- Blower Package:
- Blowers provide the necessary volume of air and pressure for the system.
- Check for consistent blower speed and pressure relief valve behavior.
- Gauge fluctuations may indicate rotary valve wear or low velocity.
- Convey Line:
- Elbows are wear points and can impact system performance.
- Avoid excessive bends and monitor line pressure.
- Feel the line to assess material flow.
- Rotary Valves / Airlocks:
- These act as the “revolving door” of the system.
- Inspect for proper pressure separation and functionality.
- Filter Receivers / Bin Vents:
- Not dust collectors; they separate air and material.
- Monitor filter differential pressure.
- Ensure efficient bag cleaning cycles.
