Start-up
Preparation for start-up
Basic conditions
During start-up, the following general conditions, which have an influence
on the powder feed, must be observed:
– Characteristic of hose layout
– Length and height difference of the suction section
– Length of the feed section
– Corresponding power and compressed air supply available
– Powder preparation and powder quality
Basic information
Compliance with the following principles will result in successful start-up:
– The OptiCenter works with all types of powders that can be fluidized.
If the powder is for example humid or contaminated with other
materials, then the conveying can be negatively influenced or does
not work at all
– At the suction point, a homogeneous fluidization must be ensured,
so that no air ducts (craters) can be formed
– The connecting hose between the AirMover and the booth should be
as short as possible. An additional AirMover must be installed from 7
m.
