2-3 Standard Features

Mechanical Features

Time-fill Capability. A station’s vacuum valve remains open for a specific period of time to allow material to be drawn in.

Volume-fill Capability. The vacuum valve will close when material covers the station’s volume-fill proximity sensor or a specific period of time elapses, whichever comes first.

Vent Valve. The vent valve extends vacuum pump life by allowing the pump to run unloaded (not drawing a vacuum on a station) for a specified period of time before it shuts off. The alternative, without the vent valve would be to constantly turn the pump on and off whenever a convey cycle is initiated.

Closed-Loop Conveying (Dry or Ambient Air). This feature allows material to be conveyed and processed without being contaminated by outside influences (such as moisture, other materials, etc.).

Common Purge Valve Output Control for Each Pump. This feature allows any remaining material to be cleaned out of the material lines.

Blowback Filter Cleaning. When this feature is enabled, the controller periodically sends compressed air backward through the pump’s air filter to dislodge accumulated dust and debris.
