Gas Exhaust Filtration

Dust particles can be carried over with air at the gas exhaust outlet on the cyclone. Three levels of filtration are available as standard options with Foremost Cyclones.

The first is a simple cotton Type “E” draw string filter bag which mounts directly to the gas exhaust outlet. The second is a single bag hanging filter bag. A 35 to 40 micron 7 oz Enamelion duck filter bag is hung off a horizontal scroll with a 90 degree elbow.

Safety Dump Valves

If these bags are not regularly emptied the material accumulated in these bags can weigh several hundred pounds. This weight, and the elevated location of some bags, can sometime make it difficult to reach and handle the bags while cleaning them out.

To help overcome this problem, Foremost has developed a valve for installation on the bottom of the filter bags. This valve will automatically dump material out of the bag when the weight of accumulated material inside exceeds a pre-set value. A drum or gaylord positioned under the valve is used to collect the dumped material.

The model DI-2 can be supplied with material pick-up “suction lances”. They are ideal for emptying bulk cartons and drums, feeding storage bins, loading machine hoppers, and other in-plant conveying applications. They are easily portable and are designed for continuous operation.

In other applications, and with all other units, a chute or similar device is required to direct material into the inlet of the blower or impeller. They can be supplied on a separate base, or in some cases, integrally mounted on a grinder or blender.

Under normal circumstances, a cyclonic air separator is required at the material receiving location.

Foremost has been building blowers for the plastics industry since the 1960’s. We offer three different types of direct drive blowers.

These units can be supplied with material pick-up “suction lances”. They are ideal for emptying bulk cartons and drums, feeding storage bins, loading machine hoppers, and other in-plant conveying applications. They are easily portable and are designed for continuous operation.

In other applications, and with all other units, a chute or similar device is required to direct material into the inlet of the blower or impeller. They are commonly used to unload grinders, granulators, blenders, and material storage tanks.
Under normal circumstances, a cyclonic air separator is required at the material receiving location.

• Direct drive.
• 3,450 RPM motor.
• Cast aluminum impeller.
• Cast aluminum housing.
• Cast aluminum inlet plate.
• Safety Switch protected.
• Combination motor starter with through the door disconnect.
• All mounted on a rigid base.

The panel is ready for all interconnection wiring from the operator’s panel to the pump mounted starter box as well as to all field devices.

This unit can be used for the following application:

• One to four vacuum chambers, (material receiver) with level control switch. The vacuum chambers may or may not include end point control level switches and air operated knife gates.
• Up to four vacuum sequencing valves, one for each vacuum chamber, (loading station).
• One positive displacement pump, supplied with a vacuum relief valve, starter and filters. The pump may or may not also come equipped with a vacuum breaker valve.
• A “VPC” pulsed filter cleaning station, if this is the case then there are (2) solenoids that will need to be wired back to the operator’s panel.

• Load on time as standard.
• Password protected.
• Station integrated proportional controls.
• Station filter cleaning controls.
• Station load to end point control.
• Vacuum breaker valve controls (per pump).
• Central filter cleaning controls (per pump).
• Loader not starting alarm.
• Station no fill alarm Vacuum alarm

System configurations are accomplished by manually entering commands on a membrane switch touch pad, as directed by user-friendly screen printed instructions. System conditions are shown on an LCD display which indicates the status at each station (i.e., enabled, disabled and loading).

Using an optional vacuum switch mounted on the power unit, the Format IV remembers the time necessary to load each station, and periodically adjusts load time automatically for optimum overall cycle. Or choose the optional “End Point” control version that fills each receiver in the system without timers.

Each power unit is supplied with a starter and circuit breaker in a NEMA 12 enclosure mounted to the unit.

• NEMA 12 Enclosure
• Fused Disconnect
• Name-Brand Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) (Multiple Station Units)
