2. Structure Characteristics and Working Principle
SAL-430 / 460 series are suitable for conveying plastic granules. The blower
makes vacuum of material hopper by drawing the air out. Materials will then be
sent into material hopper.

3. Control box 4. Material inlet pipe
5. Storage hopper 6. Materials
7. Microswitch 8. Discharging plate
After starting the machine, blower(1) works, it makes the storage hopper(5)
generate the vacuum, discharging plate(8) closed, materials in the silo enter
into the storage hopper(5) through material inlet pipe (4) by air pressure
difference. When loading is finished, blower(1) stops rotating, materials(6) drop
off by gravity, when microswitch(7) detected there’s no material in the hopper,
blower(1) will start again. When material can’t be sucked or lack of material,
alarm light (2) on control box (3) will flicker for indication.
