SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 16 of 49 2-4 Connecting the Compressed Air Supply Before connecting the compressed air supply, check the following: Check compressed air piping for correct installation and assembly.
SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 17 of 49 2-5 Connecting Material Lines Typical SVL Loader installations use flex hose to connect the loader to th e venturi. Caution! The material hose should be as straight as possible.
SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 18 of 49 SVL-C (Two inlet) Installation Any SVL loader may be equipped for “ratio” or proportioning loading so that two materials (usually virgin and regrind) may be loaded simultaneously.
SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 19 of 49 2-6 Electrical Connection The operating voltage is 115 or 230 VAC, AC, PE, 50/60 Hz. Special voltages available by request. The connected load is approximately 2 Watts.
SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 20 of 49 Chapter 3: Functional Description 3-1 Operational Summary Once the control switch(s) is turned on, the SVL loader uses a solid state sensor to determine if material is needed at the material destination (hopper, bin, sight glass, etc.
SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 21 of 49 3-2 Method of Functioning The self-contained venturi loader works according to the Venturi Principle. An external compressed air supply is needed to provide the source of compressed air.
SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 22 of 49 3-3 Control Assembly A. The unit is switched ON and OFF at the control. B. At the regulator, the operating pressure is adjusted. A filter/separator is integrated into the control.
SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 23 of 49 Chapter 4: Setup 4-1 Preparations Check to see if the venturi assembly is inserted in the material to be conveyed. Verify compressed air connections are properly installed.
SVL-A, SVL-B, SVL-C, & SVL-D Self-Contained Material Loaders - Venturi Style 24 of 49 adjusted first for optimum flow, as described above.
