    OPERATING MANUAL RBG 1000 I RBG 1000 ID 3. First Operating Instructions  Connect mains plug.  Connect compressed air supply (4 - 10 bar overpressure) via a pressure reduction valve (or another suitable valve) to the generator and set desired pre-pressure (see volume flow curve).
  • Page 8: Operating Principle

    OPERATING MANUAL RBG 1000 I RBG 1000 ID 4. Operating Principle The Rotating Brush Generator RBG 1000 I or RBG 1000 ID transfers dry, non-cohesive powder and dust particles into an airborne state. The generator permits the solution of two basic problems relative to the dust- and powder technology.
  • Page 9: Feed Rate And Mass Concentration

    OPERATING MANUAL RBG 1000 I RBG 1000 ID 4.1 Feed Rate and Mass Concentration The feed rate relative to the mass, also called mass flow, indicates the amount of dust per time (dimension: gram per hour) which is propelled out of the powder dispersion generator. The mass flow M is exactly determined by the following parameters: diameter of powder reservoir compact density of powder inside the reservoir...
  • Page 10: Dispersion Air And Dispersion Effect

    OPERATING MANUAL RBG 1000 I RBG 1000 ID 4.3 Dispersion Air and Dispersion Effect Only use dry, oil-free and particle-free disperdion air. Wet air causes coalescation of brush and sedimentation inside of dispersion nozzle. A general rule is: the smaller the particles, the higher the required energy for their dispersion.

    From the connector LA1 the air is directly led to the dispersion cover (connector LA2). The internal pressure switch does not control the flow. This switch is principally set by Palas in such a way, that – provided dispersion cover A is used – air does only flow if the pre- pressure reaches approximately <...

  • Page 21: Filling Of The Powder Reservoir

    OPERATING MANUAL RBG 1000 I RBG 1000 ID 6.2 Filling of the Powder Reservoir In order to obtain a constant feed rate while using a constant piston feed speed, a constant compact density must be maintained in the powder reservoir. The bulk material is slowly being fed into the cylinder, and each time its density is slightly regulated by compacting, in order to achieve a constant compact density.
