Requirements
For air consumption, quality and max and min pressure, see chapter
5. Technical data.
The specified air consumption of the FlexFilter EX is limited to the short
operation of the cleaning valve and the TVFD. Maximum (short time)
consumption is about 700 NL/Min (1400 NL/min FlexFilter EX Twin).
As new pipes may contain dirt/particles/debris, the compressed air pipe
should be blown clean before connecting the FlexFilter EX. Use ear protection
and safety goggles!
A compressed air filter (see picture no. 18 / 3) must be installed to ensure
reliable and safe operation of the FlexFilter EX. A main valve, that bleeds
remaining pressure of the FlexFilter EX, should be installed (see picture no. 18
/ 2).
NOTE! Take necessary measures to avoid water/humidity in the compressed
air when the FlexFilter EX is installed in cold environments.
NOTE! If anti freeze additives are used, ensure continuos use. Once added,
the removal of anti freeze additive can cause malfunction of the pneumatic
components.
NOTE! To avoid personal injuries during maintenance, the main valve should
be locked in closed position.
It is recommended that a pressure switch, warning for insufficient pressure, is
connected to the control system.
