Flexicon, Bethlehem, Pa., introduced a new vacuum receiver equipped with a pneumatically-actuated dump valve for dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems.
Constructed of stainless steel, the vacuum receiver features a rugged, clamp-together design that facilitates rapid, tool-free disassembly for filter cleaning and maintenance. The modular design permits the addition of cylinder segments for increased holding volume. The flap-type dump valve is actuated by a pneumatic cylinder via manual contact closure, or programmable controls based on weight gain, elapsed time or other user-defined parameters.
