Overview BALLAST INJECTION General Blower Operation The NVE BLOWERS are severe duty vacuum INTAKE EXHAUST pumps, designed to be used in liquid waste pumping systems where extended operation is desired. The pump incorporates a ballast air cooling system to provide superior cooling, allowing for extended operation.
Specifications Sereial Number Operating Environment The 4307 and 4310 blowers are designed to move atmospheric air. Do not use to move explosive or corrosive gasses or operate the blower in an area with explosive gases.

It is recommended the operator monitor the blower while running and listen for resonances (increased levels of noise) that may occur at certain RPM’s and operate the blower at speeds above or below the resonance speeds to reduce excess noise. www.natvac.com | 800.253.5500 4307 & 4310 Blower | 11...

While in storage, rotate the shaft three to four revolutions every two weeks to keep gears coated in oil. Before installing a blower that has been stored for any length of time, remove www.natvac.com | 800.253.5500 4307 & 4310 Blower | 13...

Couplers must be guarded to prevent entanglement. Belt Drive All NVE blower input shafts are equipped with an outboard roller bearing which allows the use of V-belt. We do not recommend the use of cogged, synchronous or timing belts.
Improper use of “Hot Shift” (i.e. clutch type, constant mesh) PTO’s can result in severe damage to the blower driveline and blower. Take extra precautions to operate PTO’s within the manufacturer’s recommendations www.natvac.com | 800.253.5500 4307 & 4310 Blower | 17...
Inlet Filter The intake filters are designed to ensure maximum airflow efficiency why keeping out unwanted debris. The filters supplied by NVE use a stainless steel screen and can be cleaned. www.natvac.com | 800.253.5500...
If the blower is intended to be used in pressure mode then a pressure relief valve is required. NVE recommends the use of Kunkle pressure relief valves as they have been proven to work well and have sufficient flow capacity. The valves we supply are factory set to 10 PSI and are sealed.
Secondary Shutoff/Moisture Trap The secondary shutoff or Moisture Trap should also be appropriately sized for the air flow application. Contact NVE for assistance with selecting the shutoff. Bag House Bag houses are typically used in systems where dry material is being pumped. Spec- ification of a proper bag house depends on the frequency and type of dry material being pumped.
Before starting blower, verify the shaft rotates freely by hand. Water can con- dense and freeze in the blower cylinder without warning causing a stall condition at start up. www.natvac.com | 800.253.5500 4307 & 4310 Blower | 21...
