It’s important to use supplied fittings to minimize possibility of air restriction.Water removalMinimum 10 micron filter, with an automatic (float type) drain.Oil removalUse an Oil filter installed downstream from the water filter if oil is a concern. Again this should be fitted with an automatic (float type) drain.General Operation / InstallationThe Air Conveyor can be mounted by utilizing the ¼”-20 mounting holes on the unit, or by simply using a clamp. For extra strength, mounting brackets can be attached on both the inlet and outlet sides of the unit.To increase conveying distance and faster flow rates- Increase the size of the holes in the ‘flow generating unit’ by 1/64” intervals and then test each time for the desired flow rate. To decrease force- A regulator may be added downstream from the oil/water filters to reduce the pressure to control the rate of flow required.CleaningSimply disassemble the unit, and clean all surfaces using a mild solvent and rag. Be certain that the holes of the ‘flow generating unit’ point toward the outlet when re-assembling. To prevent contaminants from re-entering the Air Conveyor, pass compressed air through the unit.TroubleshootingThere are many factors that can cause the reduction in vacuum and/or flow. Undersized airlines, restrictive fittings, or clogged filter elements are common areas to check. If you suspect below average performance, install a pressure gage at the inlet of the Air Conveyor.
