3.3 Adjusting Compressed air flow
Adjusting compressed air flow
It is advised to use a flow regulator for the compressed air (not included).
The air flow will determine how much material will be transferred and how fast the TrueFeed will
be replenished with material, with each loading sequence.
Conair recommends adjusting the air setting to its lowest possible level in order to conserve compressed air
energy. Parameters such as distance, material line bends, the flow characteristics of the material
and vertical rises in the flex hose all play a part in finding the proper setting. Trial and error settings over
several loading sequences will work best to determine the correct air level. Too low of a setting may not move
material effectively enough to satisfy demands cycle after cycle. Too much air will waste energy and cause the
filter on the lid to prematurely blind in an attempt to evacuate excess air.
3.4 Weight level Adjustment
See Chapter 7.10 of the TrueFeed manual for adjustment of the “filling start” weight level and “hopper empty”
weight level.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Preventative maintenance schedule
• Daily
Clean the conveying filter.
If you are running a dusty material or regrind you may need to check and
clean the filter more often. The filter should be cleaned whenever you
change materials.
