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. The most common industries for the
TBV are food/agriculture such as grain and process/
manufacturing such as chemical/pharmaceutical,
cement, wood, foundries (clay, sand, additives), and
waste treatment. The most common dusts are lime,
cement, carbon, plastics, and wood.
Combustible materials such as buffing lint, paper, wood, metal dusts, weld fume, or
flammable coolants or solvents represent potential fire and/or explosion hazards. Use
special care when selecting, installing, and operating all dust, fume, or mist collection equipment
when such combustible materials may be present in order to protect workers and property from
serious injury or damage due to a fire and/or explosion.
Consult and comply with all National and Local Codes related to fire and/or explosion properties
of combustible materials when determining the location and operation of all dust, fume, or mist
collection equipment.
Standard Donaldson Torit equipment is not equipped with fire extinguishing or explosion protection
systems.
