2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 Application
The Con-Evator SVR is a vacuum hopper loader designed for conveying of free-flowing granular
plastic material from a bag or bin to the intermediate hopper of the processing machine or another
hopper.

2.2 Restrictions
The SVR unit may only be used for the purposes specified.
The SVR unit can be used neither for powders (only in special version) or liquids, nor for living
creatures.
The SVR unit must be used by a qualified operator only, following the correct procedures.
The blower with motor and control must not be used in a potentially explosive atmosphere. The
hopper may only be used in such atmosphere if the bottom flap has been fitted with an explosion-
proof power switch. The power switch will be marked with an explosion-proof label.

IMPORTANT!

The person in charge of the placing/operation and or owner is responsible for the prescribed and
adequate installations, corresponding to the local regulations. In other words, only authorized or
trained personnel is allowed to install the equipment.
Should the equipment be interfered with by unauthorized or untrained personnel leading to damage,
or should the consumer allow the equipment to be interfered with in this manner by third parties,
then all claims under guarantee relating to the entirety of the object concerned become null and
void.
The right to carry out changes in design is reserved, without however incurring the obligation to
effect such changes, even in equipment already supplied.
This information is based on our present state of knowledge and is intended to provide general notes
on our products and their uses. It should not therefore be construed as guaranteeing specific
properties of the products described or their suitability for particular applications.

2.4 Operating principles
2.4.1 Conveying (drawing R2369)
1. By means of the blower (7), a vacuum is generated inside the hopper loader (83); the blower
is driven by an electric motor (6). This causes the bottom flap (13) to close against the outlet
of the hopper resulting in a vacuum in both the conveying hose (2) and the suction probe (14).
Ambient air is consequently sucked in through the outer pipe of the suction probe, carrying
material with it to the hopper through the suction pipe (14).
2. BLOWER ON time (the time the blower is required to generate a vacuum) is set at the
control.
3. During conveying the conveying hose (2) may be cleared. A line clearing valve located right
above the suction probe opens in a preset time integrated in the conveying time. Air is
admitted into the system, now via the suction hose instead of the suction probe, and thereby
clearing of the hose is effected. See section 5.0 Accessories.

R2369

4. When the blower is turned off the weight of the material sucked into the hopper loader will
cause the bottom flap (13) to be pressed down and the material to fall into the intermediate
hopper (5).
5. If there is sufficient room in the intermediate hopper for all the material, the bottom flap will
automatically be released against the outlet (15) and indicate to the control, via the bottom
flap, that a new loading cycle should be started.
6. If there is insufficient room in the intermediate hopper for all the material, the material will
hold the bottom flap down, and a new loading cycle will only be started when the material
level has dropped sufficiently to allow the bottom flap to close against the outlet.

2.4.2 Filter cleaning

1. A filter (21), located between the blower (7) and the hopper loader (10), protects the blower
(7) against dust.
2. Immediately before each loading cycle, the filter is automatically cleaned by the blower
reversing its rotating direction. This process also cleans the bottom flap (13).
Rev. 09 Con-Evator Page 5
SVR-I
2a. If a blow-back valve (80) has been fitted, the blower will not reverse its rotating direction,
only the position of the valve will switch so to utilize the outlet air of the blower for filter
cleaning.
3. The air that is forced down through the hopper loader will be sent out through the base filter
(11). The filter will catch any dust/particles that would otherwise be blown into the ambient
air.

The above capacities kg/h at the respective distances set out in the table are based on the
assumption that the vacuum hopper is completely filled during each conveying cycle.

Over and above to the vertical and horizontal conveying distances, the available capacity depends
on the characteristics of the pellet, size and bulk density.
The specified capacities are based on a general bulk density of 0.6 kg/land the above capacity table
states recommended values only.

5.2 Connecting and installing accessories

5.2.2 Installing filter for suction probe
A filter is fitted on the suction probe to prevent that dust and granular pellets inside the intermediate
hopper are dispersed on the floor when the Con-Evator is reversing the air flow to clean the disc
filter – most common at short conveying distances.
Rev. 09 Con-Evator Page 24
SVR-I
1. Remove the conveying hose from the suction probe.
2. Press the filter holder (56) over the inner and outer tube (14) (16) of the suction hose. Check
that the O-ring (57) has been fitted correctly.
3. Fit the cartridge filter (58), the disc (59) and the star handle (60) on filter holder (56).
4. Fit the conveying hose on the inner tube (14)

R1196

5.2.3 Installing the line clearing valve

It is recommended to install a line clearing valve at vertical lifts exceeding 3 metres for LT-I 3 and
LT-I 5, and 5 metres for LT-I 6.

The line clearing valve prevents material which is in the vertical conveying hose during conveying
from falling back and becoming stuck in the hose when conveying stops.
By the end of each conveying cycle the line clearing valve admits air into the conveying hose at the
point just above the suction probe.
The line clearing valve facilitates start of a new conveying cycle, as no mass of compact material is
stuck in the pipes.

1. Fit the T-pipe (61) near by the suction probe (14).

2. Fit the conveying hose (2) on the T-pipe (61).
3. Fit the line clearing valve (45) on the T-pipe (61).
4. Connect compressed air supply 4-10 bar to the
connecting branch (62) of the line clearing valve.
5. Wire (63) between line clearing valve and control,
follow the diagram.

OBS!

For reason of weight the line clearing valve

should be fitted at an appropriate location
e.g. a wall.

5.2.7 Installing the Teflon-coated bottom flap
A Teflon-coated bottom flap is used where the conveyed material has a tendency to stick to the
bottom flap, due for instance to static electricity. Granular pellets stuck to the bottom flap may
impede the full closure of the bottom flap, thus causing the hopper to leak at the bottom and
preventing the generation of vacuum.
1. Turn off the machine by turning the power switch to position 0.
2. Disconnect the mains voltage.
3. Dismount the Con-Evator from the processing machine.
4. Turn the machine upside down or sideways and dismount the bottom flap by removing the
screw and the disc (66).
5. Clean of dust and soil from the assembly roller (67).
6. Fit the Teflon-coated bottom flap (51) on the assembly roll (67), the Teflon-coated side facing
the outlet branch.

To adjust the bottom flap dislocate the flap in the longish hole until the outlet branch is fully
covered.

R1201

7. Adjust the spring function of the bottom flap, if required. See section 6.3.1.
8. Install the Con-Evator on the processing machine and connect to mains voltage.
