Vac’s Hopper Separators are the ultimate filtration devices for
large central vacuum systems. They effectively separate high volumes
of debris from your system’s airflow and deposit waste into
convenient portable drums. Our hopper separators are available in
several sizes and can be equipped as Primary Separators or Pulse Jet
Separators depending on your application.
With Primary Hopper Separators, “dirty” air is pulled through
vacuum hoses and piping and then directly into the separator. Debris
passes around a precisely engineered baffle and then drops out of
the air stream through centrifugal action. Debris drops into a
portable drum while air and any remaining particles move on to the
next filtration device (typically a separator equipped with filter
bags).
Pulse Jet Hopper Separators separate debris from the air
stream two ways. First “dirty” air passes through a cyclonic chamber
that forces debris downward and into a collection drum. Air and
remaining particles then pass through a second chamber equipped with
filter bags. These filter bags typically capture between 95% and 99%
of particles at 3
microns. Pneumatic valve timers periodically send powerful bursts of
air into the filter chamber to break apart collected
debris and send it into the collection drum.
AutoVac’s team of professionals will help you select the proper
filtration devices from our existing models and sizes – or we can
design a custom hopper separator to suit your exact requirements. |
