GASKETS
Filters & Tubesheets
PLVP, VP and Standard models utilize Flat disc-type Filters. Proper
Membrane-type Filter installation incorporates a
Gasket (e-shaped cross-section) placed around the periphery of Filter to
make an air-tight seal between the Loader Body & Cover Assembly.
When re-installing Flat-Disc type Filters ensure the Filter’s periphery is first
installed in the slot of the Gasket with Filter seam-side facing up/smooth-side
down (away from the motor). The Gasket orientation will be flat-side facing
up/curved-side down (see diagram).
PL model loaders have cylindrical Pleated Filter Cartridge(s) installed. Each Cartridge is first mounted onto the
Tubesheet using the Filter-mount Gasket provided. The Tubesheet will a Body-to-Lid Gasket (e-shaped cross-section)
installed on the perimeter of the Tubesheet prior placing Filter/Tubesheet Assembly into the Loader’s Body. The Loader’s
Lid can now be set in pace and secured with the draw-type Latches.
When re-installing Cartridge-type Filters, mounted on a Tubesheet, the Tubesheet Gasket is installed with the flat-side
facing up (towards the Motor – away from Loader Body).
Motor
Motor-mount Gasket is affixed to the top surface of the Lid. The Motor is then installed atop Gasket to seal.
The Gasket ensures proper channeling of the Vacuum-conveying air up through Cover & Motor Assemblies.
