The FLX loading control is a central vacuum conveying control consisting of a main control
with I/O capacity and a range of add-on I/O modules allowing conveying system configura-
tions up to 128 receivers, 40 pumps (plus 2 back up pumps) and 256 source valves.
In addition, optional input and output I/O can be easily added for ratio valves, purge/pocket
valves, fill sensors, idle mode valve, dust collector, closed loop operation, blowback, and air
operated discharge. A color touch screen provides an intuitive, easy to read and easy to use
graphical interface with on board help and diagnostic screens.

•
Conveying systems that start small and then grow to include increasing numbers of
receivers, pumps and source valves for purging conveying lines.
•
Conveying systems that are spread across a large plant area that can all be operated
from central control panels (up to 6).
•
Conveying system installations that can benefit from network wiring (Ethernet) VS
100% hard wiring across the expanse of the facility. The FLX system uses a combi-
nation of hard (point to point) wiring and network wiring to minimize labor and
wiring costs.
•
For easy understanding of conveying system operation, the FLX touchscreen control
panels use easy to understand graphics and icons as well as multiple languages to aid
users.
