1 General Information

1-1 Equipment Function

AEC VacTrac Series conveying systems create vacuum for conveying pelletized, granular, or powder material in a central material handling system.

A typical use is as an in-plant distribution system for plastic processing plants.

1-2 Necessary Documents

The documents listed below are necessary for proper installation, operation and maintenance of VacTrac conveying systems. You can obtain additional copies from the Service Department at AEC, Inc.

Make sure that appropriate personnel get familiar with these documents:

• This product manual

• The VacTrac Series controller product manual

• Electrical schematic and connection diagrams

• The PLC manual

• Blower and electric motor information sheets

• Operation and Installation manuals for installed options and

accessories

1-3 System Capabilities

VacTrac Series central vacuum systems are as varied as the applications that they service. Tubing and equipment furnished in an AEC -designed system is intended to convey the material(s) specified at the time of purchase at specific rates and distances.

Mechanical Components WH2-605A.4

VacTrac™ Series Conveying Systems Page 9

AEC can advise you on your system capabilities based on system makeup, distance, material, and desired conveying rates.

Pressure drops in the overall system directly affect system capacity, such as number of material line bends, footage of pipe, Y-tubes, T-tubes, etc.

The less distance, flexible hose, and bends you use on material lines, the better. Keep material lines as straight as possible.

Vacuum leaks occurring anywhere in your system reduce capacity.

1-4 Equipment Cycle

VacTrac Series material conveying systems are used for automatic pneumatic handling of most free-flowing, dry, pelletized, powder granular materials.

Important!

Material characteristics determine the type of equipment needed to properly convey the material.

See Figures 18 and 19 on Page 46 for typical system configurations.

Basic System Components

A typical VacTrac Series conveying system contains the following components:

• Vacuum receiver(s)

• VacTrac vacuum pump

• Filter chamber

• Sequence or atmospheric valves

• Controller

• Take-off compartments

Page 10 VacTrac™ Series Conveying Systems WH2-605A.4 Mechanical Components

• Pickup tubes/wands

• Vacuum and material tubing

Combinations of these components help you build your VacTrac system for the application you need.

Basic System Types

VacTrac Time-Fill Systems

A VacTrac time-fill system conveys material to an on-line vacuum receiver for a pre-set time period. When this interval elapses, the controller conveys material to the next on-line vacuum receiver.

VacTrac Volume-Fill Systems

A VacTrac volume-fill system conveys material to an on-line vacuum receiver until the material level activates the proximity switch in the vacuum receiver, or a preset time elapses. When either of these conditions occur, the controller conveys material to the next on-line vacuum receiver.

Basic Operation

When you activate the controller, the system energizes and initiates the conveying cycle. The following components energize:

• The vacuum pump motor starter.

• The vacuum pump vent valve.

• The sequencing valve above the first on-line vacuum receiver

that requires material.

The vacuum pump draws vacuum to that receiver. When the receiver is full or the time interval elapses, the controller then signals the atmospheric valve above the next on-line receiver requiring material to energize, allowing material to convey to that receiver. The conveying sequence continues to the last on-line vacuum receiver requiring material.

When the time interval for the last receiver elapses or the receiver is full, a new conveying cycle begins at the first on-line vacuum receiver requiring material.

Typical Atmospheric Valve

Atmospheric Valves

Models AV1.5, AV2, AV2.25, AV2.5, AV3

• Mount on cover of vacuum hopper to direct vacuum into

hoppers.

• Relieves vacuum by allowing an in-rush of atmospheric air

into the system.

• Compressed air-operated.

• Selection of black or white neoprene plungers or available

high temperature plungers.

• 24 VDC or 115 VAC control voltage solenoid.

• Adds only six inches (15 cm) to the height of vacuum

hoppers and filter chambers.

Models SV1.5, SV2, SV2.25, SV2.5, SV3, SV4, SV4.5, SV5

• Mount in vacuum header piping above vacuum hoppers to

direct vacuum into hoppers.

• Used with VTPB pumps and critical dried resins because no

atmospheric air is introduced when vacuum is relieved.

• Compressed air operation.

• Selection of black or white neoprene plungers, or high

temperature silicone plungers.

• 24 VDC or 115 VAC control voltage solenoid.
