Donaldson Company, Inc. Description Torit Bin Vents (TBVs) apply cartridge technology to a continuous-duty dust collection system, offering significant advantages. They are designed specifically for silo, storage bin and conveyor transfer applications. Standard models include both the Insertable-mounted cabinet and the Plenummounted cabinet, with each available in three filter configurations: a two (2) filter unit (TBV-2), a four (4) filter unit (TBV-4) and a six (6) filter unit (TBV-6).
Bin Vent, Models TBV-2, TBV-4, and TBV-6 Purpose and Intended Use Misuse or modification of this equipment may result in personal injury. Do not misuse or modify. The Torit Bin Vent is used to vent displaced air and contain valuable and/or harmful products in bins or silos. As materials are conveyed to a bin by various means (mechanical, gravity, and pneumatic), air inside the enclosed bin is displaced. The process by which excess air is removed is called bin venting.
Donaldson Company, Inc. Operation During normal operation, contaminated or dustladen air enters the TBV through the cabinet opening at the bottom of the unit, which is fastened to the silo or storage container. The dust-laden incoming air is collected on the outside surface of the filter elements. As the dust cake collects on the outside filter surface, gravity and air pulse-jet cleaning force the dust to drop back into the storage bin.
