Vacuum receiver for dilute phase conveying

Flexicon’s new vacuum receiver has a pneumatically-actuated dump valve for dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems.

Its rugged, clamp-together design enables rapid, tool-free disassembly for filter cleaning and maintenance. It’s modular so cylinder segments can be added for increased holding volume.

The flap-type dump valve is actuated by a pneumatic cylinder via manual contact closure, or programmable controls based on weight gain, elapsed time or other user-defined parameters.

Unlike conventional filter receivers that employ multiple small filter elements, this unit employs a single, large diameter filter cartridge facilitating rapid filter changes, and automatic reverse pulse jet cleaning of the filter element to maintain conveying efficiency during operation.

The new filter receiver is particularly suited to high-volume applications above storage vessels or process equipment.
