and 50 feet of heavy-duty four-wire (three conductors and ground wire) electrical cable, ready for your addition of a male plug and connection to a suitable power supply. Refer to the machine nameplate for specific electrical information.

Stationary Model

The stationary Industravac model is intended for permanent installation in one location, where, for example, it may be connected to a tubing network to form a central vacuum cleaning system. Since the motor starter is separately installed, usually in a remote location, it is not furnished as standard equipment but is available as an optional Spencer accessory.

NOTE: If a stationary Industravac unit is to be connected to a tubing system, check the tubing runs for leaks before enclosing them in walls where repairs would be difficult.

III. Getting Started

NOTE: If any problems are encountered during installation or start-up of your Industravac system, consult your local Spencer Representative.

Moving and Handling

Each Industravac unit is carefully balanced and tested at the factory. For optimum performance, it must be handled with care during installation. Using accepted rigging practices and safety precautions, the unit can be lifted and relocated with a forklift, overhead crane or hoist.

Storage

If the machine is to be stored for an extended period before use or between uses, it must be protected from dampness, dirt and vibration. The inlet and discharge should be covered to keep foreign matter out; the motor shaft should be periodically rotated a few times by hand.
