03.03.2014 Vacuum receiver with pneumatic dump valve

Flexicon Europe, Whitstable, UK, has introduced a vacuum receiver with a pneumatically actuated dump valve for use with dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems. Fabricated from stainless steel, the unit is of clamp-together design that facilitates fast, tool-free disassembly for filter cleaning and maintenance. Its modular construction allows for addition of cylinder segments for increased holding volume. The flap-type dump valve is actuated by a pneumatic cylinder via manual contact closure, or programmable controls based on weight gain, elapsed time or other parameters selected by the user.

Unlike conventional filter receivers that employ multiple small filter elements, the new device employs a single, large-diameter filter cartridge facilitating rapid filter changes and automatic reverse pulse jet cleaning of the filter element to maintain conveying efficiency during operation. www.flexicon.co.uk
