2-4 Connecting the Compressed Air Supply

Before connecting the compressed air supply, check the following:

Check compressed air piping for correct installation and assembly.

Check the fittings, length and quality of the hose connections for agreement with requirements.

Check all compressed air lines for leakages.

Supply clean, dry (non-lubricated) compressed air with 70-90 psi (5-6 bar) system pressure.

The air should be free of oil and water.

1.Find the compressed air hose, which has been supplied.

2.Connect it to the venturi and control assembly.

3.Firmly press the compressed-air hose into each connecting socket.

4.Connect the control assembly to the compressed air supply.

5.Set the pressure on the pressure reducer at 70-90 psi (5-6 bar).

Note: Unit requires 25 SCFM at 80 psig if continuously run. Typical air consumption is 8-10 scfm at 80 psig. Max. input pressure 145 psi (10 bar).

WARNING! Make sure that the PLANT supply air lines are large enough to provide required air flow and line pressure. Failure to provide adequate air flow and line pressure will result in conveying performance issues.
