Series 2400 Blowers

Series 2400 Blowers Dimensional Information

The Series2400 vacuum blower is specifically designed for use with our Series 2400 receivers. It is controlled by the microprocessor that commands the entire Series 2400 system, and includes a vacuum breaker valve to accommodate the Series 2400’s continuous sequencing conveying. Included in each blower package is a positive displacement blower and TEFC motor; a totally enclosed belt drive guard; an air-actuated vacuum breaker valve; a spring loaded back-up vacuum relief valve; a large vacuum gauge and an outlet silencer.

Industry-proven blower and motor

All Series 2400 blowers incorporate an industryproven positive displacement blower and TEFC motor for dependable service. The blower is dynamically balanced, and isolation pads are positioned between the blower and the base to reduce vibration and noise. To promote longer blower life and give some room for field adjustments, our standard design procedure is to select a blower that will meet the requirements of the system operating at 75-80% of capacity.

Vacuum breaker and relief valves

A vacuum breaker valve is included with each Series 2400 blower to accommodate the continuous sequencing conveying of the Series 2400 conveying system. While material is being conveyed, the vacuum breaker valve remains closed to allow material to be conveyed from the source to the receiver. While the blower is idling between call signals it opens automatically, letting outside air to be drawn in to avoid a “dead head” condition. A vacuum relief valve is also standard to protect the blower from damage caused by above-normal operating pressure and to eliminate a “dead head” condition should the vacuum breaker valve fail.

Totally enclosed drive guard

A heavy-duty drive guard encloses the drive to protect plant personnel. Routine maintenance is also simplified by the drive guard’s easy access design.

Easy-to-read vacuum gauge

A large, easy-to-read vacuum gauge permits easy monitoring of the blower in operation. The gauge provides an indication of the vacuum at the blower inlet in inches of mercury (Hg) for operator convenience. A snubber assures the accuracy of the reading and improves the gauge’s wear life by absorbing the shocks and pulsations of the blower.

Discharge Silencer

Each Series 2400 blower is equipped with a discharge silencer to reduce the sound emissions produced by the high-speed air generated in the positive displacement blower. The silencer is designed to let air flow through with a minimum of resistance, thereby ensuring maximum blower performance. Silencers are available for vertical and horizontal configurations.
