Christianson - Model Vac-u-Vator -Convenient Ship and Barge Unloading Conveyors
The DK Vac-U-Vator line of equipment is available in two models, the 4080 and 4090, providing ship and barge unloading solutions for a variety of pneumatic conveying applications. All models are offered with either a cyclonic cleaning intake cyclone or a filter receiver. The cyclone intake provides an efficient cyclonic cleaning with a backup screen to prevent carryover. The filter receiver (FR) is equipped with its own dry compressed air for cleaning the 10-micron filter tubes with a pulsed air system. When used as a vacuum-only system, this machine has low dust emissions. All models may be equipped with an intake and/or discharge boom.
Models 4083 and 4093 are a universal solution for your ship and barge unloading and bulk transfer needs. All models are offered with either a cyclonic cleaning intake cyclone or a filter receiver.
Chassis
New sturdy, heavy-duty chassis with built-in lifting rings and tie downs. All welded, rigid steel frame. New heavy-duty tow bar and steering assembly permits maneuvering in close quarters. High ground clearance. Hidden tie rods eliminate damage.
The proven, durable turbo-blower design provides high conveying rates. It is dynamically and statically balanced. Two, three, or four-stage high-pressure turbo-blowers are available on different models. A new heavy-duty bearing arrangement is also included.
Simple design. Prevents engine overloading, conserves fuel. Automatically balances air flow to the volume of grain, reducing the chance of grain breakage during “clean-up” operations. Yields perfect dynamic flow balance and horsepower reserve.
A heavy-duty centrifugal separator can be easily turned by one person directly toward the point of intake to increase conveying capacity. It is made of heavy-gauge steel for long life. A visual inspection of conveying can be made through a combination access door and inspection window in the lower cone of the cyclone.
This heavy-duty rotary feeder has a simplified drive, safety slip clutch, and automatic power cut-off. It also has a positive lock system on adjustable airlock tips. The removable airlock inspection panel on larger models allows adjustment of tips without disassembly of the airlock or cyclone. A new hinged chain guard on the airlock drive system permits quick and easy servicing.
Utilizes a single back, multiple groove V-belt drive, eliminating “belt flip,” mismatched belt problems, and excessive wear of belt and bearings. The drive-belt system has a new, simple external adjustment device. Servicing of drives and bearings is simplified with a drop-down guard on the main belt drive.
The 300 HP diesel engine features safety shutdown controls, a commercial air cleaner with a safety element, a full instrument panel, a high ambient radiator, and a heavy-duty double-plate clutch. Electric motors and gasoline (petrol) engines are also available.
The machine is coated with a heavy-duty paint system that includes an 85% zinc-rich primer, plus epoxy foundation and finish coatings.
