3.4.4 Function
The suction hose (5) is set in the material container and is used for suctioning the material to be
conveyed. A vacuum is generated in the conveyed goods container (3) with the blower (1) which
sucks up the material. The conveying air filter ensures the separation of the material from the
conveying air. For a unit with automatic cleaning the conveying air filter is cleaned with a shot of
compressed air.
After the conveying time elapses the blower shuts off. Through its own weight the material
presses on the discharge flap, opens it and flows out. When the conveyed goods container is
empty, the discharge flap closes automatically and a new conveying cycle begins. These
processes repeat as often as needed until the container under the conveyor is filled and the
discharge flap cannot close. Then there is a pause in conveying. If the material lowers so far that
the discharge flap closes again, a new conveying cycle begins.
3.4.5 Automatic cleaning of the conveying air filter
Cleaning is done in the home position before conveying. It can also be done before conveying or
before and after conveying.
