Optional Components - PEBCO Dustless Loading Spouts Manual

PEBCO®
DUSTLESS LOADING/SELF-CONTAINED DUSTLESS LOADING SPOUTS
OUTLET ASSEMBLY
The outlet assembly is held at the desired height by the lifting cables, and consists of a housing,
outlet cone, a hatch adapter for loading sealed containers or an outlet skirt for loading open
containers, along with optional equipment.
FABRIC REINFORCED DUST SLEEVE AND RINGS
The fabric reinforced dust sleeve serves to contain dust and connects from the housing assembly to
the outlet assembly. Depending on the application, it may be constructed from Coverlight, neoprene
coated nylon, or silicone coated fiberglass. Reinforcing rings are spaced along the sleeve, allowing it
to maintain shape. For dust sleeve replacement, see Section 6.10.
DUST COLLECTOR OUTLET
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.
2.2

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. Intermediate cones are attached to the cone support cables using U-bolt
cable clamps. When the spout is retracted, these cones compactly nest inside one another. When
the spout is extended, the cones telescope to direct the product into the container being loaded. For
cone inspection and replacement, refer to Section 6.8.
SLACK CABLE SWITCHES
Slack cable switches are mounted inside the housing assembly and are held in a closed position
when the cable is taut. When the cable becomes loose due to the outlet assembly hitting an
obstruction, the slack cable switch will move to an open position, which will either stop the motor or
send a signal to the operator. See the associated cut sheet for manufacturer data.
AIR VIBRATOR
An air vibrator may be installed on the outlet assembly to assist in material flow. Air vibrators must be
connected to filtered, regulated, and lubricated air with pressure not to exceed 80 psi. Air is supplied
via a coil hose which stretches between the housing assembly and the outlet assembly. DO NOT
connect air vibrators to the same air supply as SCDLS headers; vibrator air must be lubricated, while
header air must be dry. For more information, see the manufacturer's data provided in the associated
cut sheet.
