  • Page 6: Product Overview

    PRODUCT OVERVIEW The PEBCO® Dustless Loading Spout (DLS) is a device of two or more conical sections that bridges the gap between a load-out controls device such as a cutoff gate, conveyor, etc. and a hopper, truck, railcar or barge. The DLS is retracted to allow the moveable transport device to be positioned and then it is lowered to facilitate dust- free loading of the bulk solid product.

  • Page 7: Optional Components

    The dust collector outlet may be located on the side or the top of the housing assembly, and serves to route dust from the spout to a dust collection system. OPTIONAL COMPONENTS In addition to the standard components mentioned in Section 2.1, PEBCO® DLS units are also available with the following: INTERMEDIATE CONE ASSEMBLY Depending on the length of travel, the DLS unit may contain an intermediate cone assembly between the inlet and outlet cones.

    STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS GENERAL REQUIREMENTS If PEBCO® equipment is to be stored for a period of time longer than three weeks prior to installation, the following procedures are recommended: • Equipment should be stored in enclosed areas. Indoor storage area should be clean and dry.

  • Page 11: Scdls Specific Equipment

    PEBCO® DUSTLESS LOADING/SELF-CONTAINED DUSTLESS LOADING SPOUTS STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS SCDLS SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT • Headers should be sealed from the environment, and inspected for rust or corrosion prior to installation if stored for a period longer than six months. If rust is found, it must be removed before the unit is installed.

  • Page 12: General Installation

    MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION PEBCO® Dustless Loading Spouts (DLS) are normally shipped in a nearly retracted position and suspended from a wooden frame. Larger units, however, are often shipped with subassemblies on separate skids. Section 4.3.1 covers installation for assembled units. For large units, see Section 4.3.2.

  • Page 13: Installation Of Unassembled Units

    Until the Rotary Limit Switch has been checked to ensure proper adjustment, DO NOT FULLY RETRACT THE SPOUT, as over retracting may cause damage to the unit. PEBCO® DLS systems are shipped extended approximately 4 inches from the fully retracted position to protect against over retracting during installation.

Installation and assembly of the unit is completed as follows: 1.
  • Page 15 PEBCO® DUSTLESS LOADING/SELF-CONTAINED DUSTLESS LOADING SPOUTS GENERAL INSTALLATION 9. Place the flexible sleeve over the cone stack and onto outlet assembly. Do not connect to discharge at this time. The sleeve should be aligned such that the cable guides on the sleeve are aligned with the lift cable attachment points on the outlet assembly.

    PEBCO® DUSTLESS LOADING/SELF-CONTAINED DUSTLESS LOADING SPOUTS GENERAL INSTALLATION the fully extended position to ensure the cone assembly will hang straight. 16. Raise the outlet assembly until the outer flexible sleeve can be connected to the housing assembly. Insert the top ring into the tub on the housing assembly and tighten the retaining bolts.
  • Page 17 PEBCO® DUSTLESS LOADING/SELF-CONTAINED DUSTLESS LOADING SPOUTS GENERAL INSTALLATION Burn-in should take place with the damper closed; this will ensure minimum amp draw and reduce the risk of damaged equipment. If for any reason it is required that the damper be opened, DO NOT open the damper more than 25% of the way from the fully closed position.

  • Page 18: Operation

    PEBCO® DUSTLESS LOADING/SELF-CONTAINED DUSTLESS LOADING SPOUTS OPERATION OPERATION !!! WARNING !!! Before beginning a loading operation, make sure the area around the spout is clear of personnel. As direct exposure to the product stream can result in seriously injury or death.

  • Page 19: Maintenance Recommendations

    Parts exposed to high frictional forces, whether due to the sliding of two parts against each other, or due to exposure to the product flow, are expected to wear and may need to be replaced. PEBCO® does not consider the wearing of Seals, Cones, Lift Cables, Cone Suspension Cables, Dust Sleeves or SCDLS Filters due to friction to be a defect as covered under the product warranty, and replacement of said parts is considered to be the responsibility of the purchaser.
