Vacuload Skid Mounted Vacuum System

TRANSCRIPT

Hi, I’m Paul. I’m the technical project manager here at BlastOne.

Today we’re going to be walking through the Vacuload, or VacOne.

A few things about the VacOne:
First, you have your inlet for the vacuum. Within this containment is a five-micron filter to filter out any particulates that might make their way into the exhaust.

We use a 55-gallon steel drum to collect debris conveyed through the vac hose. The drum has two-inch reinforced bands around each rib to prevent crushing due to the vacuum, which can run up to 28 inches of mercury.

Typical operation: air flows through the inlet, through the piping, and down through the inductor and muffler. The inductor has a venturi nozzle that creates the vacuum, pulling extra air through the back.

Here we have a pulse box, typically preset and not needing adjustment. It pulses periodically to clean off the filter, ensuring efficient vacuum operation.

The vacuum gauge reads from -5 to -28 inches. The pulse valve is timed with a pneumatic timer, releasing a puff of air through the center of the filter to knock off dust.

For troubleshooting:
– Check the seal underneath the drum. A small gap can reduce vacuum efficiency.
– A worn or misplaced venturi nozzle can also reduce vacuum or eliminate it entirely.
