• Never allow any kind of metal or other foreign objects to enter a Kice Venturi-Jet filter while in operation, unless the system is specifically designed as a wire or metal reclaim system. Examined raw materials should be used through the machine to ensure proper and consistent operation.
5. Delivery Inspection and Installation Preparation The Kice Venturi-Jet filter has been inspected at Kice and should be in excellent condition upon delivery. A thorough customer inspection of the Kice Venturi-Jet filter should be completed upon receipt to verify its condition.
When installing outdoors, care must be taken to guy wire the unit in order to handle the wind loading. Contact Kice Industries, Inc., for the proper location and adjustment.

10. The sequence controller is not dependent on the successful firing of the Kice Venturi-Jet blast valve to advance to the next valve in sequence. If, for any reason, a Kice Venturi-Jet blast valve does not fire, the controller will continue to time out the “off” time and activate the next valve in sequence.

6. Set the controller “off” time adjustment to the desired time by turning the dial to the desired setting. 7. If a venturi-jet blast valve does not fire on start-up, first check the output LED to confirm that power is being sent to the solenoid on the venturi-jet blast valve.
Kice Venturi-Jet Blast Valve Description: The Kice Venturi-Jet blast valve is a 2 way, NC, diaphragm type air valve designed for remote pilot operation. This valve has an angle type aluminum body with a 1/8” NPT connection in the bonnet.

Solenoid Description: The Kice pilot valve is operated by an ASCO Red-Hat II epoxy encapsulated solenoid. The green solenoid with lead wires and ½” conduit connection is designed to meet Enclosure Types 4 and 4X – Watertight. The black solenoid (designated by catalog number prefix “EF”) is designed to meet Enclosure Types 7 and 9 –...
B. Pressure Drop Starts to Increase Probable Cause/Suggested Remedies: 1. Should one venturi-jet blast valve not fire for an extended period of time, a row of filter bags could become masked with dust (see “E” - venturi-jet blast valve fails to fire).

4. Check the venturi-jet blast valves for leaks. 5. Check to see if any of the venturi-jet blast valves are stuck open and bleeding air straight into the filter. (This is usually caused by the solenoid operated 2 way pilot valve being stuck open).
