K-Tron Premier
Pneumatic Conveying Systems
and Components for Bulk Material Handling
Overview

Bulk Material Handling Systems
Bulk Unloading
and Storage
Systems
The K-Tron
Difference
A bulk unloading and storage system can increase production and plant efficiency while decreasing labor,
material and energy costs. Premier has time-proven capability to tailor an unloading and storage sys-
tem to meet specific applications. Consideration to plant layout, how material is received, the materials
characteristics and conveying distance and rate are taken to ensure maximum system performance to
handle materials such as wood flour, PVC compound, cocoa, dextrose, titanium dioxide, soda ash, calcium
carbonate, sodium benzoate and many more hard to handle materials.
The PD truck unloading system includes a truck fill
alarm panel located at the storage tank. A manual
hose switch station lets the operator select the
destination.
Truck Unloading
Pneumatic conveying represents the core of a K-Tron Premier bulk
material handling system. Whether its a simple system or achieving
great performance with difficult materials, our application knowledge
and ability to effectively handle a large variety of materials have
earned us the trust of our customers.
Premiers sack dump station traps dust generated
from the unloading of material received in bags. In
addition to the vacuum system, the sack dump sta-
tion can introduce material into pressure systems
or directly into a screw conveyor or mixer.
Bag Unloading
The PD railcar unloading system includes a blower package
and PLC controls to monitor the systems operation.
A single-blower system conveys material from the railcar to
the storage tank. One blower powers both sides of the system,
minimizing cost. It is ideal for applications where the vacuum
side of the system is a short distance.
Dual-blower systems unload material from the railcar at higher
conveying rates and for longer conveying distances.
Railcar Unloading

Weighing and
Scaling Systems
A continuous vacuum or pressure system can improve the accuracy and efficiency of your major, minor
and micro ingredient handling. Maximum system performance is achieved by taking into consideration
factors such as plant layout, material delivery, material characteristics, batch size and the required con-
veying rates. System controls can include recipe, formula and inventory capabilities. Materials of con-
struction include stainless steel for sensitive or sanitary applications as well as epoxy-coated carbon steel
or aluminum for general applications.
Material can be delivered to the scale hoppers by
a closed-loop Aeropass system, filter receivers,
cyclones or screw feeders. When a receiver is used,
an Aerolock meters material into the scale hopper
until the set point is reached.
Series 2400 and P-Series vacuum receivers and
loaders can be used to refill feeders used in
continuous or batch applications. A number of
outlet designs and discharge valves are available
depending on the application.
A receiver is mounted on load cells to allow each
batch to be check-weighed before processing,
minimizing material waste and off-spec products.
Self-cleaning filter media eliminates product carry-
over and provides a cleaner process area.
Material is conveyed to a filter receiver mounted
on load cells. The receivers self-cleaning filter
media separates the material from the conveying
air, eliminating product carryover and providing a
cleaner process area.

K-Trons unique vibrating wire weighing technology is based on the
fact that the resonance frequency of an oscillating wire depends on the
wire tension produced when a load is applied. Force, when derived from
an applied weight, is transferred mechanically to the wire. The
resonant frequency of the wire is then measured to determine
the weight with a resolution exceeding 1 part in 4 million.
Control: SmartConnex Architecture
K-Trons SmartConnex concept represents a new feeder control environ-
ment that tightly integrates the core technologies of a feeder system
mechanical design, control algorithm and weighing technology. This
greatly reduces the cost of installation and daily operation, makes the
system easier to use and maintain, and provides an optimum level of performance. A key com-
ponent combines motor drive and control unit functions into a small box that mounts directly on the feeder.
This K-Tron Control Module (KCM) serves as the feeders brain and controls the feeder for
either batch or continuous processes.
In multi-feeder applications, SmartConnex can be used to form a network of feeders using
simple field wiring techniques with superior performance.

Continuous Processing
in the Pharmaceutical Industry
As the pharmaceutical industry undergoes a change in manu-
facturing from batch to continuous operations, K-Tron continues
to be the supplier of choice for feeding and material handling
equipment. Regardless of the exact continuous process utilized,
the method of feed and refill to the process is critical in maintain-
ing process and product quality/efficiency. Highly accurate K-Tron
loss-in-weight feeders with clean and quick-reacting K-Tron Premier
receivers for automatic feeder refill are the perfect combination to
ensure consistent continuous operations.
Continuous processes which are currently utilizing K-Tron equip-
ment include: hot melt extrusion and extrusion granulation, wet
granulation, drying, direct compression, blending/mixing, and
coating.
K-Trons systems engineering and design experts can provide
complete material handling and feeding systems for all of the pro-
cesses outlined above, with a focus on process and product quality
and operator safety.
Feeding and Conveying
in Tablet Press Operations
K-Trons know-how in tablet press operations finds application in
both the delivery of the tablet mixture to the press and the external
lubrication of the press tools. K-Trons dense phase pneumatic
receivers are ideal for the transfer of the granulate mix directly into
the press. The dense phase system is ideal for blends which have
a tendency to segregate during material handling and transfer.
The K-Tron lubricant feeder is used for accurate delivery of an
atomized spray of lubricant powder directly into tablet press
tooling. The external lubrication system can be provided for a
number of tablet press designs. Installations have proven that the
atomized spray of the lubricant directly into the press can improve
tablet hardness, significantly reduce the sticking and picking of the
formulation to the tablet
press tooling, and even
reduce the overall lubricant
consumption.

Feeding Principles
A group of K-Tron Pharma Feeders feeding directly into an extruder inlet
Loss-in-Weight (LIW) Gravimetric Feeding Principle
Volumetric Feeding Principle
The bulk material is discharged from a hopper with a constant vol-
ume per unit of time by regulating the speed of the feeding device.
The actual volume of material fed is determined through calibra-
tion. The feeding accuracy is dependent on the uniformity of the
material flow characteristics and the bulk density.
Loss-in-Weight (LIW) Gravimetric Feeding Principle
The bulk material or liquid is discharged from a hopper with a con-
stant weight per unit of time by weighing the hopper and regulating
the speed of the feeding device depending on the rate of weight
loss. The weighing control system compensates for non-uniform
material flow characteristics and variations in bulk density; there-
fore providing a high degree of feeding accuracy.
When the hopper reaches a predetermined minimum weight level,
the LIW control is briefly interrupted and the hopper is refilled.
During the refill period, the controller regulates the speed of the
feeding device based upon the historic weight and speed informa-
tion that was accumulated during the previous weight loss cycle.
The LIW feeding principle is most accurate when using a high reso-
lution, fast responding, vibration immune weighing system such as
K-Tron SFT platform scales or load cells combined with self-tuning
controls such as the compact K-Tron Control Module (KCM).

Every pneumatic conveying
solution is custom developed
according to the process and
application, based upon years
of experience with many chal-
lenging materials. Since the
characteristics of bulk materials
are often difficult to define, sys-
tem solutions are usually tested
in the lab.

P-Series as
Refill Devices
The method of refilling a Loss-
in-Weight feeder in a continuous
process can be almost as critical
as the right choice of feeder
technology. Since the objective
is to refill as quickly as possible,
pneumatic receivers that operate
in either dilute phase or dense
phase (in the case of some
preblended formulations) mode
are often used as refill devices,
particularly for continuous
operations.
P-Series as Pneumatic Loaders
In addition to the use of P-Series pneumatic systems for feeder refill,
the systems are also used for a wide variety of material handling
operations in the pharmaceutical industry. Full containment options
are available complete with split butterfly valves on the receiver dis-
charge. A variety of material pickup designs are provided, dependent
upon the source of the material to be transferred, product and pro-
cess safety concerns, and required parameters for cleaning cycles.

Feeding Principles
Volumetric Feeding Principle
The bulk material is discharged from a hopper with a constant
volume per unit of time by regulating the speed of the feeding
device. The actual volume of material fed is determined through
calibration. The feeding accuracy is dependent on the uniformity of
the material flow characteristics and the bulk density.
Loss-in-Weight (LIW) Gravimetric Feeding Principle
The bulk material or liquid is discharged from a hopper with a
constant weight per unit of time by weighing the hopper with
material and regulating the speed of the feeding device depend-
ing on the actual rate of weight loss. The weighing control system
compensates for non-uniform material flow characteristics and
variations in bulk density; therefore providing a high degree of
feeding accuracy.
When the hopper reaches a predetermined minimum weight level,
the hopper is automatically refilled. During the refill period, the
controller regulates the speed of the feeding device based upon
the historic weight and speed information that was accumulated
during the previous weight loss cycle. The LIW feeding principle is
most accurate when using a high resolution, fast responding, vi-
bration immune weighing system such as the K-Tron SFT combined
with the self-tuning, compact K-Tron Control Module (KCM).
Smart Weigh Belt (SWB) Feeding Principle
The K-Tron SWB is used for continuous controlled gravimetric
feeding of bulk materials. Here the controller compares the desired
mass flow with the actual mass flow (weight of the material on belt
x belt speed) and adjusts the belt speed accordingly. The SWB also
offers an optional secondary weighbridge for continuous online
auto tare, reducing maintenance, frequency of calibration, and
improving long term stability.

Dense Phase (Vacuum)
Dilute Phase (Vacuum)
Vacuum Conveying:
Dense or Dilute Phase?
The difference between dilute phase and dense phase conveying
lies in the air velocity and pressure differential within the conveying
line.
In dilute phase conveying a large amount of air (or gas) is used to
convey a small amount of material at a high velocity. Depending on
the bulk density and particle size of the bulk material, typical air
velocities in dilute phase conveying systems range from 16 to 30
m/s (3150 - 5900 ft/min). Since the material is literally suspend-
ed in the air during conveying, the amount of material that can be
transported in this manner is limited. Generally the material to air
ratio in dilute phase applications is no more than 10:1 by weight.
Dilute phase systems are very simple to build, robust and reliable
even when bulk materials or material characteristics change.
In dense phase conveying a small amount of air (or gas) is used to
convey a larger amount of material at low velocity. Here the pres-
sure differential in the line causes the material to move through
the line in slugs. In dense phase conveying typical air velocities
range from 6 to 8 m/s (1180 - 1580 ft/min) and the material to
air ratio is generally 30-50:1 by weight. Dense phase vacuum con-
veying is only possible in a relatively small range of applications
but the low velocity means less chance of damage or segrega-
tion in the bulk material. Dense phase vacuum conveying works
particularly well for fluidizable powders for conveying distances of
up to 20 m (66 ft).

Innovative Material Handling Solutions
Gain-in-Weight vs Loss-in-Weight
Batching Principles
Flow Aid Devices
For ingredients with difficult flow
characteristics, there are a variety
of innovative options available to
enhance product flow and overall
efficiency of a process.
Aeration Pads
Low profile aeration pads provide
an effective flow aid for bins
or hoppers by simultaneously
aerating and vibrating the bulk
material inside the vessel.
Fluidization Beds
Designs are available using
FDA approved liners for smaller
hoppers or large diameter tanks/
silos. This device introduces low
pressure air into the material to
fluidize the product and assist
flow.
ActiFlow
The K-Tron ActiFlow is a non
product contact device which
reliably prevents bridge building
of cohesive materials, eliminating
the need for vertical agitation in
loss-in-weight feeders.
Gain-in-Weight (GIW) Batching Principle
In GIW batching volumetric metering devices sequentially feed
multiple ingredients into a collection hopper mounted on load
cells. Each feeder delivers approximately 90% of the ingredient
weight at high speed, slowing down towards the end of the cycle to
deliver the last 10% at a reduced rate to ensure higher accuracy.
The GIW controller monitors the weight of each ingredient and
signals each volumetric feeder to start, increase or reduce speed,
or stop accordingly. Once all ingredients have been delivered, the
batch is complete and the mixture is discharged into the process
below.
Loss-in-Weight (LIW) Batching Principle
LIW batching is used when the accuracy of individual ingredient
weights in the completed batch is critical or when batch cycle
times need to be very short. Gravimetric feeders operating in batch
mode simultaneously feed multiple ingredients into a collection
hopper. Adjustment of the delivery speed (on/off, fast/slow) lies
with the LIW feeder controls and the smaller weighing systems
deliver highly accurate batches for each ingredient. Once all ingre-
dients have been delivered, the batch is complete and the mixture
is discharged into the process below. Since all ingredients start
and stop their batches approximately at the same time, the overall
batch time as well as further mixing times downstream are greatly
reduced.
LIW and GIW
In some cases where small amounts of micro ingredients are re-
quired for a large overall total batch, both methods are employed:
LIW feeders for the micros and minors, and GIW batchers for the
major ingredients.

Rev. 2010-03 Supersedes: Sep 08
Premier has adopted the following procedure as well as
local regulations regarding the shipping, handling and
disposal of chemicals and other substances.
Material Samples and Testing Services:
Material sample testing is available, and in many cases
required, to insure proper performance of the equipment
once it is installed. All quotations should include the
following paragraph:
This quotation is made without the benet of
a material sample, and is designed based on
past experience with similar materials. Specic
characteristics of your material may affect the
designed rate, and operation of the system. To insure
the desired conveying rate and system function, a
one-gallon material sample may be required. Please
request from your K-Tron Premier representative, or
this ofce, the shipping documentation required by
law before sending the sample.
As a consequence of the adoption of OSHA Hazard
Communications Standard (Code of Federal Regulations,
Title 29, Part 1910.1200) which took effect on November
25, 1985, as well as local regulations regarding the
shipping, handling and disposal of chemicals and
other substances, Premier has adopted the following
procedure:
1. Complete the form "Test Material Shipments
to K-Tron Process Group", which is provided by
creating a material in the K-Tron Premier Portal
Materials database, and send to the Test Lab
Manager before the bulk material is shipped.
2. A "Material Safety Data Sheet" (MSDS) is
required for most bulk materials. It will need to be
sent to the Test Lab Manager before the bulk
material is shipped AND must also accompany
the bulk material. (Note: we will not carry out a
test if handling the material is dangerous.)
Unfortunately, any material that is improperly
labeled or arrives without the MSDS form
enclosed will be refused by our receiving department.
3. The sample (at least one cubic foot) should be
shipped to us in a re-sealable container
constructed of durable ber, metal, or plastic. The
container should be able to withstand a return
shipment.

4. Bulk material quantities greater than 10 ft should
be shipped in Big Bags of max. 2,200 lb each.
Unless other arrangements have been made, we will
return the bulk material to you after the test and invoice
the cost for shipping. On request we can dispose of
the material, but this may incur a cost. Special/safety
equipment required for the test or damage to equipment
caused by the bulk material may also incur a cost, however
we will advise you of this before any tests are carried out.

HD Aerolock
K-TRON PREMIER Product Specication
Heavy-Duty Aerolock
TM
Rotary Valve
S-500101-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The Heavy-Duty (HD) Aerolock is engineered for heavy duty
industrial service and high volumetric efciency at up to 1.0 bar [15
PSI] pressure differential and temperatures up to 107.2C [225F].
When used in a conveying system, the pressure differential limit is
0.8 bar [12 PSI].
Design
The HD has an eight-blade rotor that maintains a minimum two-blade
labyrinth seal to minimize air leakage. The eight-blade rotor is availa-
ble with at or relieved tips in several rotor choices. The HD utilizes
a single radial ball bearing on the drive side and two tapered roller
bearings on the thrust side.

Application
The Maximum-Duty (MD) Aerolock is commonly used with some of the most
challenging materials including minerals, chemicals, llers, food ingredients,
lled pellets, PVC compound and diatomaceous earth. The MD is engineered
for heavy to severe industrial service with pressure differentials up to 1.4
bar [20 PSI] and/or temperatures of 121
o
C [+250
o
F]. The ability to withstand
severe shock loads and elevated temperatures make the MD Aerolock a true
maximum duty performer.
Design
The MD has a ten-blade, rotor that maintains a minimum three-blade labyrinth
seal to minimize air leakage. The ten-blade rotor is available with at or relieved
tips in several rotor choices. The MD utilizes two tapered roller bearings on
both the thrust and drive sides.

Application
The Quick-Clean (QC) Aerolock is well suited for use in the food,
chemical, plastic, and pharmaceutical industries where contamina-
tion is a constant concern and frequent disassembly and cleaning is
required. Without disengaging the valve from the system, the QC can
be easily disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled. The optional sup-
port carriage is ideal for use in high places to facilitate rotor removal.
The carriage fully supports the rotor as it is removed for cleaning.
Design
Incorporating the same maximum-duty features as the MD Aerolock,
the QC offers 24-hour service at pressure differential up to 0.8 bar
[12 PSI]. The QC has a ten-blade, rotor that maintains a minimum
three-blade labyrinth seal to minimize air leakage. The QC utilizes two
tapered roller bearings on both the thrust and drive sides.

Blow-Through Aerolock
TM
Rotary Valve
S-500104-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The Blow-Through (BT) Aerolock conguration enhances rotor cleanout and
makes installation in tight quarters possible. It is often used in sticky material
applications to prevent material build-up in the rotor pockets.
Design
The BT is designed for heavy-duty industrial service in applications of up to
0.8 bar [12 PSI] pressure differential. Eight blades maintain a minimum two-
blade labyrinth seal to minimize air leakage. The rotors are equipped with
relieved tips for materials that form skins or thin sheets on end plates and
housing, or non-relieved tips for cereal products. The BT utilizes two tapered
roller bearings on both the thrust and drive sides.

Light-Duty Aerolock

Page 1 of 2
Application
The Light-Duty (LD) Aerolock provides an excellent seal in low pressure
or low vacuum service. It is ideally suited to continuously discharge from
cyclone or lter-type dust collectors where a head of material does not build
up on top of the Aerolock inlet.
Design
Pressure differential across the LD is limited to a maximum of 0.2 bar [3 PSI],
allowing the exible tip rotor to keep air loss to an absolute minimum. Flex-
ible tips eliminate tolerance adjustments, and the rotors are easily replaced
as they wear. They are ideal for use with ne powders and dusts commonly
associated with cyclone and dust collector applications. The LD utilizes a
single radial ball bearing on both the thrust and drive sides.

AEROLOCK OR MOTOR WILL NOT START
1. Check the power source for sufcient power as specied on the
nameplate. Check the wiring connections and the motor protection
devices; e.g. fuses, circuit breakers, and overload elements. Re-
place the fuses, if blown, and reset the circuit breakers or overload
elements, if tripped.
2. The motor may be burned out. If so, it will need to be repaired or
replaced.
3. The gears in the gear case may have seized up due to the lack of oil.
Replace the gears or the gear case. 4. If the drive is a mechanical
variable-speed drive and the motor runs but the output shaft does
not turn, turn the control wheel to 0 (the lowest speed) and adjust
it back to the desired speed.
5. Check for proper assembly of the drive chain and the sprockets.
The chain may be disconnected or broken.
6. Check for a jammed rotor. If jammed, the Aerolock may need to
be disassembled and cleaned. The bearings or seals may need to
be replaced. See AEROLOCK DISASSEMBLY and AEROLOCK
REASSEMBLY sections of the Owners Manual. Replacement
bearings and seals are available in a Replacement Parts Kit from
Premier.
UNUSUAL DRIVE OR MOTOR NOISE
1. Check for the proper alignment of the drive components. Align the
sprockets with a straight edge. Ensure that the chain is not rubbing
against the drive guard.
2. Check for proper adjustment of the chain. If the chain is too tight,
it will overload the shaft and bearings. If the chain is jumping on
the sprockets, they may be worn and need to be replaced. Align
the sprockets using a straight edge. Be certain that both shaft
keys are seated properly. Sprockets should be as close to the
back of the drive guard as possible without rubbing. Reinstall the
drive chain. Adjust the nuts on the motor mount until the chain is
snug, but not too tight. There should be slack on the bottom side.
An over-tightened chain will overload the shaft and bearings. Too
much slack will cause the rollers to ride upon the teeth, causing
wear on the sprocket. Reinstall the drive guard cover. The chain
may need to be lubricated.
3. Check the oil level in the gear case. The drive assembly is shipped
without oil in the gear case. Fill the gear case with oil that is suitable
for bronze worm gearing with mild EP additives. If the drive utilizes
a planetary gear reducer, see the OEM gear reducer manual for
lubrication instructions.

UNUSUAL AEROLOCK NOISE
1. Check the motors amp draw to determine whether material buildup
on the rotor or housing is overloading the motor. If the buildup is
excessive, clean the rotor and housing.
w Check for the correct direction of rotation. A rotor with relieved
tips rotating in the wrong direction will cause material buildup.
w Some materials are susceptible to buildup and may cause a
squealing noise as the rotor turns. This will be normal for some
types of material and should not be a cause for concern.
2. The rotor may be rubbing on the housing. Check for external loads
on the inlet and outlet anges. The Aerolock is not to be used as a
support for loads other than the drive assembly and line adapter.
HIGH MOTOR TEMPERATURE
Motors operating under rated load (amp draw) and ambient condi-
tions, as specied on the nameplate, may feel warm when touched.
If overheating is suspected, check the following:
1. Check for proper operation of the Aerolock bearings.
2. Check for excessive material buildup in the rotor. If the buildup is
excessive, clean the rotor and housing.
3. Verify that the electrical overload elements are properly sized per
the full load amp specication on the motor nameplate. Oversized
elements will not protect the motor from overload.
4. Check for proper ventilation around the motor. Material or dust
buildup on the exterior of the motor may hamper ventilation.
5. Check the oil level in the gear case. The drive assembly is shipped
without oil in the gear case. Fill the gear case with oil that is suitable
for bronze worm gearing with mild EP additives. If the drive utilizes
a planetary gear reducer, see the OEM gear reducer manual for
lubrication instructions.
AEROLOCK BEARING MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE
1. Disassemble the Aerolock.
w Check for wear, dirt, or material in the thrust-end bearings. Clean
the bearings with a clean, cold petroleum solvent or kerosene.
After cleaning, they should be spun in light oil. If there is damage,
the bearings will need to be replaced. Replacement bearings
are available in a Replacement Parts Kit from Premier. If there
is material in the bearings, check the condition of the seals.
w Check for proper lubrication of the thrust-end bearings. Lubricate
the bearing by packing them with proper lubricant. Over lubrica-
tion of the bearings may cause overheating.
w Check for wear, dirt, or material in the drive-end bearing. If so,
replace the bearing, as it is a sealed-for-life bearing. Replace-
ment bearings are available in a Replacement Parts Kit from
Premier.

LEAKING SEALS
AIR PURGE SEALS
1. Ensure that a lter, regulator, and gauge assembly has been
installed to the Aerolock, along with the compressed air supply. If
the Aerolock has been operated without the air purge operating,
the seals are probably damaged and need to be replaced. Disas-
semble the Aerolock to replace the seals. Replacement seals are
available in a Replacement Parts Kit from Premier.
2. Check for proper operation and adjustment of the lter, regulator,
and gauge assembly. The regulator should be set 10 PSI above the
conveying systems operating pressure. If the regulator is set too
low, material will not be properly cleaned from the air purge diffusers
and will damage the seals. The seals should be replaced.
T-3 SEALS
1. Disassemble the Aerolock, and replace the seals. Replacement
seals for Premier Aerolocks are available in a Replacement Parts
Kit from Premier.
LIP SEALS
1. Disassemble the Aerolock, and replace the seals. Replacement
seals are available for Premier Aerolocks in a Replacement Parts
Kit from Premier.
PACKING SEALS
1. The packing stuffer may not be tight enough against the packing.
Adjust the nuts that hold the packing stuffers in place. See PACK-
ING GLAND ADJUSTMENT MAINTENANCE section, step 8, of
the MD Aerolock Owners Manual.
2. The packing seals may be damaged or worn. Remove the seals and
replace them. Replacement seals are available in a Replacement
Parts Kit from Premier.
AIR LOSS
1. Check for the correct rotor-to-housing and rotor-to-end plate
clearance. If there is too much clearance, air loss through the
clearances will result.
2. Check the condition of the seals. Ensure for proper operation and
adjustment that the lter, regulator and gauge assembly have been
installed to the Aerolock, along with the compressed air supply.
MATERIAL NOT FLOWING
1. Check for material buildup in the rotor pockets. Clean the Aerolock
rotor.
2. Check for the correct rotor-to-housing and rotor-to-end plate clear-
ance. If there is too much clearance, air loss through the clearances
may cause the material to bridge above the Aerolock, decreasing
or stopping the material ow.
3. Vented shear protectors are designed to minimize the chances for
material bridging above the Aerolock by venting the air displaced
from each pocket as it lls, as well as any air leakage through the
clearances. A vented shear protector may need to be installed for
your application.
4. If a vented shear protector is installed, check the condition of the
long seal ap. If it is worn or sheared off due to incorrect installation
or incorrect rotor rotation, it will need to be replaced. Replacement
seal aps are available from Premier.
5. Check for the correct Aerolock RPM.
Aerolock Start-Up Checklist
1. Ensure the correct installation of the shear protector, as described
in the Owners Manual, INSTALLATION section, steps 3 through
14. Ensure that the clearance has been adjusted, as described in
step 6, and that the long seal ap and short shear protector ap
have been reinstalled properly.
2. All ange connections must be tight and mate uniformly against
the gaskets.
3. Verify that the drive motors gear case has been lled with oil to the
correct level. See Owners Manual, INSTALLATION section, step
17, for the oil selection and correct lling instructions.
4. Check for the correct adjustment of the drive chain, as described
in the Owners Manual, INSTALLATION section, steps 21 through
24.
5. If the drive is a variable-speed drive, check for the correct settings,
as described in the Owners Manual, INSTALLATION section,
step 29.
6. Check for proper electrical wiring to the motor as specied on the
motor nameplate. To ensure correct shaft rotation and avoid shear
protector damage, make certain that the motor was jogged with
the chain removed, as described in the Owners Manual, INSTAL-
LATION section, step 1 and steps 18 through 20.
7. If the Aerolock has air purge seals, ensure that a lter, regulator,
and gauge assembly has been installed to supply clean, dry, ltered,
compressed air to the seals. The pressure should be set so the
gauge will read 10 PSI above the conveying systems operating
pressure (approximately 20 PSI in most systems). See Owners
Manual, INSTALLATION section, steps 25 through 28.
CAUTION: Verify that the Aerolocks inlet and outlet openings
are not exposed to personnel. If so, install an inlet/outlet guard.
(see Fig. 6 of owners manual)
CAUTION: For safety reasons, we
strongly recommend you disconnect all
power and air sources before removing
the drive guard cover or doing any main-
tenance to the Aerolock and drive.

AEROLOCK SELECTION
Introduction
Use these instructions to size Aerolocks for system and com-
ponent applications. They are designed to be used in conjunc-
tion with the worksheet on page 1-103.

Material Test
Some of the information from a standard Premier Material Test
is required to complete these instructions. If the material being
handled has not been tested, consult the results from past ma-
terial tests listed in Section 0 of this catalog. Past test results
for materials, in addition to the ones listed, are available by
calling the factory and requesting a computer search of the
material test files.

20-Pound Material Limit
If the material to be handled has a bulk density of less than 20
pounds per cubic foot and if there is a pressure differential
across the Aerolock, do not proceed with these instructions.
Consult the factory to have the Aerolock sized.

High Temperature Application
If either the ambient temperature or the temperature of the
material to be handled is in excess of the limits in the first col-
umn of the following table, do not proceed; consult the factory.

by the factory for these higher temperatures.

Calculations

The capaci t y is the amount of material required to pass
through the Aerolock, expressed in pounds per hour. Write the
capacity in the space on line a of the worksheet.

The outlet pressure is the pressure on the discharge side of
the Aerolock. If the Aerolock is discharging into a pressure
conveying system, this pressure is equal to the conveying line
pressure. If the Aerolock is discharging material out of a vac-
uum system, this pressure is normally 0. Write the outlet pres-
sure in the space on line b of the worksheet.

The inlet pressure is the pressure on the intake side of the
Aerolock. In most pressure conveying systems, the inlet pres-
sure of the Aerolock feeding into the system is 0. In a vacuum
conveying system, the inlet pressure of the Aerolock discharg-
ing from the system is equal to the conveying line vacuum.
Write the inlet pressure in the space on line c of the worksheet.

The pressure differential across the Aerolock is equal to
the sum of the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure. Add
line b to line c and write the sum in the space on line d of the
worksheet.

Write the loose pack bulk density of the material in the space
on line e of the worksheet.

The bul k densi ty correcti on factor compensates for the
change in bulk density as the material drops into the Aerolock.
The change in bulk density takes place because of the in-
crease in air between the particles of material due to the air
that is displaced by the material from each empty pocket of the
rotor and the air leakage through the clearances of the Aero-
lock. Find the appropriate bulk density correction factor in
the table below based on the pressure differential across the
Aerolock, line d, and the material efficiency from the material
test. Write it in the space on line f of the worksheet.

Pressure Differential
Across Aerolock (PSI)
Multiply line e times line f and write the results in the space on
line g of the worksheet labeled corrected bulk density .

The volumetric rate is the number of cubic feet per hour of the
material, based on the corrected bulk density, that will pass
through the Aerolock. Divide line a by line g and write the re-
sult in the space on line h of the worksheet.

To select the appropriate Aerolock model, check the recom-
mendations in the results from the material test. If any of the
production standard models, Standard 1 through 7, are com-
patible with the material, they will be listed. If the production
standard of a given model is not compatible but a minor modifi-
cation can make it compatible, the entire model number includ-
ing the modified feature will be listed. Any models which are
not listed are not recommended for use with the material.

To select which of the recommended models are best suited to
the application, consult the application guidelines on the next
page. When the selection is made, write the model number in
the space on line i of the worksheet.

Aerolock Application Guidelines

LD Standard 1
A head of material cannot be above the LD Aerolock. A LD
Aerolock cannot have more than 3 PSI differential across the
inlet and outlet of the Aerolock. Because of the restrictions
listed above, the LD Aerolock is primarily designed to be used
on the discharge of a dust collector or cyclone.

HD Standard 2 and Standard 6
A head of material can exist above the HD Aerolock. With spe-
cial clearances to allow for pressure distortion of the rotor, the
HD Aerolock can be used in applications up to 20 PSI differen-
tial pressure. When used in a conveying system, the pressure
differential limit is 12 PSI. In systems where the pressure dif-
ferential across the Aerolock will be greater than 7 PSI; up to
12 PSI, the useful wear life may be increased by using an MD
Aerolock rather than the HD Aerolock. The HD has an 8-
bladed rotor versus the MDs 10-bladed rotor. The HD Stan-
dard 6 is designed primarily for the milling and baking indus-
tries for handling flour.

MD Standard 3 and Standard 4
A head of material can exist above the MD Aerolock. Pressure
differentials up to 20 PSI across the inlet and outlet of the Aer-
olock are acceptable. In a conveying system, the pressure
differential across the inlet and outlet of the MD Aerolock
should not exceed 15 PSI. The MD Aerolock is the most rug-
ged and maintenance free Aerolock in the Premier product
line.

MD Standard 9
A head of material can exist above the MD Aerolock. Pressure
differntials up to 20 PSI across the inlet and outlet of the Aero-
lock are acceptable. In a conveying system, the pressure dif-
ferential across the inlet and outlet of the MD Aerolock should
not exceed 15 PSI.

The MD 1820 is the largest and most robust valve in the K-
Tron Premier product line. The 1820 is designed to handle
large volumes of materials. With a number of optional varia-
tions available the 1820 can handle a vast array of products.

Additionally two 1820s can be paired together with a common
drive to offer up to double the volume of material. This valve is
referred to as the 1840.

BT Standard 5 and Standard 7
A head of material can exist above the BT Aerolock. The BT
Aerolock is designed to be used in systems where the pres-
sure differential across the inlet and outlet of the Aerolock are
12 PSI or less. The BT Aerolock is primarily designed to han-
dle non-abrasive, fine particle materials which might cling to
the pockets of the rotor on the discharge side if the conveying
air stream did not blow directly through the pocket. No more
than four BT Aerolocks can be used in series in the same con-
veying line. This restriction is due to the increased resistance
caused by the material that discharges from the first Aerolock
having to blow through the rotor vanes of the BT Aerolocks
downstream. The material must not be abrasive.

The BT Standard 7 is designed primarily for the milling and
baking industries for handling flour.



QC Standard 8
A head of material can exist above the QC Aerolock. When
used in conveying system, the pressure differential
limit is 12 PSI. The QC Aerolock is well-suited for use in the
food, chemical, plastic and pharmaceutical industries where
contamination is a constant concern and frequent disassembly
and cleaning is required.

The material efficiency is a rating given to each material for
its relative ability to flow into the pockets of the Aerolock. The
more flowable a material is, the higher its efficiency rating.
Consult the material test results and write the material effi-
ciency in the space on line j of the worksheet.

The displacement rate is the number of cubic feet per hour
that an Aerolock will displace at a given RPM. Turn to the
page for the selected Aerolock model, pages 1-104 through
1-109 and find the column in the chart on that page for the ma-
terial efficiency rating, line j of the worksheet. In the correct
material efficiency column, find the displacement rate which is
equal to or greater than the volumetric rate computed on line h
of the worksheet. Write the displacement rate in the space on
line k of the worksheet.

In the same chart that was used to find the displacement rate,
look across the row in which the displacement rate appears to
find the Aerol ock si ze, Aerol ock RPM, Aerol ock dri ve
horsepower, and Aerolock drive part number. Notice that
there are two Aerolock drive part numbers listed, one for a
standard motor enclosure and one for an explosion proof en-
closure. On line l through line o of the worksheet, write the
size, RPM, horsepower, and drive part number.

The Aerolock part number can be found in the pricing pages
starting on page 1-401. Find the correct page based on the
Aerolock model selected, line i of the worksheet. On each
page, the gray shaded areas contain the part numbers for the
production standard (or standards) of the model on that page.
The part numbers listed in the areas that are not shaded gray
are for modifications of the production standard Aerolocks.
The items which are modified are highlighted in bold face type
in the model number column. Based on the model number and
size of the Aerolock, line l of the worksheet, find the Aerolock
part number and write it in the space on line p of the work-
sheet.

The air leakage through the Aerolock can be found in one of
the graphs on page 1-110 through page 1-113. Select the
proper graph by looking at the heading at the top of each page.
Find the pressure differential as computed on line d of the
worksheet in the horizontal axis across the bottom of the
graph. From that point move vertically up the graph until inter-
secting the curved line for the Aerolock size, line l from the
worksheet. From the intersection point, move horizontally to
the left and read the air leakage in the scale on the left hand
side of the graph. Write the air leakage in the space on line q
of the worksheet.

Quotation Write-up

Use the Premier quotation write-up forms to describe and price
the Aerolock as a part of a system or as a single component.

construction:
Reference HDR-F-S-98-8NH-1-RT-T3.
Most economical metal for cost vs. wear life comparison. It
can and should be used in most materials handling applica-
tions. Bear in mind that the potential contamination of a
material in a pneumatic conveying system with rust or other
contaminates is minute due to the large volume of material
usually handled. Only if the Aerolock is allowed to set for
days at a time under high humidity or corrosive conditions is
rust likely to be detected in the conveying materials and then
it would soon purge clean.
If corrosive materials or high moisture conditions exist, other
more expensive metals, such as stainless steel, must be
considered.
Available on LD, HD, MD, BT and QC Aerolocks.
Yielding a nominal Brinell hardness of 120/140.

put. Because the displacement per revolution is less, the
Aerolock can be turned faster, providing an even flow of
product.
May be used to fine tune the displacement of an Aerolock,
when used as a metering device.
Reduces the valley angle of rotor pockets which offers in-
creased product release characteristics for sticky materials.

past.
See (HT) for explanation.
Available on MD or QC Aerolocks.

(HT) High Temperature clearance:
Reference MDR-F-S-98-10NH-HT-RT-P.
Offered on MD or QC Aerolocks.
To compensate for thermal expansion of the Aerolock com-
ponents when exposed to temperatures in excess of 200 F,
additional clearances are required.
Proper clearances are designed by the factory and are spe-
cific to the application. Operating temperatures of the mate-
rial handled and surrounding location are required to properly
design the Aerolock.

ROTOR TIP DESIGNATION

( ) Null or blank space:
Reference HDR-F-S-98-8NH-1-( )-T3
If the model number does not reference a rotor tip designa-
tion, it is assumed the rotor blades are flat.

Chamfer on the trailing edge of the rotor blades.
Rotor blade ends and tips are relieved to leave a minimum of
blade top adjacent to housing and end plates of the Aerolock.
This modification serves to prevent the tendency of the rotor
to bind due to material build-up between the rotor tips and
housing or end plates. It also prevents forming skins or thin
sheets by the Aerolock of extrudable or thermo-setting mate-
rials such as the various vinyl compounds used to make res-
ins and plastics.
Required for sugar materials.
Available on HD, MD, QC and BT Aerolocks.

SEAL DESIGNATION

The lip type seal is a double flexible finger spring loaded
seal for positive sealing which will compensate automatically
for wear.
Should not be utilized with adhesive or sticky bulk materials
such as sugar because a coating will form on the rotor
shaft in the area of the seals causing an abrasive surface
to build-up against the seal which in turn will cause the seal
to fail.
Generally used for flour handling.
Available on LD, HD and BT Aerolocks.

(T3) Teflon type shaft seals:
Reference HDR-F-S-98-8NH-1-RT-T3.
General purpose seal.
The assembly is comprised of a Tefloncollar anchored to
the shaft and two steel-cased quad ring seals which fit over
the Tefloncollar.
The seals remain stationary while the Tefloncollar rotates
with the shaft.
The Teflonsslick surface allows quad rings to operate in
dry mode with good service life.
Available on LD, HD, BT, MD and QC Aerolocks.

(P) Packing type shaft seals:
Reference MDR-F-S-98-10NH-1-RT-P.

AEROLOCK NOMENCLATURE
SEAL DESIGNATION

(AP) Air Purge type shaft seals:
Reference MDR-F-S-98-10NH-1-RT-AP.
Offered on HD, MD, QC and BT Aerolocks.
The air purge seal is available for severe service
applications. Plant air is introduced through end plates and
the air diffuser ring. This provides a zone of higher pressure
outside the seals than inside the Aerolock.
Each end plate is 1/4 NPT tapped for compressed air inlet.
Increases seal and wear life of Aerolocks feeding abrasive
materials.
Clean air supply of 5 to 10 PSIG above the internal static
pressure at the Aerolock is required. Note that the seals
must be energized anytime the Aerolock is exposed to
pressure differential.
Available on HD, BT, MD and QC Aerolocks.
HD and BT Aerolocks utilize Teflondiffusers while MD
and QC Aerolocks utilize a stainless steel diffuser.

AIR PURGE SEAL ACCESSORIES

(FRC) Air Filter, Regulator and Connectors:

COATINGS DESIGNATION

(CHE) Chrome plating:
Reference MDR-F-G-98-10NH-2-RT-P-CHE.
Aerolock housing bore and end plate wear surfaces with
.002 to .003 thickness of industrial hard chrome plating.
To increase wear life of Aerolock. To allow use of F or
S metals in corrosive or acid applications.
The thickness of the chrome plating is thin due to
manufacturing process limitations and thus the wear life of
the Aerolock is not as much as it could be if greater
thickness could be applied. The added manufacturing
process adds to the tolerance accumulation in the
manufacture of the Aerolock and thus the rotor to housing
and end plate clearances may be .001 to .002 more than is
standard.
Available on LD, HD, BT, MD and QC Aerolocks.

(NDX) Nedox coating:
Reference BT -F-S-98-8NH-1-RT-T3-NDX.
Creates a self-lubricating surface that resists corrosion,
friction, sticking, galling and static buildup.
May be applied to housing bore, end plate wear surfaces
and rotor blades.
Wont chip, peel or flake off like paint-on coatings.
A thickness of .0005 to .0007 is applied per surface.
USDA-approved / FDA-compliant.

Oxygen and Fuel) method.
May be applied to housing bore, end plate wear surfaces
and rotor blades.
Hardness of 62-65 on C scale.
A thickness of .005 is applied per surface.
May extend wear life of Aerolock by +3 times handling
abrasive materials.
Due to manufacturing cost, the Tungsten Carbide coating
may increase overall Aerolock cost by +3 times.
Available on HD, BT, MD and QC Aerolocks as a custom
modification.

Diverter Valves
The seals can be replaced by one
person without moving the unit from its
supported, installed position. Removing
the stub and sleeve enables access to
all seals.
The seals are replaced without disturbing
the housing, rotor, or bearings.

A Valves
Premier A Valves divert a material stream into one of two
destinations, and are designed for gravity drop installations where no
pressure differential exists across the inlet and outlet.
FEATURES
u Available in aluminum, carbon steel, or stainless steel

u Available in sizes from 6 to 14 inches
u Enclosure ratings of IP 56 [NEMA 4X] and NEMA 9 are standard, with NEMA 7 optional
u Magnetic proximity proof switch conrmation for both gate positions

u Double solenoids ensure positive gate actuation
u Round-anged inlet/outlet adapters are available
u Metal diverter gate has a tight polyurethane seal Aeropass Valves
Aeropass Valves
Premier Aeropass Valves are designed to divert material directly
into a hopper. The valves height enables its use in low-clearance
areas. Aeropass Valves mount directly on top of a hopper, simplifying
system design and requiring a lower initial investment. Immediate
shutoff of material, when the hopper is full, makes the Aeropass Valve
ideally suited for scaling applications.
FEATURES
u Available for 2, 3, 4 and 5 O.D. tube and pipe sizes
u Proof switches for both gate positions
u Pre-wired electrical enclosure with air actuator and limit switches, preset and tested
u Enclosure ratings of IP 56 [NEMA 4X] and NEMA 9 are standard, with NEMA 7 optional
u Eliminates need for branch entry lines by mounting directly on top of bin or scale hopper
Diverter Valves
Premier Diverter Valves direct material from one source to multiple
destinations. The cylindrical, cast housing provides a smooth, low-
resistance path for the conveying air and material. One outlet is in line
with the inlet, and the other is offset 30 degrees. The diverter valve is
ideal for use in pressure systems.
FEATURES
u Available for 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 O.D. tube and pipe sizes
u May be equipped with either manual, motorized or air-cylinder actuators
u May be installed at any angle
u Operates at pressures up to 1.4 bar [20 PSIG] and temperatures up to 93C [200 F]
u Enclosure ratings of IP 56 [NEMA 4X] and NEMA 9 are standard, with NEMA 7 optional
u Single or double solenoid valves
u Magnetic proximity proof switches for both gate positions
u Abrasion protector extends life of the polyurethane seal
u Low pressure drop minimizes velocity change through valve

1A
A typical Aeropass Valve installation includes several
destinations to which batches of material are delivered,
as pictured above. When one of the destinations calls for
material, the Aeropass Valve on that destination diverts to
the 90 degree position. The material and air are directed
into the destination hopper, where they separate; the
material stays in the hopper, and the air passes back to
the source tank. When the hopper is full, the Aeropass
Valve returns to the straight-through position, allowing
the material and air to purge to the source tank.
Immediate shutoff of material, when the hopper is full,
makes the Aeropass Valve ideally suited to applications
where the hopper is mounted on a scale.
This schematic shows a typical Diverter Valve
installation. The valves are mounted on top of the
tanks, requiring that only one conveying line be run
from the source to the top of the first tank. From
that point, Diverter Valves provide branch lines into
each of the three tanks, resulting in a cleaner, more
economical installation.
Automatic actuators allow the Diverter Valves to be
controlled from a remote location. Proof switches give
a positive indication of the diverter gate position as
displayed at the remote control location.

GATE DIVERTER VALVES (NOT CE COMPLIANT)
Valves Application
GATE DIVERTER VALVES (NOT CE COMPLIANT)
Page 2-201
Rev. 2009-08 Supersedes: Sep 2008
Each valve is designed for dilute phase pneumatic
conveying service up to 1 Bar [15 PSIG] and temperatures
through 77 C [170 F]. All seals and surfaces are shielded
from material abrasion.
ACTUATORS
Gate diverters can be specied with hand-operated or
air-actuated assemblies.
The standard hand operator is a hand wheel. It allows
the operator to manually select the position of the orice
blade.
The air actuator requires 5.5 - 6.89 Bar [80-100 PSI]
(maximum 13.78 Bar [200 PSI]) of air. Dry, ltered, and
lubricated compressed air is recommended. The actuator
is air powered in both directions. Control of the air actuator
is accomplished through a gate-mounted solenoid.
Premier model numbers contain the following sufxes to
indicate actuator selection:
M hand wheel A air actuator
SOLENOIDS
Double solenoids are used to control the air actuator and
power the gate in both directions. The solenoids require
120V/60hz power and are available in either standard or
explosion-proof enclosures.
Model numbers contain the following sufxes to indicate
solenoid selection:
VSD standard IP65 [NEMA 4] enclosure, double
solenoid
VED explosion-proof NEMA 7/9 enclosure, double
solenoid
Gate Diverter Valve
APPLICATION
Gate diverter valves direct material (or air) from one source
to multiple destinations in vacuum conveying systems. The
gates sliding orice allows the gate to be used in vacuum
applications where material needs to be converged from
two sources to one destination. It also allows the valve to
be actuated during material transfer.
The valve has a straight-through conveying line for easier
in-line installation and is compact and light for installation
in crowded or overhead equipment areas.
In contrast, Premiers cast diverter valve is recommended
for pressure conveying applications. Its cylindrical, cast
housing provides a smooth, low resistance path for
conveying air and material. This allows the material to
ow with little opportunity for accumulation or degradation.
Please consult our Valves brochure (brochure no. 352) for
additional information.
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
Gate diverter valves are constructed of an aluminum
frame, 304 stainless steel gate blade and stubs, and nylon
pressure plate gate seals.

In the illustration, the gate diverter valve is used to
allow the lter receiver to accept material from two
different sources.

PROOF SWITCHES
The gate diverters can be ordered with single-pole, double-
throw (SPDT) position proof switches. They are mounted
and adjusted prior to shipment and are available in either
standard or explosion-proof enclosures.
Single-pole, double-throw switches provide one set of
contacts for each position. SPDT switches are adequate
for all position information required by the control panel and
should be selected unless special requirements exist.

The following sufxes indicate proof switch selection:
SSS standard IP65 [NEMA 4] enclosure, SPDT
switches
SES explosion-proof NEMA 7/9 enclosure, SPDT
switches
PRE-WIRED TERMINAL BOXES
Pre-wired terminal boxes (on selected valves) are available
with IP65 [NEMA 4] enclosures. They include IP65 [NEMA 4]
water/dust tight ex conduit and ttings between solenoids
and switches. The terminal box is typically mounted on
the end of the air cylinder. NEMA 7/9 terminal boxes are
available on a special order basis.
SPECIAL OPTIONS
Premier gate diverter valves can be ordered with different
materials of construction, actuators, switches, and/or
solenoids on a special order basis. Please check with
our Customer Service Department for availability, price,
and delivery.

Filterless conveying
If the
material
being
conveyed
is of a
consistency
and weight
suitable for
cyclonic
separation,
cyclones can be used as receivers, including
applications where the location does not allow the
maintenance of a cloth-based filter. This, for
example, allows the cyclones to be positioned on
top of the destination with a secondary filter
remotely located. The large particles remain in the
cyclones, while the product fines are collected
downstream in the self-cleaning filter. This
eliminates the need for filter cleaning and other
maintenance at each receiver. Most maintenance
is confined to the filter, which has been
conveniently located.
The cyclone
in operation
The cyclone is
configured to
accelerate the
natural separation
of material from
air. The inlet
provides gradual,
non-turbulent
expansion of the
material/airstream,
directing the
material down
through a
tangential spiral.
The material is
further decelerated
as it swirls around
the body of the
cyclone while the long cone provides space for it to
separate from the conveying air and settle to the
cone discharge. The exhaust outlet is sized to
decrease air velocity, further helping to separate
the last of material particles from the air.
Cyclone sizes
Inlet sizes range from 2-inch to 20-inch
diameters. Flanged discharge diameters range
from 4-inch to 16-inch I.D. To simplify installation,
right-hand or left-hand inlet and exhaust
arrangements are available.
Materials of construction
Materials of construction include carbon steel,
aluminum, and stainless steel. Stainless steel
construction is an excellent choice for abrasive
and/or corrosive material as well as
food-grade material.
A good pneumatic
system efficiently
separates material
from the flow of air
when it reaches the
destination. When
the material is of a
consistency and
weight suitable for
cyclonic separation,
a cyclone is used in
place of a filter. The
cyclone has no
moving parts, no
bags to clean, and
plant air and
electricity are not
needed for operation.
Whether you are
moving 125 or 6,000
CFM of air, there is a
cyclone
to meet
your
needs.
F-700018-en Page 1
Material containing no fines
The cyclone is ideal for handling clean, pelletized materials
without fines. The cyclonic separation of material and air allows
the material to discharge from the bottom of the cyclone while the
conveying air exhausts at the top. For example, this lets the
cyclone be used as a receiver/separator in our single-blower,
vacuum/pressure rail unload system. The cyclone receives the
material from the railcar by vacuum, separating the material from
the conveying air and dropping the material into the pressure
side of the system.
Complete
separation
not required
The cyclone can
be used in size
classification
systems where
material is being
passed through a
screener and small
amounts of
material remain in
the exhaust
airstream. The
cyclone receives
the material,
directing the large
particles downward
through a tangential spiral where they separate from the conveying
air. The small amount of fines that would have passed through the
screener remain in the exhaust airstream to be reintroduced into the
conveying line downstream. This filterless conveying system
eliminates the need for filter bag cleaning and reduces the number
of parts requiring maintenance.

Cyclone efficiencies relate directly to the specific gravity and
aerodynamic characteristics of the particle. For simplicity, the
particle size only is used to determine estimated cyclone
efficiencies. By determining the percentage of particle sizes in a
given volume, the average cyclone efficiency can be figured.

Application
The Mini Pulse-Clean Filter is a new line of miniature bin vent lters.
Each unit has one small lter bag or cartridge lter element which is
automatically pulse-cleaned with a burst of compressed air. These
lters are made to t Loss-in-Weight feeder hoppers and Aerolock
surge hoppers. This product ts the need for a small, reliable au-
tomatic vent lter and can remain in use for long periods of time
without the blinding or maintenance of a static vent sock. A pulse
timer or central controller can be used to send the pulse signal.

Modular Cartridge Bin Vent
S-500402-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The Modular Cartridge Bin Vent provides excellent air ltration of ne
airborne particles from within a storage tank and releases clean air
to the atmosphere. While material is pneumatically conveyed into a
storage tank, ne particles and air are efciently separated by the
units large cartridge lter. This enables clean air to pass from the
tank out to the atmosphere. Reverse jet cleaning from a compressed
air accumulator pulses the cartridge lter, dislodging any nes and
returning them to the storage tank.
Design
The Modular Cartridge Bin Vent is maintenance friendly. Standard
materials of construction include carbon steel enamel coating or
stainless steel material contact areas. Stainless steel construction
is available for abrasive, corrosive, and food-grade applications.
Mounting on a standard 508 mm [20 in] diameter tank deck ange,
the small modular unit is inexpensive and easy to install. The units
single cartridge lter is constructed of tough, washable polyester for
efcient ltration. The cartridge lter hangs vertically and has shallow,
open pleats for efcient dust release, even with difcult materials. Each
unit can lter 5.7 - 11.3 m
3
/min [200 - 400 ft
3
/min] of air, depending
upon the application. Quick-release clamps allow easy access to
the cartridge lter. The plenum features a built-in weather hood and
specially designed diffuser which enables each air pulse to clean the
entire lter. Unlike other bin vents, no exhaust fan is required.

Application
Mounted on top of a storage tank, the Automatic Bin Vent lters the
exhaust air and avoids pressure build up in the tank. When material
is pneumatically conveyed into the storage tank most of the mate-
rial drops out of suspension and the dust laden excess air is vented
through the lter, where airborne dust particles are trapped by the
lter bags or cartridges. Sequentially timed bursts of compressed
air, controlled by solenoid valves, pulse the bags or cartridges and
dislodge the dust particles to clean the lters. The product remains
in the storage tank and clean air exhausts through the tank vent out
to the atmosphere.
Design
Standard material of construction is carbon steel with enamel coat-
ing. The units lter element is cleaned by reverse jet cleaning from
a compressed air accumulator. The air is directed through venturis,
inducing a greater volume of air to clean the lter element for more
complete dust particle dislodging. Only a single row of the lter ele-
ment is pulsed at a time, leaving the remaining lter element on-line.
The interval between pulsing is adjustable to ensure optimal lter
element cleaning. The bin vents lter element is easily accessed for
service through the quick access door. The air pulse cleaning of the
lter element is regulated by the timer control panel. The timer allows
easy adjustment of the frequency and duration of each pulse and a
display shows which element row is currently being cleaned. All so-
lenoids for pulse cleaning are located in the panel. Each bin vent is
equipped with a pressure differential indicator. The gauge measures
the difference in pressure between the lter element housing and the
clean air plenum, informing the operator of the effectiveness of the
lter cleaning system.

Application
The Filtair
TM
Series Filter Receiver provides automatic material-from-
air separation. The tangential inlet located in the receivers circular
hopper provides a cyclonic separation of the material from the air
stream. Remaining airborne material is trapped by the lter element.
Sequentially timed bursts of compressed air, controlled by solenoid
valves, pulse the bags or cartridges and dislodge the dust particles
to clean the lters. The lter element is protected from the material
mainstream by a deector shield. Efcient performance of the lter
receiver is achieved through the proper selection of lter media and
the correct air-to-cloth ratio, along with can velocity considerations.
Design
Standard material of construction is carbon steel with enamel coat-
ing. The units lter element is cleaned by reverse jet cleaning from
a compressed air accumulator. The air is directed through venturis,
inducing a greater volume of air to clean the lter element for more
complete dust particle dislodging. Only a single row of the lter ele-
ment is pulsed at a time, leaving the remaining lter element on-line.
The interval between pulsing is adjustable to ensure optimal lter
element cleaning. The receivers lter element is easily accessed for
service through the quick access door. The access door is designed
with a curved prole to minimize internal ledges. The air pulse cleaning
of the lter element is regulated by the timer control panel. The timer
allows easy adjustment of the frequency and duration of each pulse
and a display shows which element row is currently being cleaned. All
solenoids for pulse cleaning are located in the panel. Each receiver is
equipped with a pressure differential indicator. The gauge measures
the difference in pressure between the lter element housing and the
clean air plenum, informing the operator of the effectiveness of the
lter cleaning system.

Application
The Filtair
TM
Series Filter Receiver with double access doors provides
automatic material-from-air separation. The tangential inlet located in
the receivers circular hopper provides a cyclonic separation of the
material from the air stream. Remaining airborne material is trapped
by the lter element. Sequentially timed bursts of compressed air,
controlled by solenoid valves, pulse the bags or cartridges and
dislodge the dust particles to clean the lters. The lter element is
protected from the material mainstream by a deector shield. Efcient
performance of the lter receiver is achieved through the proper
selection of lter media and the correct air-to-cloth ratio, along with
can velocity considerations.
Design
Standard material of construction is carbon steel with enamel coat-
ing. The units lter element is cleaned by reverse jet cleaning from
a compressed air accumulator. The air is directed through venturis,
inducing a greater volume of air to clean the lter element for more
complete dust particle dislodging. Only a single row of the lter ele-
ment is pulsed at a time, leaving the remaining lter element on-line.
The interval between pulsing is adjustable to ensure optimal lter
element cleaning. The receiver has two access doors located 180
apart to provide easy access to the lter element for service. The
access doors are designed with a curved prole to minimize internal
ledges. The air pulse cleaning of the lter element is regulated by the
timer control panel. The timer allows easy adjustment of the frequency
and duration of each pulse and a display shows which element row is
currently being cleaned. All solenoids for pulse cleaning are located
in the panel. Each receiver is equipped with a pressure differential
indicator. The gauge measures the difference in pressure between
the lter element housing and the clean air plenum, informing the
operator of the effectiveness of the lter cleaning system.

FILTAIR AND CYCLONE SIZING
Introduction
Use these instructions to size separators for system and com-
ponent applications. They are designed to be used in conjunc-
tion with worksheet no. D-5.

Restrictions
These calculations are based on the following assumptions:
1. The ambient air and the material being handled do not
exceed 120 degrees F.
2. The material being handled has a fine particle content that
would be normal for that material. Making this judgment is
not necessary if a material test has been done on the spe-
cific material to be handled.

If either of these two qualifications do not fit the application
being considered, contact the factory for instructions to size the
separator.

Material Test
Some of the information from a standard Premier material test
is required to complete these instructions. If the material
being handled has not been tested, consult the results from
past material tests listed in Section 0 of this catalog. Past test
results for materials, in addition to the ones listed, are available
by calling the factory and requesting a computer search of the
material test files.

Calculations
If the air volume ACFM that the separator will handle is known,
there is no need to complete lines a thru d of the worksheet.
Write the air volume ACFM in the space on line e of the work-
sheet and proceed with the instructions from that point.

If the air volume ACFM is not known, write the system inlet air
flow and the blower inlet vacuum from the worksheet, no. D-
3 or D-4, in the spaces on line a and b of the worksheet.

In the table below, find the temperature altitude correction
factor based on the highest prevailing ambient temperature
and the altitude above sea level of the installation point. Write
the temperature altitude correction factor in the space on line c
of the worksheet.

In the table below, find the inlet vacuum factor based on the
blower inlet vacuum, line b of the worksheet, and write it in the
space on line d of the worksheet.

Multiply line a times line c times line d and write the result in
the space on line e labeled Air Volume ACFM.

To select the proper type of separator, consult the application
guidelines below. Once the selection has been made, put an
X in the box in front of either cyclone, bin vent, or filter receiver
on worksheet no. D-5.

Application Guidelines
Cyclones
Used with size code A materials that contain no fines.
For applications in which small amounts of material in the
exhaust air stream do not present a problem.
Used as a primary receiver with a secondary filter separa-
tor down stream.
Bin Vent
For highly efficient separation of air from material.
Used only in pressure systems because of the operating
pressure limitations. See the operating pressure limits
listed in the table on page 4-104.
Filter Recei ver
Used in applications with higher operating pressures. See
the operating pressure limits listed in the table on page 4-
105.
Used primarily in vacuum systems.
Used for highly efficient separation of air from material.
If a bin vent or filter receiver has been selected, skip down to
line j of the worksheet and proceed with the instructions from
that point.

Cyclones
Turn to the table on page 4-104 labeled Cyclone Operating
Specifications. In the column labeled Air Volume ACFM-
Optimum, find the air volume that is closest to the volume
listed on line e of the worksheet. In the same row of the table,
the cyclone size number is listed in the left hand column.
Write the cyclone size number in the space on line f of the
worksheet.

The material of construction should be dictated by compati-
bility with the material to be handled. There are four materials
of construction to select from; 10 ga. steel, 14 ga. steel, .125
aluminum, and 14 ga. 304 stainless steel. Write the selected
material of construction in the space on line g of the worksheet.

The maximum operating pressure can be found in the dimen-
sion pages based on the cyclone size number and the material of
construction. Write the maximum operating pressure in the space
on line h of the worksheet. In a vacuum system, the cyclone is ex-
posed to the full blower inlet vacuum on the inside and atmospheric
conditions on the outside. Verify that the blower inlet vacuum, line
b, does not exceed the maximum operating pressure, line h.
The cyclone part number can be found in the pricing pages, based
on the size number and the material of construction. Write the
cyclone part number in the space on line i of the worksheet.
Bin Vent or Filter Receiver
The material factor can be found in the results from the standard
Premier material test. Write the material factor in the space on
line j of the worksheet.
The application factor is used in the calculations to account for
different degrees of material air separation in advance of the air
passing through the flter bags. If a large open space (for example,
a storage tank) is available for the material and air to separate
prior to the air passing through the flter bags, the work done by
the flter bags is less, and consequently a larger air to cloth ratio
can be used. Find the application factor in the table below and
write it in the space on line k of the worksheet.
Application Factor
Application Factor
Filter Receiver .7
Bin Vent Mounted on Small Bin or Surge Hopper .7
Bin Vent Mounted on Large Tank 1.0
Multiply line j times line k and write the result in the space on line
l of the worksheet labeled Air To Cloth Ratio.
To fnd the cloth area required, divide the air volume ACFM, line
e, by the air to cloth ratio, line l, and write the result in the space
on line m of the worksheet.
The square feet of cloth can be found in the pricing pages for
bin vents and flter receivers. Select the value which is equal to
or greater than the cloth area required, lime m of the worksheet.
There may be several units which meet this requirement. Gener-
ally, the unit which has less bags of a longer length will be more
economical than a unit with a greater number of bags of a shorter
length.
Unless there is a height restriction, select the unit with the least
number of bags having an adequate cloth area and write the part
number for that unit in the space on line n of the worksheet.
If the application is for a bin vent on a large tank, lines o and p of the work-
sheet can be skipped. Continue with the instructions for line q. For all other
applications, lines o and p must be competed.
Turn to the table in the pricing pages for a bin vent or a flter receiver. In the
column of that table labeled Can Area At Most Restricted Point, fnd the
area for the unit that was selected on line n of the worksheet. Write the Can
Area At Most Restricted Point in the space on line o of the worksheet.
To fnd the can velocity, divide the air volume ACFM, line e, by the can
area at most restricted point, line o, and write the result in the space on
line p of the worksheet. In the results from the material test, verify that the
can velocity on line p of the worksheet does not exceed the maximum al-
lowable can velocity for the material. If the maximum allowable can velocity
is exceeded, return to line n of the worksheet and repeat the calculations
from there with a unit that has a greater number of flter bags of a shorter
length. This action will increase the can area at the most restricted point
and thereby decrease the can velocity.
If the calculations are for a flter receiver or a static bag bin vent, line q and
line r need not be completed.
An exhaust fan is used on bin vents to insure that the air coming into the
bin bent for passage through the flter bags does not encounter excessive
resistance. If the resistance across the flter bags is too great, as some-
times is the case when the bags get dirty, the air will pass out through the
pressure-vacuum valve of the vessel on which the bin vent is mounted
rather than through the bin vent. The vent exhaust fan helps to insure that
this does not happen. If the bin vent will be mounted on a vessel which
will not have a pressure vacuum valve, consult the factory to fnd out if a
fan will be necessary.
Turn to the price pages and select the exhaust fan which will handle the air
volume ACFM as calculated on line e of the worksheet. Write the exhaust
fan part number in the space on line q of the worksheet.
The exhaust fan horsepower is found in the same table. Write it in the
space on line r of the worksheet.

Material Manifold Gate
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
Page 4-104
Rev. 2009-08 Supersedes: 3-1-95
TECHNICAL BULLETIN
MATERIAL MANIFOLD GATE
Some vacuum sequencing systems that are using a common material manifold can use the material manifold gate to prevent
the line from plugging. This technical bulletin will help clarify how and where the material manifold gate should be used.
PROBLEM
Vacuum sequencing conveying systems, like Premier's Series 2400, that
use a common material line manifold can experience a situation where
material overshoots the destination receiver and plugs the line of the
receivers downstream. This is an industry wide problem that occurs not
only in our Series 2400 systems, but also in our competitors' vacuum
sequencing systems.
It's extremely difcult to predict in advance when this situation will oc-
cur. Most of the causes are due to installation or operational factors
that cannot be predicted. How the equipment is installed, the layout of
the piping (including the distances between receiver wyes), operation
the system outside the designed rates, having certain machines off-line
periodically, as well as different capacities required for each molding
machines are the most likely causes of the overow problem. The type
and shape of the material may also be a factor. At this time, however,
we know of no common denominator allowing us to predict the problem
prior to installation.
SOLUTION
Premier has developed a material manifold gate to solve the problem.
The gate is housed in a line tee that is positioned directly behind the line
wye branching off to the receiver. It is actuated along with the receiver's
vacuum valve. When the receiver is being serviced, the vacuum valve
on the receiver opens and the material manifold gate closes. The gate
provides a barrier that keeps the pellets from carrying past by momentum
and plugging the line for receivers downstream. Then the receiver's
vacuum valve closes, the gate opens and the line is clear for servicing
other receivers.
It can be used on our Series 2400 receivers, as well as any competi-
tor's unit that utilizes an air control valve. The operation of the gate is
controlled automatically by the receiver's air control valve, not the central
system's control.
MATERIAL MANIFOLD INSTALLATION KITS
Material manifold gate installation kits are available for 1

to the receiver's solenoid, and an owner's manual. Wire ties are also
included to attach the plastic tube to the exible conveying hose for a
clean installation. Couplings are sold separately, and a kit is required
for each receiver that is experiencing material carry-over.

MATERIAL MANIFOLD GATE APPLICATIONS
NOTE: THE MANIFOLD GATE IS DESIGNED TO WORK IN SYSTEMS
HANDLING PELLETIZED MATERIALS ONLY. BEFORE USING THE
MANIFOLD GATE IN REGRIND OR POWDER APPLICATIONS, A MA-
TERIAL TEST IN THE PREMIER LABORATORY IS REQUIRED.

All systems with a common material manifold do not require material
manifold gates. In addition, for those systems in which a need for the
gates does develop, they are usually not required for each receiver.
The need for the material manifold gate is dependent on a particular
application and not necessarily the material to be conveyed. This
makes it difcult to predict when it will be needed. We have therefore
elected not to include the gate as part of every Series 2400 system,
since in most cases it may not be needed and would result in an un-
necessary additional cost for the customer.
Instead, if the customer subsequently experiences the carry-over
problem, the Manufacturer's Representative or Regional Manager will
send him a brochure on the manifold gate and suggest he purchase
one for each receiver on his system.
To our knowledge, competition has not offered a remedy for the
carry-over problem when it occurs on their existing systems. This
may present us an opportunity to offer a solution to a problem on a
system not of our manufacture and gain credibility and goodwill in
the process.
If you have any questions regarding any aspect of the material
manifold gate, please contact your Regional Manager or the
senior design consultant.

Modular Cartridge Bin Vent
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Page 4-105
Rev. 2009-08 Supersedes: 11-1-99
GENERAL INFORMATION
The tube sheet, mounting cone, and lter cartridge are in
the material contact area. The clean air exhausts directly
to the atmosphere through the built-in weather hood.
The bottom portion of the cartridge element hangs below
the housing, into the tank, eliminating any concern with
can velocity. The materail pile's angle of repose must be
prevented from coming in contact with the cartridge by
mounting the unit(s) at the perimeter of tanks, and by lling
material near the center of the tank.
TANK CONNECTIONS
Use a standard 20" dia. tank ange for each modular bin
vent unit. Safety grids are not necessary. Locate the bin
vent units at 20 to 30 inches from the perimeter of the tank
deck. Space the units about 30 inches apart.
ON-LINE PULSE-JET CLEANING
The lter unit is automatically cleaned with a pulse
of compressed air. Compressed air should be dry,
nonlubricated, and regulated to 80 to 90 psi. One
compressed air lter, regulator and gauge assembly should
be used per tank. To control the pulse jet timing, one
pulse controller is required per tank. The pulse controller
includes the timer and solenoids for the desired number
of Modular Cartridge Bin Vent units, as well as an extra
timer and solenoid in case another lter unit needs to be
added in the future. The pulse controller should be as close
as possible to the lter units. It should never be more than
12 feet away.
REGARDING BIN VENT FANS
With the large amount of lter cloth available, the use of
bin vent fans is not necessary.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Temperature limit=200 deg. F for the standard unit; higher
temperature options are available. The bin vent units and
the controls are suitable for use outdoors or indoors (NEMA
4 & 12). Other NEMA ratings are available upon request.
OPTIONS
The carbon steel Modular Cartridge Bin Vent's housing
is fabricated from carbon steel with an epoxy coating on
the inside, and primed and painted with enamel on the
exterior. The standard lter element has galvanized steel
end caps and a black neoprene gasket.
The food grade Modular Cartridge Bin Vent includes
stainless steel material contact areas, and a cartridge
lter with stainless steel anges and food grade gasket
material.

SIZING INFORMATION
100 sq. ft. of spun-bond polyester lter media per Modular
Cartridge Bin Vent unit.
AIR TO MEDIA RATIOS
4:1 Clean plastic pellets
3:1 Pellets with some nes, PVC resin powder,

2.5:1 Coarse plastic regrind, PVC compound,
granulated sugar, lime, starch, calcium
carbonate greater than 2 microns, soda ash,
talc, silica, stearates, and owable powders
greater than 2 microns
2:1 Fine plastic regrind, with dust or brous
particles, metal oxides, powdered sugar,
calcium carbonate less than 2 microns, and
other powders less than 2 microns, and other
powders less than 2 microns
OTHER MATERIALS

SIZING FORMULA
cfm = sq. ft. of required lter area
air-to-media ratio
sq. ft. of
required lter area = number of modular cartridge bin
100 vents required (always round up)*
*one additional tank mounting ange (over and above the
required number of bin vents) should be included in case
another lter is needed in the future.
EXAMPLE
Calcium Carbonate PD Truck unloading system with 650
cfm.
Req'd lter media area = 650 2.5 ratio = 260 sq. ft.
260 100 = 2.6; therefore, round up to 3 Bin Vents
Use modular bin vent units to obtain 300 sq. ft., but include
4 tank mounting anges in case another unit is needed
in the future.
Choose pulse controller F15702-16, which will control
3 bin vent units. It includes a spare solenoid in case the
customer adds another unit.

Introduction
Use these instructions to size blowers for system and compo-
nent applications. They are designed to be used in conjunction
with worksheet no. D-6.

Calculations
The blower inlet vacuum, blower outlet pressure and sys-
tem inlet air flow are the results of the system design calcula-
tions from either worksheet no. D-3 or D-4. Fill in the spaces
on lines a, b and c of the worksheet.

The equivalent pressure rise can either be read from the
graph on page 5-301 or calculated using the formula below.
Write the result in the space on line d of the worksheet.

EQUIVALENT PRESSURE RISE
[(14.7 +LINE b) (14.7 LINE a) 1] X 14.7 =EPR

Maximum Equivalent Pressure Rise
The standard Premier blower packages in this selection of the
catalog are limited to operation at less than the maximum
equivalent pressure rise as listed at the top of the next column.
The actual pressure rise is the sum of the blower inlet vacuum,
line a, and the blower outlet pressure, line b. Write the actual pres-
sure rise in the space on line e of the worksheet.

Find the temperature altitude correction factor in the table be-
low based on the highest prevailing ambient air temperature and
the altitude above sea level at the installation location. Write the
temperature altitude correction factor in the space on line f of the
worksheet.

Find the inlet vacuum factor in the table below based on the
blower inlet vacuum, line a of the worksheet. Write the inlet
vacuum factor in the space on line g of the worksheet.

The air volume at blower inlet is found by multiplying the
system inlet air flow, line c, times the temperature altitude cor-
rection factor, line f, times the inlet vacuum factor, line g. Write
the result in the space on line h of the worksheet.

To find the Premier blower chart number, turn to the inside
of page 5-301. In the chart on that page, find the air volume at
the blower inlet, line h of the worksheet, in the scale along the
bottom of the chart. Locate the equivalent pressure rise, line d
of the worksheet, in the scale along the left hand side of the
chart. Find the intersection point of these two values. If the
intersection point is not on one of the dark, black diagonal
lines, locate the first diagonal line that is above and to the right
of the intersection point. It is not necessary to identify a spe-
cific point along that line, but simply to identify the diagonal line
that either crosses the intersection point or is above and to the
right of the intersection point.

Without losing track of the diagonal black line that has been
identified, find the actual pressure rise, line e, in the scale at
the left hand side of the chart. Find the point at which the actual
pressure rise intersects the diagonal black line which was iden-
tified in the previous paragraph. The number in the shaded
area directly to the left of that point is the blower chart number.
Write the blower chart number in the space on line i of the
worksheet.

If the application is for a pressure blower, turn to page 5-305. If
the application is for a vacuum blower, turn to page 5-309. In
the left hand column of the table on that page, the blower chart
numbers are listed. Find the blower chart number that was en-
tered on line i of the worksheet. The blower part number ap-
pears in the next column of the same row. Write the blower part
number in the space on line j of the worksheet.

The inlet and outlet line size, blower horsepower, outlet
silencer, and inlet silencer-filter/silencer can be found by
reading across the same row in which the blower part number
appears. Fill in the spaces on lines k, l, m, and n of the work-
sheet.

Quotation Writeup
Use the Premier quotation writeup forms to describe and price
the blower as a part of a system or as a single component.

These transitions are made with Premiers standard bolt
pattern; the same as our Aerolocks and A-Valves. To select
the correct transition for an Aerolock, match the transition
size to the second half of the Aerolock size designation.
For example, use a size 10 transition for an 1110 Aerolock.

The spill containment pan is designed for use by all industries that receive and unload bulk solids
from hopper railcars. The pan helps prevent the loss of material during unloading and subsequent
contamination of storm water runoff as mandated by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency's Clean Water Act of 1991. The polyurethane pan "locks" onto the railroad track under the
hopper car's outlet for positive positioning and stabilization.

Aeration Pads
K-TRON PREMIER Product Information
Aeration Pads
I-500801-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
Simultaneously aerating and vibrating bulk material, the
low profile Premier Pneumatics aeration pads provide
an effective flow aid for use when discharging all types
of granular or powdered materials.
Overcoming bridging and rat-holing, the special design
of the device causes a vibration as fluidizing air flows
between the rim of the diffuser and the bin wall.
The aeration pads are generally only activated during
discharge, resulting in very low air consumption. De-
pending on teh bulk material and application, blower air
is generally between 5 to 20 psig (0.3 to 1.3 Bar).
Design
Stainless steel (316L) shaft with food grade silicone
rubber diffuser
Vibrating action promotes material flow
Compatible with any type of silo or bin
Low profile improves material flow
Captive diffuser eliminates risk of detachment during
operation
Uses pressured air 5 to 20 psig (0.3 to 1.3 Bar)
Safe for use in hazardous areas
Rated for temperature up to 205C [401F]
Features
Retrofitted in minutes
Suitable for granular or powdered materials
Suitable for abrasive materials
Durable construction
Totally maintenance free
Self-cleaning and hygienic
Air on
Air is introduced into the silo or bin through the
aeration pad to aerate and fluidize the material. As
air flows under the rim of the diffuser, it causes it to
vibrate, helping move material that has a tendency
to bridge.
Air off
When the air supply is switched off, the pressure of
the material forces the specially designed diffuser
against the side of the bin, preventing material
from escaping under the diffuser and into the air
supply line.

Construction of an Internal Access Aeration Pad
NOTE: THE FITTING TOOL IS DESIGNED SO THAT THE AERATION PAD CANNOT BE DROPPED INTO THE SILO.
Squeeze the rubber section through the
hole in the bin.
Pass the centralizing bar through the
bin wall ensuring it is vertically mounted
(see step 4) and the spigot is located
within the hole.
Maintain a backwards pull on the T-Bar
to ensure the centralizing bar remains
located and vertical. Slide the seal-
ing washer inwards and pass over the
threaded boss.
When the sealing washer is in position
with the threaded boss protruding, screw
on the retaining nut.
Tighten the retaining nut and remove
the T-Bar, connect the air supply and the
aeration pad is ready to use.
Cut a 46 mm (1.81 in) diameter hole in the
bin wall, remove sharp edges. Fit T-Bar
into the threaded adaptor on the aeration
pad with all washers, etc., as shown.

hopper, by allowing different zones of material to discharge at different
rates. The material is thus blended as it leaves the vessel.
Design
With its special geometry in the silo hopper, the Zone Blender provides
multiple ow zones in which the material passes through the silo at
different velocities and residence times. As a result, the discharged
material contains a blend of material from throughout the silo or
hopper. The Zone Blender uses a combination of mass ow (rst
in rst out) with funnel ow (last in rst out) to help homogenize
the blend and reduce the effects of segregation, even with dissimilar
materials.

Performance
The Zone Blender is intended for any free-owing material. It will easily
handle any material that ows out of a 60
o
hopper. The internal bafes
of the Zone Blender tend to reduce consolidation pressure and thus
reduce the likelihood of bridging or rat-holing with many materials.
Even dissimilar materials will blend well. This includes materials with
different ow properties, such as mixing ake with pellets, or nes with
coarse material. If one material ows easily, while another materials
shape or particle friction makes it ow poorly, then blending takes a
little longer. The material may need to be recirculated, or turned-over,
1.5 to 2.5 times. If the Zone Blender is used to blend materials with
similar ow properties, then the blending performance is even better.
Turning the material over 1 to 1.5 times is common.
Blend the material as the vessel is being lled, by recirculating
material from bottom back to the top.
Blend the material as the vessel is being emptied, by recirculating
material from bottom back to the top.
If the blended material is transferred to another hopper at the use
point, the segregation could occur in the second hopper. Depending
on the material characteristics, its tendency to segregate, and the
degree of blending required, another Zone Blender may be desired
at the destination hopper.
Industrial Benets
May be used in a once-through or recirculating system design,
to blend material from throughout the silo.
Appropriate for batch or continuous systems.
Allows re-use of off-spec or recycled material by blending it into
the major component.
Suitable for mixtures of many ingredients.
When installed above the process or packager, it reduces segrega-
tion at the use point to reduce any variability in the end product.
Continuous concept with no time delay required between material
feed and blending.
For the compounder, the resulting homogeneity provides uniformity
of color and uniformity of other desired material properties.
In the plastics industry, suitable for compounders, recyclers, and
anyone who blends materials.
In the food and chemical industries, suitable for blending or
preventing segregation of any free owing materials. Examples
include coffee, cereals, pet and animal food, spices, fertilizer, and
detergent.

FLUIDIZER BEDS
Page 8-203
Rev. 2009-08 Supersedes: 2-1-99
8
Fluidizer beds are designed for applications on
tank hoppers having 5-foot diameter discharge
openings. Fluidization of dry, nely ground,
aeratable bulk materials such as our, starch,
cement, and hydrated lime is promoted by intro-
ducing low pressure air into the stored material.
Air is diffused by forcing it through fabric before
reaching the material. Fluidizer beds are at-
tached to tank hoppers with offset clamps that
are included with each unit.
The uidizer bed outlets match Premier Aerolock
bolt patterns. To select the correct unit, match
the discharge size to the second half of the
Aerolock size designation. For example, use a
10-inch diameter discharge for an 1110 Aero-
lock. Refer to section 6, Flanged Adapters
& Related Accessories, to nd transitions for
square Aerolocks.
The standard units are constructed of carbon
steel with a nish enamel painted exterior. Alter-
nate materials of construction are available upon
request.

BUTTERFLY GATES (NOT CE COMPLIANT)
Page 9-201
Rev. 2009-08 Supersedes: Sep 08
MANUAL OPERATOR AIR OPERATOR
BUTTERFLY GATES (NOT CE COMPLIANT)
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
Premiers production standard buttery gates are con-
structed of the following materials:
Valve Body - cast iron, epoxy coated
Disc & Stem - ductile iron, phosphate coated
Stem Bushing - bronze
Seat - Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer
(EPDM)
The one-piece seat provides the seal between the disc
and the body, and forms the ange gaskets between the
body and ANSI drilled anges used to mount the gate. The
standard gate is suitable for applications with pressure dif-
ferentials up to 1.7 Bar [25 PSI] and a temperature range
of -23 to 82 C [-10 to 180 F].
Various parts of Premier buttery valves can be ordered
in alternate materials of construction. Please check with
the Customer Service Department for availability, price,
and delivery.
ACTUATORS
Premier buttery gates are available in either hand-operated
or air-actuated assemblies.
The hand operator is a lever-type unit with 90 degrees
of travel. Intermediate positions between fully open and
closed can be selected in 10-degree increments.
The air actuator assembly requires a 6.2 Bar [90 PSI], clean,
dry compressed air supply. The operator is air powered in
both directions. Control of the air operator is accomplished
via gate-mounted solenoids, as described below. The
standard air operator does not provide for intermediate
positioning between fully open and closed.
SOLENOIDS
Solenoid valves are used to control the air actuator on
gates which are so equipped. The solenoids require 125
VAC control power. They are available in either standard
enclosure or explosion-proof enclosure, and are shipped
assembled to the gate.
A single solenoid powers the gate in one direction. When
the current to the solenoid is interrupted, the gate returns
to the original position. The standard buttery gate is closed
in the absence of power to the solenoid and open when
power is applied. The opposite conguration (power to
close and remove power to open) can be accomplished
by reversing the air line connections from the solenoid to
the actuator. The single solenoid should be selected in
applications where one position (either open or closed) is
temporary; or where the gate is required to close or open
automatically upon electrical failure.
A double solenoid is powered in both directions. In the
absence of power, the gate remains in the position to which
it was last actuated. A double solenoid should be used in
applications where the gate will remain in either position
for extended periods or when the gate is required to stay
in its last position upon electrical failure.
In applications requiring a gate in the material conveying
line, the buttery gate should not be used. When in the
fully-open position the buttery gates disc remains in the
control opening making it unsuitable for material line con-
veying applications. A Premier diverter valve or knife gate
is the correct choice for material conveying applications.
APPLICATION
Premier buttery gates are used to control gravity ow
discharge from storage bins and hoppers. In addition, they
are well suited to controlling the air-only lines in pneumatic
conveying systems.
The illustration at left shows a
manually operated buttery gate
being used to control the gravity
ow discharge from a hopper.
This illustration shows two air-operated
buttery gates used to select the destina-
tion lter receiver in a vacuum conveying
system. The buttery gates are located
in the air-only line, down stream from the
lter receivers.

PROOF SWITCHES
Premier buttery gates can be equipped with position proof
switches. The switches are mounted and adjusted prior to
shipment. They are available in either standard enclosure
or explosion-proof enclosure.
Single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches provide one set
of contacts for each position. SPDT switches are adequate
for all position information required by the control panel,
and should be selected unless a special requirement for
DPDT switches exists.
Double-pole double-throw (DPDT) switches provide two
sets of contacts for each position. DPDT switches are
used when a second set of contacts are needed to control
another device or illuminate pilot lights (other than those
in the main panel) without going through the main control
panel. In this type of application, only one set of contacts
from each switch is wired to the main control panel.

Rev. 2009-08 Supersedes: Sep 2008
The standard gate is rated for differential pressure
applications up to 1.03 Bar [15 PSIG] and temperatures
through 121 C [250 F]. The stainless steel metal contact
points and hard polymer seals provide corrosion and wear
resistance. In severe service applications, the external
seals can be replaced without removing the gate from
service. The gate must be installed in a horizontal position
to assure maximum material clean-out. Equipment (above
or below the gate) weighing in excess of 90 kgs [200 lbs]
cannot be supported by the gate, and therefore requires
additional support.
ACTUATORS
Premier gravity slide gates are available in either hand-
operated or air-actuated assemblies. The manual hand
wheel allows selection of any gate position from open to
closed.
The air actuator requires 5.5 - 6.9 Bar [80-100 PSI]
(maximum 13.8 Bar [200 PSI]) of air. Dry, ltered, and
lubricated compressed air is recommended. The actuator
is air powered in both directions. Control of the air actuator
is accomplished through a gate-mounted solenoid. The
standard air actuator does not provide for intermediate
positioning between open and closed.
Premier model numbers contain the following sufxes to
indicate actuator selection:
M hand wheel A air actuator
APPLICATION
Premier gravity slide gates are used for controlling a gravity-
fed material stream. When equipped with a special service
inlet, shutoff can be made against a head of material. In
the open position, the gate blade is completely removed
from the control opening, making a resistance-free passage
for the material stream. While closing, the gates blade
clears the material from all sealing surfaces.
Special stainless steel service inlets are designed to
minimize material shearing and material contact with
the seals. A special service inlet is recommended when
the gate is closing on a head of material; when handling
abrasive materials; or for applications that require the gate
to cut through pelletized or granular materials.
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
Premiers gravity slide gates are constructed of an aluminum
frame, 304 stainless steel gate blade, and nylon gate
seals.

This illustration shows a series of gravity slide gates at the bottom of a row of
storage tanks. The gravity slide gate was selected to help prevent air loss above
the idle Aerolock feeders.
This illustration shows the gravity slide gate being used
to select the material destination in a gravity discharge
chute. The gravity gate was selected, because the
chute is full and the gate must close against a head
of material.

SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the air actuator. They
require 120V/60hz power, are available in standard or
explosion-proof enclosures, and are shipped assembled
to the gate.
A single solenoid powers the gate in one direction. Electrical
current shifts the valve and blade, and holds it in position.
When the current to the solenoid is interrupted, the valve
and blade return to the original position. The standard
gravity slide gate is congured to be closed in the absence
of power, and open when power is applied. The opposite
conguration (power to close and remove power to open)
can be accomplished by reversing the air line connections
from the solenoid to the actuator.
The single solenoid should be selected in applications
where one position (either open or closed) is temporary; or
where the gate is required to close or open automatically
upon electrical failure.
A double solenoid is powered in both directions. In the
absence of power, the gate remains in the last actuated
position. The double solenoid should be used in applications
where the gate will remain in either position for extended
periods; or when the gate is required to stay in its last
position upon electrical failure.
Model numbers contain the following sufxes to indicate
solenoid selection:
VSS standard IP65 [NEMA 4] enclosure, single
solenoid
VSD standard IP65 [NEMA 4] enclosure, double
solenoid
VES explosion-proof NEMA 7/9 enclosure, single
solenoid
VED explosion-proof NEMA 7/9 enclosure, double

PROOF SWITCHES
The slide gates can be equipped with single-pole, double-
throw (SPDT) position proof switches. They are mounted
and adjusted prior to shipment and are available in either
standard or explosion-proof enclosures.
Single-pole, double-throw switches provide one set of
contacts for each position. SPDT switches are adequate
for all position information required by the control panel and
should be selected unless special requirements exist.

The following sufxes indicate proof switch selection:
SSS standard IP65 [NEMA 4] enclosure, SPDT

SES explosion-proof NEMA 7/9 enclosure, SPDT

SPECIAL OPTIONS
Premier gravity slide gates can be ordered with different
materials of construction, actuators, switches, and/or
solenoids on a special order basis. Please check with
our Customer Service Department for availability, price,
and delivery.
These gates are furnished
with Premier's standard
Aerolock bolt pattern.
To select the correct
gate, match the gate
size to the second half
of the Aerolock size
designation. For example,
use a size 12 gate with a
1312 Aerolock.

Page 1 of 2
Multi Material Conveyor/Weigher
The Conveyor/Weigher package combines a vacuum
receiver with a reliable weighing system. The resulting
combination allows multiple ingredients to be conveyed
and weighed so that accurate batching of ingredients
can take place on either a cumulative or sequential
basis:
a) As a Multi Material Batch Weigher the unit accumu-
lates an exact amount by weight of several ingredients
(generally max. eight) to form a batch prior to loading
a mixer.
b) As a Totalizing Weigher the unit continuously moni-
tors the throughput of a single material in a process or
accurately lls a bulk container.

Bag Dump Station & Bag Dump Hopper

Application
The Bag Dump Station with integral dust control and the Bag Dump
Hopper allow the introduction of dry bulk material to a vacuum system,
pressure system, or directly to a feeder or mixer.
Design
The Bag Dump Station with integral dust control is designed to ensure
a clean, dust-controlled environment while making it easy to unload
material received in bags. As the operator unloads material, the sta-
tions direct drive fan draws dust-laden air away from the operator.
The dust is routed to the continuous reverse cartridge lters. The Bag
Dump Station has a quick opening panel, requiring no hand tools for
easy access to the cartridge lters for removal or normal service.
The Bag Dump Hopper is designed to provide an economical means of
unloading bags. The hopper may be integrated with a central exhaust
system to provide dust control functionality.

Hoppers Application
SCALE HOPPERS
Page 11-201
Rev. 2009-08 Supersedes: Sep 08
Scale hoppers are available in working capacities rang-
ing from 0.2 m
3
through 2.9 m
3
[7 through 104 ft
3
]

The inlet is equipped with a tangential entry bafe which
mates to an Aeropass valve. It provides better material-
air separation and more even lling of the hopper.

The hopper features three support lugs, evenly spaced
around the circumference which can be used to sus-
pend the hopper from load cells. Compatible load cells
and mounting hardware are shown on page 11-203
and 11-204.
Features of the scale hopper include an internally l-
tered vent with a check valve mounted to an 203 mm
[8 in] access plate, a coupling to accommodate a high/
low level control, and a discharge ange to match a
knife or buttery gate valve. The hopper is constructed
on a steep, 63 slope to encourage the discharge of
hard-to-handle materials.

The hoppers are fabricated in carbon steel with epoxy-
coated interiors and enamel nish-painted exteriors.

and related electrical and plumbing. The Component Installed Tank allows for one
shipment of a completed system, saving you valuable time and money in the field.
Seal Weld
Seal Weld silos from Columbian TecTank combine the wider size selection and site
erection advantages of a bolted tank with the smooth interior benefits of a welded
aluminum tank. The silos are assembled from panels with mechanical fasteners
and sealed by welding the internal seams. The welded interior of the product zone
is free of ledges. Seal Weld silos may be used to store polymers such as fluff,
flakes or pellets.
Flow Testing
Columbian TecTank can have your product tested through a proprietary consultant for
flow characteristics. We will analyze the consultants recommendations and incorporate
them into the design of your silo. Samples of your product will be tested on a state-of-
the-art shear tester to predict material flow properties. The results allow us to
determine the correct hopper slope and outlet size for functional, reliable mass flow.

Application
The Proximity Level Switch detects the presence of
material in a hopper or bin. It works on a capacitance
basis and is capable of detecting many free-owing
materials that are commonly handled pneumatically,
including many chemicals, plastics, and foods. The
sensitivity is adjustable using the screwdriver, which
is included. The correct sensitivity is easily determined
by viewing the status LED on the back of the unit. The
switch mounts in a M30 threaded boss or alternatively
can be mounted in a 31 mm [1.25 in] hole and secured
by two nuts which turn on the threaded housing. It is
available for AC or DC power.

INVENTORY LEVEL SENSORS
(Plumb Bob Type)
The model SBRX II on demand "plumb bob" type level sensors provide highly reliable digital readings of distance to
product, height of product, percentage full and weight. The microprocessor-based remote sensors make the level data
from the SBRX II consistently reliable. An optional gearbox heater is available for conditions where the temperature is
consistently below -6C [+20F].
The remote sensors can be operated manually or at set intervals from the Inventory Control Console (ICC) or with a PC
using specically-designed Inventory Management System (IMS) software. The remote sensor quickly lowers a bob at 0.6
m/sec. [2 ft./sec.] from the top of the storage vessel straight to the material inside. As the bob descends, the measuring
circuit in the head senses the amount of cable being unwound and transmits this information to the ICC or PC using the
Inventory Management System software. When the bob makes contact with the material surface, it instantly retracts to a
neutral position at the top of the vessel.

Silo Dehumidication Dryers
Premiers silo dehumidication dryers are used to blanket
the inside of a bulk storage silo with warm, dry air to prevent moisture
contamination of the stored material. Condensation is prevented and
the material remains free owing and ready for processing. When
installed, a silo dehumidication dryer will maintain a slight positive
pressure within the silo, thereby eliminating the possibility of the
introduction of humid ambient air. These units are not intended to dry
the material, but rather to maintain the original dryness during the
storage period.
FEATURES
u Efcient operation, with low power consumption
u Average dew points below -6C [+20 F] with single pass air, guaranteed
u Single external regeneration heater is easily accessible
u Only the desiccant is located inside the towers

DEHUMIDIFYING DRYERS & ACCESSORIES
Page 15-201
Rev. 2009-08 Supersedes: 6-10-04
The Dehumidifying Dryer delivers fast, efcient drying for a wide range
of plastics, including hygroscopic materials. Automatic regeneration
with an alternating dual bed design creates precise drying conditions
within an adjustable range of 140
o
to 300
o
F. An optional booster heater
enables processing temperatures to 400
o
F. The dryer is controlled
by the Siemens S7-224 PLC, with touch panel for precise, accurate
control of the desiccant dryers.
A slip stream of dry process air is passed through the regenerating bed
to eliminate moisture inltration and desiccant contamination during
cool down. This self-contained design provides complete moisture
removal and consistent low dew points below -40
o
F.
With the alternating dual bed design, one desiccant bed is always on
line drying while the second is being fully regenerated. This provides
a continuous supply of low dew point air to ensure a constant supply of
dry material. Alter nate use of the two beds is automatically controlled by
a timer that shifts the process air to the newly regenerated desiccant.
Ambient air is drawn through the reactivation lter and heated by the
reactivation heater. The heated air purges the trapped moisture from
the desiccant and is released into the atmosphere.
When the regeneration cycle is complete, the regeneration heater and
blower are de-energized and the desiccant is allowed to cool statically
before the next absorption cycle begins. Static cooling prevents any
moisture build-up, completely eliminates dew point "bumps" during
changeover and results in long cycle times.

Proper sizing of your drying system assures the necessary residence time for a continuous supply of dry material.
Dryer sizing
The proper dryer is selected by matching the CFM of the
unit to the desired throughput using (as a general rule)
1 CFM per pound of material per hour for dehumidifying
dryers and
1
/2 CFM per pound of material per hour for
hot air dryers.
Hot Air Drying System:
If your process requires 500 lbs. per hour of Polyethylene
and the proper residence time for Polyethylene is 2 hours,
you would select an 1000 lb. capacity hopper.
(2 hours X 500 lbs./hr. = 1000 lb. hopper capacity).
Utilizing
1
/2 CFM per pound of material per hour, you would
require a hot air dryer with 250 CFM.
(
1
/2 CFM X 500 lbs./hr. = 250 CFM dryer)
Hopper sizing
Hopper selection is determined by multiplying the required
drying time by the desired throughput. The hopper you
select must have a capacity equal to or greater than this
gure to ensure sufcient residence time.
Dehumidifying Drying System:
If your process requires 50 lbs. per hour of ABS and the
proper residence time for ABS is 4 hours, you would select
RH-200, a 200 lb. capacity hopper.
(4 hours X 50 lbs./hr. = 200 lb. hopper capacity).
Utilizing 1 CFM per pound of material per hour, you would
require a dryer with 50 CFM, the NPD-50.
(1 CFM X 50 lbs./hr. = 50 CFM dryer)

vacuum receivers on one blower with one back-up blower. The Series
4 MPC Controller is designed to be used with both P-Series and 2400
Series Receivers. It can control traditional keep full receivers that
ll and dump until a vessel below is full and/or Premiers line of rell
receivers that ll and hold material until a dump request is received.
A low-voltage cable system with quick-connect plugs* allows the receiv-
ers to be connected to the central controller without tools. In addition,
low-voltage wiring generally does not require an electrician, allowing
for a less expensive electrical installation.
* Quick-connect plugs not available for ATEX version.

The controller consists of a microprocessor central control unit which
features an easy-to-use, touch-sensitive keypad. The operator con-
trols the whole system, including turning receivers on and off, setting
draw times from one central location and starting the systems blower
package.
The Series 4 MPC Controller can be integrated into the K-Tron Smart-
Connex feeder controls, providing one simple control solution for both
feeders and vacuum sequencing receivers. It can operate as a slave
to the K-Vision Line Controller or K-Tron Smart Commander process
visualization software. The unit is shipped pre-programmed, eliminating

LSR Controller
S-501807-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The LSR (Loader, Single Receiver) Controller consolidates several
applications into one system, allowing the LSR to control a K-Tron
Premier vacuum conveyor for pneumatically conveying a wide variety
of bulk materials. The LSR operates with either a self contained loader
or single central receiver with separate blower. This economical
controller provides precise, reliable control for a variety of applica-
tions lling by time or level and various discharge congurations,
including gravity or powered gate.
Features
Simple operation
Robust
Cost effective
Design
The controller is locally mounted with all 24 VDC sensors and actua-
tors pre-wired. An auto-switching power supply accepts either 115 or
230 VAC. The front panel of the controller includes an on/off switch,
a potentiometer to set draw times and multicolored LEDs to indicate:
power/alarm, loading status and dump status. The standard enclosure
is made of durable polycarbonate. ATEX stainless steel version is
available for use in pharmaceutical applications or hazardous loca-
tions. Multicolored LEDs not available for ATEX version.
The LSR Controller allows for nine different operating modes select-
able with internal rotary switch. In addition, a simple to congure
10-position DIP switch programs the units operation such as: pulse
cleaning, purge valve operation (line clearing), ratio loading, alarm-
ing options, etc.
In feeder rell applications, the LSR can also be networked to the
K-Tron Control Module (KCM). This allows monitoring and control of
the LSR via all K-Tron Human-Machine Interfaces, such as the KSU-II
(K-Tron Single Unit Display) or K-Vision Line Controller.
Modes of Operation
1 Self Contained Loader, Gravity Gate Discharge, Fill by Time: A
call for material is established when the gravity gate swings closed.
The LSR powers the self-contained vacuum motor and the loader
lls by time. An alarm is generated if material reaches an optional
high level sensor. After lling the loader dumps immediately via
gravity discharge gate.
2 Self Contained Loader, Gravity Gate Discharge, Fill to Level: A
call for material is established when the gravity gate swings closed.
The LSR powers the self-contained vacuum motor and the loader
lls to the high level sensor. An alarm is generated if material does
not reach the high level sensor within the maximum ll time. After
lling the loader dumps immediately via gravity discharge gate.
3 Single Central Receiver, Gravity Gate Discharge, Fill by Time:
A call for material is established when the gravity gate swings
closed. The LSR controls the ll valve, vacuum breaker valve, and
vacuum pump motor starter; the receiver lls by time. An alarm is
generated if material reaches an optional high level sensor. After
lling the receiver dumps immediately via gravity discharge gate.
4 Single Central Receiver, Gravity Gate Discharge, Fill to Level:
A call for material is established when the gravity gate swings
closed. The LSR controls the ll valve, vacuum breaker valve,
and vacuum pump motor starter; the loader lls to the high level
sensor. An alarm is generated if material does not reach the high
level sensor within the maximum ll time. After lling the receiver
dumps immediately via gravity discharge gate.
5 Self Contained Loader, Powered Gate Discharge, Fill by Time:
A call for material is established when the power gate closes. The
LSR powers the self-contained vacuum motor and the loader lls
by time. An alarm is generated if material reaches an optional
high level sensor. After lling, the loader holds material until a rell
request is received from equipment below (e.g. KCM).
6 Self Contained Loader, Powered Gate Discharge, Fill to Level:
A call for material is established when the power gate closes. The
LSR powers the self-contained vacuum motor and the loader lls
to the high level sensor. An alarm is generated if material does not
reach the high level sensor within the maximum ll time. After ll-
ing, the loader holds material until a rell request is received from
equipment below (e.g. KCM).
7 Single Central Receiver, Powered Gate Discharge, Fill by Time:
A call for material is established when the power gate closes. The
LSR controls the ll valve, vacuum breaker valve, and vacuum
pump motor starter; the receiver lls by time. An alarm is gener-
ated if material reaches an optional high level sensor. After lling,
the receiver holds material until a rell request is received from
equipment below (e.g. KCM).
8 Single Central Receiver, Powered Gate Discharge, Fill to Level:
A call for material is established when the power gate closes. The
LSR controls the ll valve, vacuum breaker valve, and vacuum pump
motor starter and the receiver lls to the high level sensor. An alarm
is generated if material does not reach the high level sensor within
the maximum ll time. After lling, the receiver holds material until
a rell request is received from equipment below (e.g. KCM).
9 UnLoader (Self Contained or Single Central): Switches the self-
contained vacuum motor or vacuum pump motor starter on and off
for predetermined times between 3 and 360 seconds.

2. Reference your system fow drawing and identify
the working components that require inputs and
outputs. Write the quantity of each component in
the Quantity Required columns (both inputs and
outputs). Multiply the quantity by the number of
inputs, placing the product in the input total column.
Repeat the multiplication step for the outputs.
3. Total the input column, placing the sum on the
appropriate line.
4. Total the output column, placing the sum on the
appropriate line.
5. If the total number of inputs is less than or equal to
16, and the total number of outputs is less than or
equal to 10, use the price for the Group A Panel.
6. If the total number of inputs is less than or equal to
24, and the total number of outputs is less than or
equal to 18, use the price for the Group B Panel.
NOTE: If either the total number of inputs is greater than
24 or the total number of outputs is greater than 18, the
panel must be sized and priced by Premiers Electrical
Engineering Department.
MOTOR STARTERS
The input/output listing also shows each component
that has a motor and requires a motor starter. Find the
price for the motor starters, on Page 18-401, which ft
the horsepower for each component and the voltage
available. Write the prices in the spaces provided on
the worksheet. Multiply the price each by the quantity,
and enter the total. Add up these totals to arrive at the
overall total price for the motor starters.
CONTROL TOTAL
Add up the total price for the control panel and the
motor starters. The result is the total cost of the control
panel.

Use worksheet no. D-1 with the following instructions.

Customer Information
Fill in the blanks with information about the customer and job
location. If any of the information is not pertinent to the quota-
tion being prepared, write Not Applicable in the space that is
provided.

Material Test Results
Premiers testing procedures are explained in Section 0. The
results from these tests will be used throughout the instructions
for accurate sizing of all of the components in the system.

Design of the system can be based on a test of the specific
material to be handled or past results from tests that Premier
has conducted. Past test results for a number of materials can
be found in Section 0. In addition, your Customer Service Co-
ordinator can search the computer database of all test results
for materials which may not be listed.

Fill in the material test portion of worksheet no. D-1 with results
for the material to be handled.

Flow Drawing
Draw a flow schematic of the system to be designed. The Pre-
mier template can be used as an aid in drawing the proper
symbols for each piece of equipment. Keep in mind that the
purpose of a flow drawing is to show how each piece of equip-
ment is interconnected. It does not necessarily show the
proper number of elbows or the amount of vertical and horizon-
tal run in a conveying line.
The flow drawing should show the air source, all sources of
material going into the conveying system, all destinations for
the material going out of the conveying system, material air
separation equipment at each destination, and conveying line
and valves to make the interconnections.

Plan View Drawing
Make a drawing of the equipment in position looking down on it
from overhead. Add dimensions to it showing distances be-
tween each of the pieces of equipment and make notes as to
where any vertical sections of conveying line are and their
lengths.

The plan view is just as important as the flow drawing because
looking at the two of them together, an observer can get an
exact picture of the system layout.
Use Worksheet No. D-3 with the following instructions.

Measuring the Route of the Conveying Line
It is necessary to do two different types of calculations for siz-
ing each conveying system because some sections of the con-
veying line have material in the air stream and some do not.
Material Line-The material line includes all of the conveying
line from the first source to the last destination. If there are dif-
ferent routes in the system, the material line calculation should
be based on the longest leg of the system.
Air Only Line-This includes all conveying line handling air only.
Air only line can be in the system before the first source and
after the last destination, as shown in the typical system pic-
tured below. In the second example, notice that the conveying
line after the second destination going back to the source tank
is considered air only, even though a small amount of material
may stay intrained in the air stream.

Using the flow drawing and plan view drawing just completed,
add up all of the horizontal and vertical distances from the first
material source to the last material destination. The length of
each section can be entered into the appropriate column at the
top of worksheet no. D-3 and then the totals added up. Any
sections of the material line which will be hose rather than rigid
line should be entered twice; once in the horizontal or vertical
column, depending on what direction the hose will be running,
and once in the hose distance column.

A column is also provided to tally the number of 90 deg. turns
in the material line path. Both rigid elbows and hose turns
should be included in this total.

Add up the distances for the air only line in the same manner
as was done for the material line, using the columns at the top
of worksheet no. D-3. Notice that for the air only line no distinc-
tion is made between horizontal and vertical runs.

Conveying Rate
The quoted conveying rate is used in the design of the system
should be the instantaneous rate which will satisfy the delivery
rate requirement at the destination expressed in lbs./hr. If a
certain number of pounds of material has to be delivered to the
destination in a period of time which is not an even hourly in-
crement, use the following formula to arrive at the conveying
rate. Write the quoted conveying rate in the space on the work-
sheet.

Lbs. of material Minutes to convey x 60 =Conveying Rate

In systems using Aeropass valves to separate the material
from the air stream at the destination, a small amount of the
material may blow by the Aeropass valve, referred to as
carryover. The design conveying rate must be increased over
the conveying rate, which is quoted to the customer to com-
pensate for the material that does blow by the destination.

If the system uses Aeropass valves at the destination(s), select
the proper carryover factor from the following table and write it
in the space provided on the worksheet.
Particle Size Carryover Factor
Pelletized, large particle materials 1.0
Granular, medium sized particle materials 1.07
Powder, fine particle materials 1.15
Multiply the quoted conveying rate times the carryover factor
and write the result in the space provided on worksheet no. D-3.

Transfer the five system classifications from the material test
result to the spaces provided on worksheet no. D-3.

In the table below, find the acceleration factor for the Fa classi-
fication of the material to be handled. Write the acceleration

Factor Total
On worksheet no. D-3, add the acceleration factor, distance factor,

Write the factor total in the space provided on the worksheet.

On worksheet no. D-1, find the altitude above sea level of the in-
stallation location. Based on the altitude, find the line pressure limi-
tation in the table below and write it in the space provided on work-
sheet no. D-3.

Temperature Limitation
In most systems, the material spends only a few seconds in the
conveying line. However, some materials cannot withstand even a
brief exposure to a higher than ambient temperature condition. If
the material to be conveyed is heat sensitive, find out from the cus-
tomer the highest air temperature that the material can withstand a
brief exposure to, and write it in the space labeled material sensi-
tivity temperature on worksheet no. D-3. Find the highest ambient
temperature at the installation location on worksheet no. D-1 and
write it in the space provided on worksheet no. D-3. Subtract the
highest ambient temperature from the material sensitivity tempera-
ture and divide by 13.5. Write the result in the space labeled PSI
under temperature limitation on worksheet no. D-3.
Reading the Pressure Graphs
The graphs that follow are for 2" through 6" conveying lines.
The conveying capabilities are listed in the vertical scale of
each graph. Find the graph for the smallest line size that has
the design conveying rate for the system within the range of its
vertical scale. From the point at which the design conveying
rate appears on the vertical scale, move horizontally to the right
until intersecting the inclined line labeled with the factor total for
the system as computed on worksheet no. D-3. If the factor
total lies between two of the plotted diagonal lines, approximate
the position. If the line representing the design conveying rate
and the factor total do not intersect, turn to the graph fro the
next largest line size and try again.

From the point of intersection, move vertically down the graph
and read the pressure off the horizontal scale. This pressure
must not exceed either the altitude limitation or the temperature
limitation as computed on worksheet no. D-3. If either of the
two are exceeded, turn to the next largest line size. Repeat this
procedure until a pressure is read from the graph which is less
than or equal to either the altitude limitation or the temperature
limitation, whichever is smaller. Write the pressure in the space
on worksheet no. D-3 labeled pressure read from graph. Cir-
cle the nominal line size on worksheet no. D-3 for the graph
from which the pressure was read.

Conveying Line Selection
To select between outside diameter tubing, Schedule
10 pipe or Schedule 40 pipe, consider the following
points:
O.D. tubing is less expensive than either Sch. 10
or Sch. 40 pipe.
Sch. 40 pipe has the thickest wall of the three,
hence better resistance against abrasive prod-
ucts.
In a given material of construction (i.e. stainless
steel) straight sections and elbows may not be
available in all sizes.
Customer preference.
When the conveying line type has been selected,
circle it on worksheet no. D-3.

Conveying Line Pressure
In the table at the top of the next column, line pres-
sure multipliers are listed for the three conveying line
types in all five sizes. Select the multiplier for the size
and type of conveying line and write it in the space

Put an X in front of butterfly valves if the system design
calls for their use in the air only line. Butterfly valves can
only be used in the air only line, and not in the material
line. Determine the maximum number of butterfly valves
that the air will pass through in series and write it in the
space provided on the worksheet. Multiply the maximum
number of valves in series times the resistance for each
valve and write the result in the space provided on the
right hand side of the worksheet.

Diverter valves can be used in both the material line
and air only line. If diverter valves are to be used in the
system, put an X in the box in front of diverter valves and
count the maximum number of valves the air and mate-
rial will pass through in series. Write this number in the
space provided on the worksheet and multiply it times
the resistance per diverter valve. Write the result in the
space on the right hand side of the worksheet.

If a cyclone will be used as a material-air separator in
the system design, put an X in the box and write the re-
sistance in the space on the right hand side of the work-
sheet.

If a Filtair bin vent or receiver is used as a material-air
separator, determine whether it will have a fan on it. If it
will not have a fan, put an X in the box that notes this
and write the resistance in the space on the right hand
side of the worksheet. If the Filtair will have a fan, there
is no additional resistance added to the system design
for the Filtair. Put an X in the box if this is the case.

A static bag filter is one that has no automatic filter
cleaning mechanism. This type of filter can only be used
with materials that have a very low fine particle content,
for example, some virgin plastic pellets. If a static bag
filter is used in the system, put an X in the box and write
the resistance in the space on the right hand side of the
worksheet.

In closed loop systems using Aeropass valves, only the
valve that is actuated during the delivery cycle causes
resistance in the system. Therefore, regardless of how
many Aeropass valves are in the system, only the resis-
tance for one needs to be included in the system design.
If the system design includes Aeropass valves, put an X
in the box and write the resistance in the space on the
right hand side of the worksheet.


If the system design calls for a 1024 car unloader, put
an X in the box and write the resistance in the space on
the right hand side of the worksheet.
Most manufacturers of inline pressure sifters specify in
their literature that the pressure drop through the sifter is
something less than 1 PSI. This does not concur with
Premiers experience, and therefore the worksheet lists
a considerably higher resistance. If an inline pressure
sifter is used in the system, put an X in the box and write
the resistance in the space on the right hand side of the
worksheet.

Aftercoolers are used to cool the temperature of the
discharge air from the blower when a material is heat
sensitive. The smaller the after cooler is, the higher the
resistance is through the after cooler, and the lower the
cost of the unit. Normally, a good compromise point be-
tween resistance and cost is to have the after cooler
sized so that it causes about 1.0 PSI pressure drop. Put
an X in the box and write the resistance on the right
hand side of the worksheet if an after cooler is used in
the system design.

If any other accessories are used in the system design,
but are not listed, write them in on the spaces provided.

Air Leakage Through Aerolocks
In a pressure system, the Aerolock performs much the
same function that a revolving door does on a building; it
regulates the flow of the material into the conveying line
without allowing all of the conveying air to escape. How-
ever, a certain amount of air does escape through the
clearances between the rotor and the housing, and in
each pocket of the rotor as it turns. Additional air must
be added to the system design to insure that an ade-
quate amount of air is left in the system after the leakage
through the Aerolocks. To determine how much will leak
through the Aerolocks, turn to Section 1 of this catalog
and follow the instructions to size all of the Aerolocks in
the system. If the system includes a 1024 car unloader,
turn to Section 7 to find the amount of air that will leak
through its two integral Aerlocks. When you have fin-
ished, return to these instructions.
Turn to Section 1 for Aerolocks.
Turn to Section 7 for 1024 Car Unloader.
Now that the Aerolocks have been sized, look at the flow
drawing of the system and determine which Aerolock(s)
the material will be entering the system through. Aero-
locks that are used to meter the material out of the desti-
nation, or for any purpose other than introducing material
into the system, will not have an effect on the system air
volume requirements. Write the model and size of each
Aerolock that the material will enter the system through
in the spaces provided on worksheet no. D-3. Write the
air leakage for each of those Aerolocks, as computed in

Section 1, in the spaces provided on the right hand side
of the worksheet. The worksheet has room for four Aero-
locks to be used as material entry points. If the system
design calls for more than four, special considerations
may have to be taken in the design; consult the factory.

If a 1024 car unloader is being used, put an X in the box
provided on worksheet no. D-3 and write the air leakage
in the space provided on the right hand side of the work-
sheet, as computed in Section 7.

Column Totals
Add up the totals in each of the three columns on the
right hand side of worksheet no. D-3 and write them in
the spaces provided.

Component Selection and Sizing
Worksheet no. D-3 is now complete, providing the infor-
mation that is necessary to size the material air separa-
tor(s) and the pressure blower. Turn to Section 4, Sepa-
rators, and complete the instructions in that section.
Turn to Section 5, Blowers, and complete the instruc-
tions in that section. When you have finished, return to
these instructions.
Turn to Section 4 for Separators.
Turn to Section 5 for Blowers.
Now that the separator(s) and the blower have been
sized, the pricing/quotation write-up can begin. The rest
of the components and accessories in the system will be
sized as they are priced up.

Pricing and Quotation Write-up
At this point, if it hasnt already been done, assign item
numbers to each component in the system. Do not use
the same item number for like components, for example
two Aerolocks that are the same size and running at the
same speed. Assign a separate item number for each
and every component.

The item number breakdown should be as detailed as
the standard quotation write-up format. For example, if
there is a stack up underneath the discharge of a tank
that includes an Aerolock with drive, vented shear pro-
tector, maintenance slide gate, and a hopper adapter,
do not assign one item number to the entire group, but
rather a separate item number for each piece. Let the
quotation write-up forms be the guide to determining the
details which item numbers are assigned to.

Use the Premier quotation write-up forms with the
following instructions.

Describe and price each piece in the system in the order
that the item numbers have been assigned using the
quotation write-up forms. When all of the components
have been priced, remember to add in the charge for
factory start-up as specified in Section 0.
Quotation Review
Premier encourages you to call your Customer Service
Coordinator to review the design and pricing of each sys-
tem quotation before it is presented to the customer. We
do recognize that the quotation turn-around time on
some small systems utilizing completely standard com-
ponents may not allow for this review. However, we do
require a review of all system quotations that include
buyouts and/or total more than $50,000.00.

Typing and Flow Drawing
The quotation should be typed on the multiple copy Pre-
mier Quotation Form. Send the Engineering copy, File
copy, and Sales Manager copy to Premier along with
copies of your worksheet and quotation write-up/pricing
forms.

If you prefer, Premier will do the typing and prepare an
engineered flow drawing for presentation to the cus-
tomer. Simply send in your worksheets and quotation
write-up and Premier will do the rest.

tion being prepared, write Not Applicable in the space that is
provided.

Material Test Results
Premiers testing procedures are explained in Section 0. The
results from these tests will be used throughout the instructions
for accurate sizing of all of the components in the system.

Design of the system can be based on a test of the specific
material to be handled or past results from tests that Premier
has conducted. Past test results for a number of materials can
be found in Section 0. In addition, your Customer Service Co-
ordinator can search the computer file of all test results for
materials which may not be listed.

Fill in the material test portion of worksheet no. D-1 with results
for the material to be handled.

Flow Drawing
Draw a flow schematic of the system to be designed. The Pre-
mier template can be used as an aid in drawing the proper
symbols for each piece of equipment. Keep in mind that the
purpose of a flow drawing is to show how each piece of equip-
ment is interconnected. It does not necessarily show the
proper number of elbows or the amount of vertical and horizon-
tal run in a conveying line.
The flow drawing should show the air source, all sources
of material going into the conveying system, all destina-
tions for the material going out of the conveying system,
material air separation equipment at each destination, and
conveying line and valves to make the interconnections.

Plan View Drawing
Make a drawing of the equipment in position looking down
on it from overhead. Add dimensions to it showing dis-
tances between each of the pieces of equipment and
make notes as to where any vertical sections of conveying
line are located and their length.

The plan view is just as important as the flow drawing be-
cause looking at the two of them together, an observer
can get an exact picture of the system layout.

Use worksheet no. D-4 with the following instructions.

Measuring the Route of the Conveying Line
It is necessary to do two different types of calculations for
sizing each conveying system because some sections of
the conveying line have material in the air stream and
some do not.
Material Line-The material line includes all of the convey-
ing line from the first source to the last destination. If there
are different routes in the system, the material line calcula-
tions should be based on the longest leg of the system.
Air Only Line This includes all conveying line handling
air only. Air only line can be in the system before the first
source and after the last destination, as shown in the typi-
cal system pictured below.

Using the flow drawing and plan view drawing just completed, add
up all of the horizontal and vertical distances from the first material
source to the last material destination. The length of each section
can be entered into the appropriate column at the top of worksheet
no. D-4 and then the totals added up. Any sections of the material
line that will be hose rather than rigid line should be entered twice;
once in the horizontal or vertical column, depending on what direc-
tion the hose will be running, and once in the hose distance col-
umn.

A column is also provided to tally the number of 90 deg. turns in
the material line path. Both rigid elbows and hose turns should be
included in this total.

Add up the distances for the air only line in the same manner as
was done for the material line using the columns at the top of work-
sheet no. D-4. Notice that for the air only line, no distinction is made
between horizontal and vertical runs.

Conveying Rate
The quoted conveying rate should be the instantaneous rate which
will satisfy the delivery rate requirement at the destination ex-
pressed in lbs./hr. If a certain number of pounds of material has to
be delivered to the destination in a period of time that is not an
even hourly increment, use the following formula to arrive at the
conveying rate. Write the quoted conveying rate in the space on the
worksheet.

Lbs. of material Minutes to convey x 60 =Conveying Rate

In most vacuum systems, no allowance needs to be made for carry-
over and therefore the design conveying rate is the same as the
quoted conveying rate. Carryover refers to a small amount of mate-
rial that may stay entrained in the air stream and bypass the sepa-
rator at the destination. Because any material that does carryover
will eventually plug up the inline secondary filter, vacuum systems
designed to handle powders or materials with some fine particles
should be designed with a filter receiver at the destination(s), elimi-
nating carryover. There is one exception to this rule; if a cyclone is
being used as a primary separator for the material at the destina-
tion, and then a filter-receiver will be used as a secondary separa-
tor down stream from the cyclone, the system will function properly,
but depending on the particle size of the material being conveyed,
there may be some carryover past the destination.
In systems using a cyclone as the primary separator at the destina-
tion, select the proper carryover factor from the following table and
write it in the space provided on the worksheet.
Particle Size Carryover Factor
Pelletized, large particle materials 1.0
Granular, medium sized particle materials 1.07
Powder, fine particle materials 1.15
Multiply the quoted conveying rate times the carryover factor
and write the result in space provided on worksheet no. D-4.

System Sizing Classifications
Transfer the five system sizing classifications from the material
test results to the spaces provided on worksheet no. D-4.

Flow Factor
The flow factor compensates for the increased resistance in a
system where the material is picked-up at the source through a
tank probe or box probe. If the system being designed uses an
Aerolock to meter the material into the conveying line, there is
no increased resistance; put a 0 (zero) in the space labeled
flow factor on worksheet no. D-4 and proceed to the next
step.

If the material will enter the system through a probe, look in the
table below and find the flow factor based on the Ff classifica-
tion of the material to be handled. Write the flow factor in the

Reading the Vacuum Graphs
The graphs that follow are for 2" through 6" conveying lines.
The conveying capabilities are listed in the vertical scale of
each graph. Find the graph for the smallest line size that has
the design conveying rate for the system within the range of its
vertical scale. From the point at which the design conveying
rate appears on the vertical scale, move horizontally to the right
until intersecting the inclined line labeled with the factor total for
the system as computed on worksheet no. D-4. If the factor
total lies between two of the plotted diagonal lines, approximate
the position. If the lines representing the design conveying rate
and the factor total do not intersect, turn to the graph for the
next largest line size and try again.

From the point of intersection, move vertically down the graph
and read the vacuum off the horizontal scale. This vacuum
must not exceed the altitude limitation on worksheet no. D-4; if
it does, turn to the next largest line size. Repeat this procedure
until a vacuum is read from the graph that is less than or equal
to the altitude limitation. Write the vacuum in the space on
worksheet no. D-4 labeled vacuum read from graph. Circle
the nominal line size on worksheet no. D-4 for the graph from
which the vacuum was read.

Conveying Line Selection
To select between outside diameter tubing, Schedule 10 pipe
or Schedule 40 pipe, consider the following points:
O.D. tubing is less expensive than either Sch. 10 or Sch.
40 pipe.
Sch. 40 pipe has the thickest wall of the three, hence
better resistance against abrasive products.
In a given material of construction (i.e. stainless steel)
straight sections and elbows may not be available in all
sizes.

Pressure Drop For Components and Accessories
If the blower will be equipped with an inlet silencer, put an X
in the box and write the resistance in the space on the right
hand side of the worksheet.

If the system includes an outlet silencer for the blower, put an
X in the box in front of outlet silencer and write the resistance
in the space on the right hand side of the worksheet.

An inline secondary filter is included in all vacuum systems
to protect the blower from any material that might get past the
material air separation equipment at the destination. It is an
inexpensive piece of insurance against destroying the blower if
a bag in the destination filter receiver ruptures of some unan-
ticipated fine materials get past a cyclone separator.

Put an X in front of butterfly val ves if the system design calls
for their use in the air only line. Butterfly valves can only be
used in the air only line, and not in the material line. Determine
the maximum number of butterfly valves that the air will pass
through in series and write it in the space provided on the
worksheet. Multiply the maximum number of valves in series
times the resistance for each valve and write the result in the
space provided on the right hand side of the worksheet.

Premier flapper style di verter val ves are designed to be used
in pressure systems only; do not attempt to use them in a vac-
uum system. Knife gates or plug style diverter val ves are
used to select the route of the conveying line rather than flap-
per style diverter valves in a vacuum system. If knife gates or
plug diverters will be used in the system design, put an X in the
space provided on the worksheet. Note that there is no in-
creased resistance.

If a cyclone will be used as a material-air separator in the sys-
tem design, put an X in the box and write the resistance in the
space on the right hand side of the worksheet.

If a Filtair recei ver is used as either a primary or secondary
material-air separator, put an X in the box and write the resis-
tance in the space on the right hand side of the worksheet.

If any other accessories are used in the system design, but
are not listed, write them in the spaces provided.

Air Leakage Through Aerolocks
In a vacuum system, the Aerolock performs much the same
function that a revolving door does on a building; it allows the
material to drop out at the destination of the conveying system
without allowing outside air to leak in. However, a certain
amount of air does leak through the clearances between the
rotor and the housing, and in each pocket of the rotor as it
turns. Additional air must be added to the system design to
insure that an adequate amount of air is being drawn through
the system after the leakage through the Aerolocks. To deter-
mine how much will leak through the Aerolocks, turn to Section
1 of this catalog and follow the instructions in that section to
size all of the Aerolocks in the system. When you are finished,
return to these instructions.
Turn to Section 1 for Aerolocks

Now that the Aerolocks have been sized, look at the flow draw-
ing of the system and determine which Aerolock(s) the material
will be exiting the system through. Aerolocks which are used to
meter the material into the system, or for any purpose other
than at the exit point(s), will not have an effect on the system
air volume requirements. If there is more than one material exit
Aerolock, select the one that has the largest air leakage and
write the model and size of that Aerolock in the space provided
on worksheet no. D-4 labeled Primary. Write the air leakage
for that Aerolock, as computed in Section 1, in the space pro-
vided on the right hand side of the worksheet.

If the system utilizes primary and secondary separation, and
both separators will have Aerolocks on them, write the model
and size of the secondary Aerolock in the space provided on
the worksheet. Write the air leakage, as computed in Section
1, in the space provided on the right hand side of the work-
sheet.

Multiple Sources and Destinations
The drawing below depicts a system which has multiple
sources in series, and multiple destinations.
The following rules govern the design of systems which have
multiple material sources in line and/or multiple destinations:
If the system design calls for two material sources in line,
more than 20 ft. apart, each source point must have a
knife gate to seal it off when the material is entering the
system at the other point. The knife gate should be the
same diameter as the Aerolock and it should be posi-
tioned on the bottom side of the Aerolock.
If the system design calls for three or more material
source points in line, no matter what the distance between
then, each point must have a knife gate as described
above.
If the system design calls for more than one material des-
tination point, each destination must have a knife gate on
the material side and a butterfly valve on the air only side
to seal it off when it is not receiving material.

Column Totals
Add up the total in each of the three columns on the right hand
side of worksheet no. D-4 and write then in the spaces pro-
vided.
Component Selection and Sizing
Worksheet no. D-4 is now complete, providing the information
that is necessary to size the material air separator(s) and the
vacuum blower. Turn to Section 4, Separators, and complete
the instructions in that section. Turn to Section 5, Blowers, and
complete the instructions in that section. When you have fin-
ished, return to these instructions.
Turn to Section 4 for Separators.
Turn to Section 5 for Blowers.
Now that the separator(s) and the blower have been sized, the
pricing/quotation write-up can begin. The rest of the compo-
nents and accessories in the system will be sized as they are
priced up.

Pricing and Quotation Write-up
At this point, if it hasnt already been done, assign item num-
bers to each component in the system. Do not use the same
item number for like components, for example two Aerolocks
that are the same size and running at the same speed: assign
a separate item number for each and every component.

The item number breakdown should be as detailed as the
standard quotation write-up format. For example, if there is a
stack up underneath the discharge of a tank that includes an
Aerolock with drive, vented shear protector, maintenance slide
gate, and a hopper adapter; dont assign one item number to
the entire group, but rather a separate item number for each
piece. Let the quotation write-up forms be the guide to deter-
mining the details which item numbers are assigned to.
Use the Premier quotation write-up forms with the follow-
ing instructions.
Describe and price each piece in the system in the order that
the item numbers have been assigned using the quotation
write-up forms. When all of components have been priced,
remember to add in the charge for factory start-up as specified
in Section 0.

Quotation Review
Premier encourages you to call your Customer Service Coordi-
nator to review the design and pricing of each system quota-
tion before it is presented to the customer. We do recognize
that the quotation turn-around time on some small systems
utilizing completely standard components may not allow for
this review. However, we do require a review of all system
quotations that include buyouts and/or total more than
$50,000.00.

Typing and Flow Drawing
The quotation should be typed on the multiple copy Premier
Quotation Form. Send the Engineering copy, File copy, and
Sales Manager copy to Premier along with copies of your
worksheets and quotation write-up/pricing forms.

If you prefer, Premier will do the typing and prepare an engi-
neered flow drawing for presentation to the customer. Simply
send in your worksheets and quotation write-up and Premier
will do the rest.

Material Test Results
Premiers testing procedures are explained in Section 0.
The results from these tests will be used throughout the

Design of the system can be based on a test of the spe-
cific material to be handled or past results from tests that
Premier has conducted. Past test results for a number of
materials can be found in Section 0. In addition, your Cus-
tomer Service Coordinator can search the computer file of
all test results for materials which may not be listed.

Fill in the material test portion of worksheet no. D-1 with
results for the material to be handled.

Use Worksheet No. D-2 with the following instruc-
tions.

Flow Drawing
Draw a flow schematic of the system to be designed. The
Premier template can be used as an aid in drawing the
proper symbols for each piece of equipment. Keep in mind
that the purpose of a flow drawing is to show how each
piece of equipment is interconnected. It does not neces-
sarily show the proper number of elbows or the amount of
vertical and horizontal run in conveying line.
The flow drawing should show the air sources for both the
vacuum and the pressure sides, all sources of material going
into the system, the filter or cyclone receiver group, all desti-
nations for the material going out of the system, material air
separation equipment at each destination, and conveying
line and valves to make the interconnections.

Plan View Drawing
On worksheet no. D-2, make a drawing of the equipment in
position looking down on it from overhead. Add dimensions
to it showing distances between each of the pieces of equip-
ment and make notes as to where any vertical sections of
conveying line are located and their length.

The plan view is just as important as the flow drawing be-
cause looking at the two of them together, an observer can
get an exact picture of the system layout.

Separate Calculations for Vacuum and Pressure
The vacuum side of the system will be sized first. The in-
structions will dictate when to switch over to the pressure
side and size it.
Use Worksheet No. D-4 with the following instructions.

Measure the Route of the Conveying Line-Vacuum Side
It is necessary to do two different types of calculations for
sizing each conveying system because some sections of the
conveying line have material in the air stream and some do
not.
Material Line The material line includes all of the convey-
ing line from the first source to the transfer point where the
material goes into the pressure side. If there are different
routes in the system, the material line calculations should be
based on the longest leg of the system.

Air Only LineThis includes all conveying line handling
air only. Air only line is normally confined to the line used
to connect the vacuum blower to the receiver (cyclone of
filter) at the transfer point.

Using the flow drawing and plan view drawing just com-
pleted, add up all of the horizontal and vertical distances
from the first material source to the receiver. The length of
each section can be entered into the appropriate column
at the top of worksheet no. D-4 and then the totals added
up. Any sections of the material line which will be hose
rather than rigid line should be entered twice; once in the
horizontal or vertical column, depending on what direction
the hose will be running, and once in the hose distance
column.

A column is also provided to tally the number of 90 deg.
turns in the material line path. Both rigid elbows and hose
turns should be included in this total.

Add up the distances for the air only line in the same man-
ner as was done for the material line using the columns at
the top of worksheet no. D-4. Notice that for the air only
line, no distinction is made between horizontal and vertical
runs.

Conveying Rate
The quoted conveying rate should be the instantaneous
rate which will satisfy the delivery rate requirement at the
destination expressed in lbs./hr. If a certain number of
pounds of material has to be delivered to the destination in
a period of time which is not an even hourly increment,
use the following formula to arrive at the conveying rate.

Lbs. of material Minutes to convey x 60=Conveying Rate

In most vacuum/pressure systems, no allowance needs to
be made for carryover and therefore the design conveying
rate is the same as the quoted conveying rate. Carryover
refers to a small amount of material which may stay en-
trained in the air stream and bypass the separator at the
transfer point. Because any material that does carryover
will eventually plug up the inline secondary filter, vacuum/
pressure systems designed to handle powders or materi-
als with some fine particles should be designed with a filter
receiver at the transfer point, eliminating carryover.

Write the conveying rate in the space provided on the
worksheet labeled Quoted Conveying Rate. Draw a line
through the space labeled Carry-Over Factor. In the
space labeled Design Conveying Rate write same to
indicate that the design conveying rate is the same as the
quoted conveying rate.

System Sizing Classifications
Transfer the five system classifications from the material
test results to the space provide on worksheet no. D-4.

Flow Factor
The flow factor compensates for the increased resistance
in a system where the material is picked-up at the source
through a tank probe, box probe, or pneumatic railcar out-
let. If the system being designed uses an Aerolock to me-
ter the material into the vacuum line, there is no increased
resistance. Put an 0 in the space labeled flow factor on
worksheet no. D-4, if this is the case, and proceed to the

proximate the position. If the lines representing the design
conveying rate and the factor total do not intersect, turn to the
graph for the next largest line size and try again.

From the point of intersection, move vertically down the graph
and read the vacuum off the horizontal scale. This vacuum
must not exceed the altitude limitation on worksheet no. D-4; if
it does, turn to the next largest line size. Repeat the procedure
until a vacuum is read from the graph that is less than or equal
to the altitude limitation. Write the vacuum in the space on
worksheet no. D-4 labeled vacuum read from graph. Circle

An inline secondary filter is included in the vacuum side of all
vacuum/pressure systems to protect the blower from any material
that might get past the receiver at the transfer point. It is an inex-
pensive piece of insurance against destroying the blower if a bag in
the filter receiver ruptures of some unanticipated fine materials get
past a cyclone separator.

Put an X in front of butterfly val ves if the system design calls for
their use in the air only line. Butterfly valves can only be used in the
air only line, and not in the material line. Determine the maximum
number of butterfly valves that the air will pass through in series

rather than flapper style diverter valves. If knife gates or plug divert-
ers will be used in the system design, put an X in the space pro-
vided on the worksheet. Note that there is no increased resistance.

Measuring the Route of the Conveying Line-Pressure Side
Like the vacuum side, the pressure side is divided into two
types of calculations:
Material Line-The material line includes all of the conveying
line from the receiver at the transfer point to the last destina-
tion. If there are different routes in the system, the material line
calculations should be based on the longest leg of the system.
Air Only Line-This includes all conveying line handling air
only. Air only line can be in the pressure side before the re-
ceiver and after the last destination.

Using the flow drawing and plan view drawing, add up all of the
horizontal and vertical distances from the receiver at the trans-
fer point to the last material destination. The length of each
section can be entered into the appropriate column at the top
of worksheet no. D-3 and then the totals added up. Any sec-
tions of the material line that will be hose rather than rigid line
should be entered twice; once in the horizontal or vertical col-
umn, depending on what direction the hose will be running,
and once in the hose distance column.
A column is also provided to tally the number of 90 deg. turns
in the material line path. Both rigid elbows and hose turns
should be included in this total.

Add up the distances for the air only line in the same manner
as was done for the material line, using the columns at the top
of worksheet no. D-3. Notice that for the air only line, no dis-
tinction is made between horizontal and vertical runs.

Conveying Rate
The conveying rate used in the design of the pressure side of
the system should be the same rate as was used to design the
vacuum side. Write the conveying rate in the space labeled
Quoted Conveying Rate on worksheet no. D-3. Put a line
through the space labeled Carryover Factor, and write same
in the space labeled Design Conveying Rate.

Temperature Limitation
In most systems, the material spends only a few seconds in
the conveying line. However, some materials cannot withstand
even a brief exposure to a higher than ambient temperature
condition. If the material to be conveyed is heat sensitive, find
out from the customer the highest air temperature that the ma-
terial can withstand a brief exposure to and write it in the space
labeled material sensitivity temperature on worksheet no. D-

Reading the Pressure Graphs
The graphs that follows are for 2" through 6" conveying lines.
The conveying capabilities are listed in the vertical scale of
each graph. Find the graph for the smallest line size that has
the design conveying rate for the system within the range of its
vertical scale. From the point at which the design conveying
rate appears on the vertical scale, move horizontally to the
right until intersecting the inclined line labeled with the factor
total for the pressure side of the system as computed on work-
sheet no. D-3. If the factor total lies between two of the repre-
senting the design conveying rate and the factor total do not
intersect, turn to the graph for the next largest line size and try
again.

From the point of intersection, move vertically down the graph
and read the pressure off the horizontal scale. This pressure
must not exceed either the altitude limitation or the tempera-
ture limitation as computed on worksheet no. D-3. If either of
the two are exceeded, turn to the next largest line size. Repeat
this procedure until a pressure is read from the graph which is
less than or equal to either the altitude limitation or the tem-
perature limitation, whichever is smaller. Write the pressure in
the space on worksheet no. D-3 labeled pressure read from
graph. Circle the nominal line size on worksheet no. D-3 for

If the system design includes an outlet silencer for the
blower, put an X in the box in front of outlet silencer and
write the resistance in the space on the right hand side
of the worksheet.

If the blower will be equipped with an inlet filter si-
lencer, put an X in the box and write the resistance in
the space on the right hand side of the worksheet.

Put an X in front of butterfly valves if the system design
calls for their use in the air only line. Butterfly valves can
only be used in the air only line, and not in the material
line. Determine the maximum number of butterfly valves
that the air will pass through in series and write it in the
space provided on the worksheet. Multiply the maximum
number of valves in series times the resistance for each
valve and write the result in the space provided on the
right hand side of the worksheet.

Diverter valves can be used in both the material line
and air only line. If diverter valves are to be used in the
system, put an X in the box in front of diverter valves and
count the maximum number of valves the air and mate-
rial will pass through in series. Write this number in the
space provided on the worksheet and multiply it times
the resistance per diverter valve. Write the result in the
space on the right hand side of the worksheet.

If a cyclone will be used as a material-air separator at
the destination(s), put an X in the box and write the re-
sistance in the space on the right hand side of the work-
sheet.

If a Filtair bin vent or receiver is used as a material-air
separator at the destination(s), determine whether it will
have a fan on it. If it will not have a fan, put an X in the
box that notes this and write the resistance in the space
on the right hand side of the worksheet. If the Filtair will
have a fan, there is no additional resistance added to the
system design for the Filtair. Put an X in the box if this is
the case.

A static bag filter is one which has no automatic filter
cleaning mechanism. This type of filter can only be used
with materials that have a very low fine particle content,
for example, some virgin plastic pellets. If a static bag
filter is used in the system, put an X in the box and write
the resistance in the space on the right hand side of the
worksheet.

Aeropass valves are not used in vacuum/pressure sys-
tems because there is no place to return the material
and air when the line is purged.


Because the material is being drawn into the system by
vacuum, there is no application for a 1024 Car Unloader
in a vacuum/pressure system.

Most manufactures of inline pressure sifters specify in
their literature that the pressure drop through the sifter is
something less than 1 PSI. This does not concur with
Premiers experience, and therefore the worksheet lists
a considerably higher resistance. If an inline pressure
sifter is used in the system, put an X in the box and write
the resistance in the space on the right hand side of the
worksheet.

Aftercoolers are used to cool the temperature of the
discharge air from the blower when a material is heat
sensitive. The smaller the after cooler, the higher the
resistance is through the after cooler, and the lower the
cost of the unit. Normally, a good compromise point be-
tween resistance and cost is to have the after cooler
sized so that it causes about 1.0 PSI pressure drop. Put
an X in the box and write the resistance on the right
hand side of the worksheet if an after cooler is used in
the system design.

If any other accessories are used in the system design,
but are not listed, write them in the spaces provided.

Air Leakage Through Aerolocks
In a vacuum pressure system, the pressure differential
across the Aerolock at the transfer point is determined
by the conveying line vacuum of the vacuum side and
the conveying line pressure of the pressure side. The
material inlet side of the Aerolock sees the conveying
line vacuum and the material outlet side sees the con-
veying line pressure. Because of this pressure differen-
tial, a certain amount of air escapes from the pressure
side into the vacuum side through the Aerolock. This
escaping air, called air leakage, takes away from the
performance of both sides. Therefore additional air must
be added to the system design for both sides to insure
that an adequate amount of air is available to do the
conveying. To determine how much air will leak through
the Aerolock at the transfer point, turn to Section 1 of
this catalog and follow the instructions in that section.
When you have finished, return to these instructions.
Turn to Section 1 for Aerolocks.
Now that the Aerolock has been sized, write the model
and size in the spaces provided on worksheets no. D-3
and D-4. Write the air leakage for the Aerolock as com-
puted in Section 1 in the spaces provided on the right
hand side of worksheets no. D-3 and D-4.

Column Totals
Add up the total in each of the three columns on the right
hand side of worksheet no. D-3 and write them in the
spaces provided. Do the same on worksheet no. D-4.

Component Selection and Sizing
Worksheets no. D-3 and D-4 are now complete, provid-
ing the information that is necessary to size the material
air separator(s) and the blowers. Turn to Section 4,
Separators, and complete the instructions in that sec-
tion. Turn to Section 5, Blowers, and complete the in-
structions in that section. When you have finished, return
to these instructions.
Turn to Section 4 for Separators.
Turn to Section 5 for Blowers.
Now that the separator(s) and the blower have been
sized, the pricing/quotation write-up can begin. The rest
of the components and accessories in the system will be
sized as they are priced up.

Pricing and Quotation Write-up
At this point, if it hasnt already been done, assign item
numbers to each component in the system. Do not use
the same item number for like components, for example
two Aerolocks that are the same size and running at the
same speed. Assign a separate item number for each
and every component.

The item number breakdown should be as detailed as
the standard quotation write-up format. For example, if
there is a stack up underneath the discharge of the re-
ceiver at the transfer point that includes an Aerolock with
drive, vented shear protector, maintenance slide gate,
and a hopper adapter, dont assign one item number to
the entire group, but rather a separate item number for
each piece. Let the quotation write-up forms be the
guide to determining the details which item numbers are
assigned to.

Use the Premier quotation write-up forms with the
following instructions.

Describe and price each piece in the system in the order
that the item numbers have been assigned using the
quotation write-up forms. When all of the components
have been priced, remember to add in the charge for
factory start-up as specified in Section 0.

Quotation Review
Premier encourages you to call your Customer Service
Coordinator to review the design and pricing of each
system quotation before it is presented to the customer.
We do recognize that the quotation turn-around time on
some small systems utilizing completely standard com-
ponents may not allow for this review. However, we do
require a review of all system quotations that include
buyouts and/or total more than $50,000.00.


Typing and Flow Drawing
The quotation should be typed on the multiple copy, Pre-
mier Quotation Form. Send the Engineering copy, File
copy, and Sales Manager copy to Premier along with
copies of your worksheets and quotation write-up/pricing
forms.

If you prefer, Premier will do the typing and prepare an
engineered flow drawing for presentation to the cus-
tomer. Simply send in your worksheets and quotation
write-up and Premier will do the rest.

To Calculate the Equivalent Distance:
1. Take the overall length in feet of conveying
line (piping used for containing solids being
conveyed between source and destination)
including horizontal and vertical conveying
line, flexible hose and elbows, and add to it
the following:
2. One times the number of feet of flexible hose
(usually 45 feet).
3. One times the number of feet of vertical rise.
4. Twenty times the quantity of 90 elbows.
5. 90 (derived by multiplying 30 times 3-90
bends in the flexible hose).
Example

(150 ft. of horizontal
and vertical tubing =195
plus 45 ft. of hose)


(1 x 45 ft. hose) =45

(1 x 50 ft. vertical rise) =50

(20 x 3-90 elbows) =60

(90) =90

Elements of a
VacuumConveying System
From pick-up spike to piping to receivers and vacuum pumps,
Premier offers a wide range of equipment for pneumatic convey-
ing needs, whether for automated refill of feeding systems or as
stand-alone conveying applications.
The list below features the varied elements available from Premier
for building a complete conveying system for loss-in-weight feeder
refill as pictured in the diagram below left.
Material Pick-up
From simple suction wands for free flowing materials to fully
fluidized feed bins (1), silo pick-up pots (2) or bag dump stations
(3) with pre-feeders for powders, Premier offers a wide variety of
equipment to ensure reliable material pick-up into the conveying
air.
Conveying Line
Connecting one or multiple material pick up stations to a vacuum
receiver. To ensure blockage-free conveying, diverter valves (4)
and line clearance valves (5) are available in addition to the pip-
ing (6).
Vacuum Receivers
Various models of central (7) and self-contained receivers are
available to separate the material from the conveying air stream,
alternating between suction and discharge modes of operation.
Sequence & Vent Valves
Sequence & vent valves (8) allow the air stream to bypass and
vent the vacuum receiver during the discharge cycle.
Pump Packages
Vacuum pump packages include the pump -- regenerative blower
(9), positive displacement blower (10) -- to produce the air
stream as well a bypass valve (11) to allow the pump to run while
no receiver is conveying and a secondary filter (12) to protect the
vacuum pump from entrance of foreign bodies.
Controls
Controllers and operator interfaces are available for single central
or self-contained units. To control the sequence of a multi-com-
ponent system, Microprocessor and PLC controls (13) are avail-
able which are programmed to suit the clients process. Siemens,
Mitsubishi and Allen Bradley PLC controls are available.

The K-Tron Premier P10 is designed to convey powders and meets
the rigid 3A Dairy sanitary requirements. With the choice of various
discharge valve types (powered ap and active driven buttery valves)
the P10 can be used for conveying only applications such as hopper
loading, as well as loss-in-weight feeder rell applications, where the
receiver is not always emptied completely.
Design
The P10 receiver is available in two outlet congurations: powered
ap valve (FP) or buttery valve (BV). The receiver body is made of
stainless steel (DIN 1.4404, AISI 316L), with internal and external
electropolished surface passivation. The modular and non hollow
design allows for easy disassembly and cleaning as well as simple
expansion with volume extensions. Tri-Clover quick release ttings
ensure quick disconnection from conveying and vacuum piping. All
units have reverse jet lter cleaning.

powered ap valve
Application
The K-Tron Premier P30 is designed to convey powders and meets
the rigid 3A Dairy sanitary requirements. With the choice of various
discharge valve types (powered ap and active driven buttery valves)
the P30 can be used for conveying only applications such as hopper
loading, as well as loss-in-weight feeder rell applications, where the
receiver is not always emptied completely.
Design
The P30 receiver is available in two outlet congurations: powered
ap valve (FP) or buttery valve (BV). The receiver body is made of
stainless steel (DIN 1.4404, AISI 316L), with internal and external
electropolished surface passivation. The modular and non hollow
design allows for easy disassembly and cleaning as well as simple
expansion with volume extensions. Tri-Clover quick release ttings
ensure quick disconnection from conveying and vacuum piping. All
units have reverse jet lter cleaning.
Mechanical Features
Sanitary design for easy cleaning
Rugged modular design
Steep cone angles ensure excellent discharge
Large area reverse jet flter for effcient powder conveying
Controls
For single receiver applications, we offer the LSR Controller. In loss-
in-weight feeder rell applications, the LSR Controller can also be
interfaced with K-Tron SmartConnex
TM
feeder controls.
For systems with multiple receivers, K-Tron Premier microprocesser
controls or a variety of PLC control solutions are available, which can
also be integrated into K-Tron feeder control systems.
Hazardous Location Options:
NEC Class I, Div. 2, Group C & D
ATEX 2GD/1D (outside/inside)

2410 Vacuum Loaders
S-502407-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The 2410 loader is offered in two versions - pellet or powder. The 2410
pellet loader is a compact, economical vacuum loader that effciently
handles clean pelletized materials. It is used for machine loading and
other applications where material is moved a short distance to one
destination. It comes with a self-contained power head and control-
ler. The low profle design allows the loader to be installed in areas
where headroom is limited.
The 2410 powder loader is equipped with an automatically pulse-
cleaning flter assembly. The powder loader is designed for short
distance conveying and loading of free-fowing powder or granular
material to one destination. It is also ideal for conveying pellets in
applications where the units location restricts manual flter cleaning.
It comes with a self-contained power head and controller.
Design
2410 loaders are available in either aluminum (painted) or stainless
steel construction. Components of different construction are interchan-
geable allowing loaders to be specifed with stainless steel material
contact areas only.
Mechanical Features
Rugged modular design
Quick-connect clamps for easy cleaning and flter maintenance
Full support discharge fange for mounting
Controls
The 2410 loader is equipped with the LSR Controller. Front panel
controls include a potentiometer to set the draw time and an on/
off switch. The controls, on even the simplest loader are capable of
handling future add-on options, such as pulse-clean powder flters.
The control is provided by a 15 amp, 115/230 VAC, single-phase,
grounded panel.
Conveying Rates
Based on a distance of 6 m [20 ft] and bulk density of 0.5 kg/dm

Page 1 of 2
Application
The 2410 powder receiver is designed to handle ne bulk materials.
The modular designed receiver allows exibility in the selection of
material construction, power, ltration, receiver inlet sections and
type of discharge to meet your current application requirements, as
well as any future needs.
The 2410 receiver is available in two versions for either general keep
full conveying or loss-in-weight (LIW) feeder rell applications, with a
selection of various discharge valve types (gravity, slide/orice and
buttery), depending on the application and material to be fed.
Receivers for keep-full applications are tted with a gravity gate
discharge valve. The receiver sequences draw cycles of material
as long as inductive proximity switch on the gravity discharge gate
is in the almost closed position or a signal from a secondary level
indicator in the hopper is detected, ensuring the hopper below the
receiver is kept full.
Receivers designed for loss-in-weight feeder rell applications are
tted with a level sensor in the housing and require a slide/orice or
buttery valve. The receiver draws material until it is full and waits
for a signal from the feeder below to open the discharge valve and
dispense the material. This cycle is then repeated.
Design
The 2410 receiver is available in either aluminum or stainless steel
construction. Components of different construction are interchange-
able allowing receivers to be specied with stainless steel material
contact areas only.
Central system units for the 2410 receivers utilize a common vacuum
blower package, and are primarily used on multiple-destination
applications where larger conveying rates or long distances are
required.
Mechanical Features
Rugged modular design
Quick-connect clamps for easy cleaning and lter maintenance
Full support discharge ange for mounting
Controls
The receiver is available with controls suitable for use with either a
solid state microprocessor controller (MPC) or a programmable logic
controller (PLC). Both control systems utilize 24 VDC low voltage and
are available with installation kits making installation easy and more
economical. The receiver controls include color coded quick connec-
tors and provide communication to the central controller.
For single receiver applications, we offer the LSR Controller. In loss-
in-weight feeder rell applications, the LSR Controller seamlessly
interfaces with K-Tron Feeder controls.

2420 Vacuum Sequencing Central Receiver
S-502410-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The 2420 receiver is designed to handle free-owing granular, powder,
regrind, pelletized materials and PVC compound. It features a large
lter area with automatic cleaning for ne powders and wear-resistant
carbon steel (or optional stainless steel) material contact areas for
conveying mildly abrasive materials.
The 2420 receiver is available in two versions for either general keep
full conveying or loss-in-weight (LIW) feeder rell applications, with a
selection of various discharge valve types (gravity, slide/orice and
buttery), depending on the application and material to be fed.
Receivers for keep-full applications are tted with a gravity gate
discharge valve. The receiver sequences draw cycles of material
as long as inductive proximity switch on the gravity discharge gate
is in the almost closed position or a signal from a secondary level
indicator in the hopper is detected, ensuring the hopper below the
receiver is kept full.
Receivers designed for loss-in-weight feeder rell applications are
tted with a level sensor in the housing and require a slide/orice or
buttery valve. The receiver draws material until it is full and waits
for a signal from the feeder below to open the discharge valve and
dispense the material. This cycle is then repeated.
Design
The receiver features a low overall height by incorporating a cy-
clonic primary separator coupled with an internal cartridge secondary
separator with automatic air pulse cleaning. Available in carbon steel
construction with epoxy coated interior and enamel painted exterior
or with 1.4301 (AISI 304) stainless steel material contact.
A tangential material inlet tube provides gentle material entry to red-
uce degradation of the conveyed product, which includes an internal
check-valve that allows the receiver to be used in vacuum sequencing
systems with multiple receivers.
Mechanical Features
Low overall height
Rugged modular design
Quick-connect clamps for easy cleaning and lter maintenance
Full support discharge ange for mounting
Controls
The receiver is available with controls suitable for use with either a
solid state microprocessor controller (MPC) or a programmable logic
controller (PLC). Both control systems utilize 24 VDC low voltage and
are available with installation kits making installation easy and more
economical. The receiver controls include color coded quick connec-
tors and provide communication to the central controller.
For single receiver applications, we offer the LSR Controller. In loss-
in-weight feeder rell applications, the LSR Controller seamlessly
interfaces with K-Tron Feeder controls.

Application
The 2423 vacuum receiver provides a high capacity sequencing sys-
tem designed to handle powder, pellet, regrind and granular materials.
Recommended uses are for loading feeders, silo-to-daybin transfer,
in-plant transfer or railcar unloading applications up to 1,406 kg/hr
[3,100 lb/hr].
The 2423 receiver is available in two versions for either general keep
full conveying or loss-in-weight (LIW) feeder rell applications, with a
selection of various discharge valve types (gravity, slide/orice and
buttery), depending on the application and material to be fed.
Receivers for keep-full applications are tted with a gravity gate dis-
charge valve. When material level in the storage hopper drops below
the level indicator, the receiver is signaled to begin drawing material.
The ll sequence continues until the material level in the hopper is
above the level indicator.
Receivers designed for loss-in-weight feeder rell applications are
tted with a level sensor and require a slide/orice or buttery valve.
The receiver draws material until it is full and waits for a signal from
the feeder below to open the discharge valve and dispense the mate-
rial. This cycle is then repeated.

2406 Pellet Receiver
S-502413-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The 2406 receiver is ideal for applications when space is a premium
and material volumes are minimal. Designed with the small part plas-
tic molder in mind, the 2406 is suited for applications when material
changes are frequent. The unit easily disassembles with removal of
one quick-release clamp for material changes and cleaning.
Design
The 2406 receiver standard material of construction is spun alumi-
num. A low-voltage cable system with quick-connect plugs allow the
receivers to be connected to the Microprocessor Controller, PLC
Central Controller or LSR Controller without tools. In additon, low-
voltage wiring generally does not require an electrician or conduit,
allowing for a less expensive electrical installation.
Model 2406A
Model 2406A has a proximity switch and a Pyrex sight glass with
an aluminum base that directly mounts to the throat of a machine.
Model 2406B
Model 2406B has a polypropylene check ball that maintains a vacuum
seal so the unit can be mounted on a hopper. A proximity or rotary-
type level control is required to maintain material level in the hopper.
Mechanical Features
Quick connect clamps for easy cleaning and flter maintenance
Perforated aluminum flter
Adjustable vacuum bleed off for precise draw time settings
Controls
The receiver is available with controls suitable for use with either a
solid state microprocessor controller (MPC) or a programmable logic
controller (PLC). Both control systems utilize 24 VDC low voltage and
are available with installation kits making installation easy and more
economical. The receiver controls include color coded quick connec-
tors and provide communication to the central controller.
For single receiver applications, we offer the LSR Controller. In loss-
in-weight feeder refll applications, the LSR Controller seamlessly
interfaces with K-Tron Feeder controls.

K-TRON PREMIER Product Specication
2410 Vacuum Sequencing Central Pellet Receiver
S-502414-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The 2410 pellet receiver is designed to handle pellets as well as
regrind or granular materials. The modular designed receiver allows
exibility in the selection of material construction, power, ltration,
receiver inlet sections and type of discharge to meet your current
application requirements, as well as any future needs.
The 2410 receiver is available in two versions for either general keep
full conveying or loss-in-weight (LIW) feeder rell applications, with a
selection of various discharge valve types (gravity, slide/orice and
buttery), depending on the application and material to be fed.
Receivers for keep-full applications are tted with a gravity gate
discharge valve. The receiver sequences draw cycles of material
as long as inductive proximity switch on the gravity discharge gate
is in the almost closed position or a signal from a secondary level
indicator in the hopper is detected, ensuring the hopper below the
receiver is kept full.
Receivers designed for loss-in-weight feeder rell applications are
tted with a level sensor in the housing and require a slide or buttery
valve. The receiver draws material until it is full and waits for a signal
from the feeder below to open the discharge valve and dispense the
material. This cycle is then repeated.
Design
The 2410 receiver is available in either aluminum or stainless steel
construction. Components of different construction are interchange-
able allowing receivers to be specied with stainless steel material
contact areas only.
Central system units for the 2410 receivers utilize a common vacuum
blower package, and are primarily used on multiple-destination
applications where larger conveying rates or long distances are
required.
Mechanical Features
Rugged modular design
Quick-connect clamps for easy cleaning and lter maintenance
Full support discharge ange for mounting
Controls
The receiver is available with controls suitable for use with either a
solid state microprocessor controller (MPC) or a programmable logic
controller (PLC). Both control systems utilize 24 VDC low voltage and
are available with installation kits making installation easy and more
economical. The receiver controls include color coded quick connec-
tors and provide communication to the central controller.

Application
In addition to the material-from-air ltering that occurs within the
receivers, static in-line secondary lters are available to provide ad-
ditional blower protection from primary separator failure. In-line lters
are typically located downstream from the conveying equipment, in
front of the blower package.
Design
The static in-line lter is available in 254 and 381 mm [10 and 15 in]
diameter housings and is constructed of aluminum. The static in-line
lter contains a manually-cleaned cartridge and has a quick-access
cover for easy lter inspection and maintenance.
The static in-line lter group includes modular in-line lter with moun-
ting plate, 6 m [20 ft] of exible hose, carbon steel support stand and
assembly hardware. This assembly is available for 50, 76, 100 and
127 mm [2, 3, 4 and 5 in] line sizes.

Page 1 of 2
Application
Typically used on systems where the primary receiver utilizes a
screen separator. The 2400 pulse-clean in-line secondary lter can be
used where frequent manual cleaning of the static unit would not be
practical. The lter elements are automatically pulse-cleaned during
periods when the system is not conveying. The 100 mm [4 in] inlet/
outlet conguration uses a large lter cartridge. The smaller 50 and
76 mm [2 and 3 in] inlet/outlets use lter bags.
Design
The pulse-clean in-line lter works like a powder receiver unit and has
quick-access for easy lter inspection and maintenance. The lters
pulse for a period of time when the blower shuts down.
Central system units for the pulse-clean in-line lter utilize a com-
mon vacuum blower package, and are primarily used on multiple-
destination applications where larger conveying rates or long dis-
tances are required.
Pulse-Clean In-Line Filter Group
The pulse-clean in-line lter group includes modular in-line lter with
mounting plate, nes collection kit (indludes ex sock adapter, clamp,
lter sock and drum with clamp), 6 m [20 ft] of exible hose, carbon
steel support stand and assembly hardware. The assembly is available
for 50, 76 and 100 mm [2, 3 and 4 in] line sizes.
Mechanical Features
Rugged modular design
Quick-connect clamps for easy cleaning and lter maintenance
Wall mounting bracket
Controls
The pulse-clean in-line lter is available with controls suitable for use
with either a solid state microprocessor controller, a programmable
logic controller or the LSR Controller.

K-TRON PREMIER Product Specication
2424 Vacuum Sequencing Central Pellet Receiver
S-502418-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
The 2424 pellet receiver provides a high capacity sequencing system
designed to handle pellets as well as regrind and granular materials.
Recommended uses are for silo-to-daybin transfer, in-plant transfer or
railcar unloading applications up to 6,800 kg/hr [15,000 lb/hr].
The 2424 receiver is available in two versions for either general keep
full conveying or loss-in-weight (LIW) feeder rell applications, with
a selection of various discharge valve types (gravity or buttery),
depending on the application and material to be fed.
Receivers for keep-full applications are tted with a gravity gate dis-
charge valve. When material level in the storage hopper drops below
the level indicator, the receiver is signaled to begin drawing material.
The ll sequence continues until the material level in the hopper is
above the level indicator.
Receivers designed for loss-in-weight feeder rell applications are
tted with a level sensor and require a buttery valve. The receiver
draws material until it is full and waits for a signal from the feeder
below to open the discharge valve and dispense the material. This
cycle is then repeated.
Design
The 2424 receiver is available in either carbon steel (painted) or
stainless steel construction. Each receiver has a stainless steel check
valve to allow multiple receivers to draw material from a common
conveying line. The 2424 pellet receiver features a perforated screen
lter section.
Central system units for the 2424 receivers utilize a common vacu-
um blower package, and are primarily used on multiple-destination
applications where larger conveying rates or long distances are
required.
Mechanical Features
Rugged modular design
Quick-connect clamps for easy cleaning and lter maintenance
Full support discharge ange for mounting
Controls
The receiver is available with controls suitable for use with either a
solid state microprocessor controller (MPC) or a programmable logic
controller (PLC). Both control systems utilize 24 VDC low voltage and
are available with installation kits making installation easy and more
economical. The receiver controls include color coded quick connec-
tors and provide communication to the central controller.
For single receiver applications, we offer the LSR Controller. In loss-
in-weight feeder rell applications, the LSR Controller seamlessly
interfaces with K-Tron Feeder controls.
Conveying Rates
Based on a distance of 15 m [50 ft] and bulk density of 0.5 kg/

The vacuum machine loaders are for machine loading
and other transfer operations. The rates are variable,
depending upon material and distance conveyed.
The hopper is 254 [10] in diameter with a 60 degree
cone, 114.3 [4.5] discharge opening, with a capacity of
7.08 dm
3
[.25 ft
3
]. The power unit consists of a 120 volt,
1-phase, 60 Hertz brush-type motor with an integral cen-
trifugal, 3-stage blower. The control is provided by a 20
amp capacity, 120 volt, 1-phase, grounded panel utilizing
a solid state control board/contactor, with a combination
off-on/circuit breaker selector switch.
The machine will convey material for the pre-set time
then stop to allow the discharge gate to open, emptying
the material from the loader. If the hopper below is not
full, the gate will close and the cycle will repeat until it
is full. When the hopper is full, the gate will be held open
and the switch on the gate will stop the loader until the
material falls away allowing the gate to close. The loader
will then begin lling the hopper again.
Powder units will have an additional time delay between
cycles to allow for the automatic lter bag cleaning.

SERIES 2400 SYSTEM SIZING INSTRUCTIONS
These design instructions use the Average Distance
Method. It will help you to properly size systems in which
the destinations are not all of equal distance from the
sources. Please keep in mind the following points as you
design systems:
Systems that will be handling different types of ma-
terials, i.e. powders and pellets, should be sized
based on the system sizing classifications for the
material with the highest Fd classification.
The conveying rates for the Series 2400 systems
are directly related to the handled material flow char-
acteristics and its ability to quickly discharge from
the receivers. Materials that are not free flowing or
do not discharge cleanly from the receiver hoppers,
such as fiberous or interlocking regrinds and certain
compounded plastic powders, can significantly re-
duce overall conveying rates. Please send us a
sample.
The Average Distance Method will work for almost
all applications. The only situation in which we can
foresee a problem is when the destination with the
highest use rate is located further away from the
source than the other destinations. If this is the case,
dont size the system too close to its maximum capa-
bility.
Send copies of all quotations with worksheets to
your customer service coordinator. No orders will be
processed without them.

Data Fill-In
Complete the data sheet. The Material Test Results
should be filled in with the results of a test of the particu-
lar material you are handling or the estimated test results
which can be found starting on Page 0-314.

Average Distance Calculations
(Material lines onlynot air lines)
Enter the sources and destinations of each leg of the
system in the spaces provided on the worksheet. Along
with each source and destination, list the delivery rate
required at the destination, the horizontal and vertical
distance, the number of 90 deg. elbows, and the length
of hose in the run. Total each column. The total in the
Delivery Rate Required column is the minimum convey-
ing rate required of the system.
In the spaces provided on the worksheets, average the
horizontal distance, the vertical distance, the number of
90 deg. elbows, and the length of hose by dividing the
totals for the whole system by the number of destina-
tions.
Factor Calculations
Enter the five System sizing classifications from the ma-
terial test in the spaces provided on the worksheet.

Flow FactorTurn to Page 24-301. In the table on that
page, find the Ff classification for your material; the flow
factor is in the same column of the row below. Write the
flow factor in the space provided on the worksheet.

Acceleration FactorTurn to Page 24-301. Find the Fa
classification for your material. The acceleration factor is
in the same column of the row below. Write the accelera-
tion factor in the space provided on the worksheet.

Distance FactorAdd together the average horizontal
distance, the average vertical distance, and the average
hose distance. Enter this total in the space labeled feet
next to the Fd classification on the worksheet.
Turn to Page 24-301. Find the average total system
length in the scale on the vertical axis. From that point,
move horizontally to the right until intersecting the in-
clined line labeled with Fd classification for your material.
From the point of intersection, move vertically down the
graph until you reach the horizontal axis and read the
distance factor from that scale. Write the distance factor
in the space provided on the worksheet.

Elbow FactorDivide the average length of hose by 10;
if the result is less than 1, round to 1. Multiply the result
by 90 deg. to arrive at the degrees of change in direction
that take place in the hose. Multiply the average number
of 90 deg. elbows by 90 deg. to find the degrees of
change in direction that take place in the elbows. Add
the degrees for the hose and elbows together and write
the sum in the space on the worksheet labeled degrees
next to the Fe classification.
Turn to Page 24-302. Find your average total number of
degrees of change in the scale on the vertical axis. Move
horizontally to the right until you intersect the inclined
line labeled with the appropriate Fe classification. From
that point of intersection, go vertically down the page
until you reach the horizontal scale. Read the elbow fac-
tor from that scale and write it in the space provided on
the worksheet.

Vertical FactorEnter the average vertical distance in
the space provided on the worksheet labeled feet next
to the Fv classification.
Turn to Page 24-303 and read the vertical factor from
the graph on that page. Write the vertical factor in the
space provided on the worksheet.

Factor TotalThe factor total is the sum of the five fac-
tors just computed. Write it in the space provided on the
worksheet.

Selection of the receiver should be made based on the
filtering requirements for your material.

In general, the finer or dustier your material is, the
more filtering capability will be required for satisfactory
performance and maintenance levels. For a guideline,
choose as follows:
Foam Element: Clean pellets
Static Bag Filter: Dirty pellets/clean regrind
Pulse Jet Clean Filter: Most regrinds, granular &
powder materials.

NOTES
1. For use on above filter selection:
a. Clean pellets are non-lubricated and have less
than 1% of fines by volume.
b. Dirty pellets/clean regrinds have less than 5%
of fines by volume.
2. If, due to material classification or customer prefer-
ence, the pulse jet cleaning filter bag units are to be
used, be sure to use the proper receiver capacity
chart.

Line Size Selection
Line size selection is based on the type of receiver
used in the system.

Turn to:
Page 24-304 for Pellet & Regrind receiver systems.
Page 24-305 for Powder receiver systems.

In the row across the top of the chart find the number
of destinations in your system. In the column on the left
hand side of the chart find your Factor Total (if your
exact factor total is not listed you may either interpolate
or go to the next highest one). At the intersection point
of the column and row is the system capacity. If the
capacity is not adequate go to the chart for a large line
size. Write the line size and system capacity in the
space provided on the worksheet.

Receiver Selection
Turn to the receiver selection sheets in Section 4. Find
the part number for the basic receiver type and line
size you have selected and write it in the space pro-
vided on the worksheet.

Blower Application
Turn to Section 5. Find the line size you have selected
and the Fd classification for your material (or the in-
creased Fd classification if altitude correction applies).
Write the horsepower and part numbers in the spaces
provided on the worksheet.

Sanitary Bag Dump Station with Glovebox
I-502501-en
Page 1 of 2
Application
This Sanitary Bag Dump Station with Glovebox is designed to allow bags or
small sacks to be opened and dumped into a process in a closed environment.
The Bag Dump Station protects the operator from contact with potentially
hazardous bulk materials while also protecting the bulk material from conta-
mination or interaction with the outside environment.
Once inside the hopper, the bulk material is introduced into the process
below via a choice of discharge tools vacuum conveying, screw feeder or
discharge valve depending on the requirements of the bulk material and
application.
Function and Operation
The central exhaust ventilation is always on during use to ensure that dust
does not exit the unit during loading and/or discharging. The fan is started
automatically when the sliding hatch is opened and generates a slight vacu-
um. Once the hatch is closed the breaker (vent) valve in the exhaust line is
activated, blowing a stream of air over the front window to ensure dust does
not settle on the window.
The primary lter is only cleaned when the hatch is closed and the exhaust fan
is on. A protective panel prevents dust from being blown at the front window.
The empty bag can be disposed of through a ange at the side of the unit.
If no further bags are emptied within a programmable timeframe, the exhaust
fan and internal light are automatically shut off. A protective lter between
the glovebox and fan prevents dust from exiting the unit in case of damage
to the primary lter. A bleeding valve is mounted in the exhaust line for ne
adjustment of the vacuum.
Design
The entire unit is designed with no pockets - only open proles are used.
The components are connected by band clamps. The safety grill inside the
hopper is removable when the window is open. The window can be removed
without tools.
