PROCEDURE TO IDENTIEY THE CAUSES/REASONS FOR LOw SHUT-OFF VACUUMM

Condition-1 When with other vacuum pump shutoff vacuum is normal

olowing actions to be taken:
S.S. No. Operations to be carried out Possible results Actions Required
Pre-reguisites for checkingthe shut-off vacuum
Ensure both AlTs are connected with
vacuum through equalizing valves.
Auto Sequence should not run during
checking of shuttoff vacuum.To be
ensured
ensure APH/Duct side SSV is closed (Not
applicable for C&D pass buffer hoppers)
Close the pulse jetting header manual
