4.2.4 Mounting a suction hose
Do not forcefully push the suction hose in the product being conveyed during
commissioning. This can lead to the formation of plugs in the suction hose and
possibly lead to malfunctions of the conveying.
 First switch on the control system, then hold the suction hose vertically in the suction position.
 The suction hose pulls itself into the conveying goods.
Notice that the air intake opening must lie above the level of the product.
Setting the suction hose
Moving the outer pipe to "-" means:
 Convey less material,
 Higher air speed in the conveying line,
 Lower vacuum in the conveying line,
 Less risk of plugging.
Moving the outer pipe to "+" means:
 Convey more material,
 Lower air speed in the conveying line,
 Higher vacuum in the conveying line,
 More risk of plugging.
Pay attention to the conveying through the transparent hose. It should be done evenly and not in
jerks. If this is not the case, then pull the inner tube further in.
Relieve the conveyor from the weight of the conveyor hose.
Therefore separately catch the weight of the conveying hose.
Otherwise the device can be damaged.
