5-2 l Maintenance
Filter Chamber
Located within the filter chamber is a dry cartridge type filter. Regular filter servic-
ing is required. Time between servicing depends on the pound/hour capacity of the
loading system and the type of material used. Some indications of when to clean or
change a filter are an increase in the normal conveying vacuum, surging or line
blockage or a significant increase in load time (by 20 seconds or more).
Servicing should include a check of the rubber gaskets, all vacuum connections
and cleaning the filter element:
1 Clean the filter by laying it on its side and gently tapping it on the floor.
Then, use a vacuum cleaner to remove the loosened dust.
2 Inspect the paper element of the filter for damage, holes, etc... before re-
installing. For replacement filters - See Spare parts list.
3 Reinstall the filter.
Collection Section
Manual Dump - It is extremely important that this container does not overfill, as
dust will back up into the separating section and clog the cartridge filter. Daily
emptying, or as required, will prevent this. Make sure the seal is in place when re-
installing the container.
Automatic Unload/Reload - Since this unit is designed to unload dust from the
dust collector automatically with each loader cycle, it is only important to check
these two chambers periodically for residue build-up that might block off the coni-
cal valve discharge area or take-away tube. Take apart and clean with compressed
air or vacuum cleaner. When re-assembling, check that the gaskets and seals are in
place.
CAUTION: Wear eye protection. If you use compressed air to clean the equip-
ment, you must wear eye protection and observe all OSHA and other safety
regulations pertaining to the use of compressed air.
Replacement filters are
available from Conair.
