Location

Industravac V-Jet vacuum producers are designed for operation at or near sea level atmospheric pressure and a nominal ambient temperature of 70 °F (21 °C). When necessary, they can be factory-designed for higher altitude or higher temperature operation.

Installation

No special foundation is required. A level concrete floor or pad is recommended, although any substantial floor is satisfactory. The Industravac V-Jet base should be placed on rubber isolation pads furnished with the unit.

Be sure installation area is accessible for servicing by allowing several feet of clearance. The exhaust should discharge outdoors which requires an optional tubing adapter, or into a room with volume and sufficient ventilation to allow air to escape. Avoid placing the unit in an enclosed room. Ambient temperature should not exceed 104 °F (40 °C).

Unpacking

NOTE: The Industravac V-Jet ships on two skids; vacuum producer on one skid; separator positioned horizontally on another skid.

1. Uncrate the Industravac V-Jet components, saving all literature, boxes and parts.

2. Remove packing materials and plugs. Look inside dirt can for parts and accessories (equalizing line, dirt can liners, hoses, isolation pads, etc.) packed inside for shipping purposes.

3. Refer to the packing slip to verify all components ordered are received.

Industravac V-Jet Set-Up

NOTE: Read all instructional and warning labels on the machine components before handling and operating.

1. Connecting Components. Slide rubber sleeves and clamps over each end of the inlet elbow. Insert one end of the inlet elbow into the separator outlet and the other end into the vacuum producer inlet. Tighten rubber sleeve clamps. At the base of the separator and vacuum producer, insert the rubber spaces and fasteners and tighten.

2. Separator. Open the separator access door to confirm that the door gasket and filter bags are in place and secure. With the door open, operate the external bag shaker to check for proper action. Close separator access door.

Move the dirt can to a lower position to confirm that nothing has been left inside, and check that the dirt can gasket is in place beneath the separator. Raise the dirt can and ensure seal is tight against the gasket. Inspect both separator inlet ports to confirm that ports are clear.

If optional dirt can liners will be used, install one liner in the dirt can and make sure the equalizing line is in place, properly connected to the separator and dirt can.

CAUTION: The dirt can liner must not be used without the equalizing line, as the liner will be sucked out of the can, up against the filter bags. Conversely, do not use the equalizing line without the dirt can liner. Mechanical and environmental damage may result.

CAUTION: If the separator is equipped with an optional explosion relief port, it must be installed in accordance with the National Fire Code and all applicable safety regulations. The port should be positioned away from nearby personnel and ducted to the outdoors.

3. Electrical.

NOTE: All wiring and electrical adjustments or installations should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes.

The Industravac V-Jet vacuum producer is furnished with a C-Face, premium-efficient TEFC motor designed for 60 Hz, 3 phase, 200-230/460 operation.

NOTE: The electrical service at the installation site must supply the voltage stamped on the motor nameplate. Operation at an incorrect voltage will result in a damaged motor.

To make electrical connections, follow the wiring instructions furnished. All wiring, power cords and circuit breakers should be of ample capacity to ensure that proper voltage is maintained at the motor terminals while starting and running. Starters should have thermal overload protection and low-voltage protection.

Electrical Accessories. Optional accessories such as an Electronic Modulating Bleed Control and motorized filter bag shaker require 115VAC, single-phase electrical service. They should be installed using the separate instruction sheets accompanying them.

A grounding lug is provided for optional grounded filter bags. To effectively bleed off static electricity charges, this lug should be securely connected to an electrical ground.

4. Motor Rotation. Perform a pre-start check to ensure the motor turns in the correct direction. A rotation direction arrow is located on the vacuum producer casing. To confirm that the motor is wired correctly, momentarily start the motor. “Bump” or jog the start button and observe the direction of rotation at either the end bell of the motor or the motor shaft, whichever is visible. If the rotation is incorrect, reverse the motor wiring.

Note: The vacuum producer will operate both ways; with incorrect rotation, unit will produce insufficient suction.

V. MaintenanceCAUTION: Disconnect electrical power before performing any maintenance procedure.

1. LubricationNOTE: The housing does not require lubrication. Follow the steps below to ensure the correct components are lubricated properly.

1. Motor. Follow motor manufacturer’s recommendations.

Regarding items 2 through 4, apply light lubricating oil yearly or more often as needed.

2. Bag shaker rod. Grease more often than yearly if application requires more lubrication.

3. Lift cams. Lubricate both left- and right-hand cams.

4. Dirt can casters.

2. Vacuum Producer –Multistage Centrifugal (Series V-Jet)NOTE: For maintenance of the motor, consult motor manu-facturer’s information, provided with the equipment.

NOTE: To preserve the warranty, ensure that disassembly, repair or alteration is never done by unauthorized personnel during the warranty period. The maintenance instructions that follow are provided as a customer service to facilitate field repair after the warranty period.

If operating problems are detected, notify your local Spencer Representative.

Disassembly / Re-assembly procedure

CAUTION: This procedure assumes that electrical power and piping have been disconnected and that unit has been taken out of service.

Disassembly – Motor Section

1. Shut down and lock out electrical power supply to motor.

2. Remove door held in place by (4) ¼-20 nuts and washers and set aside.

3. Place floor jack under motor and raise until it contacts bottom of motor.

4. Loosen set screw in coupling sleeve then slide sleeve toward motor.

5. Remove coupling element.

6. Remove (4) ½-13 screws and washers connecting motor bracket to bearing housing. Lower motor and bracket and remove from casing.

7. Loosen set screws on coupling sleeve, then remove coupling hub and keyway from impeller shaft.

Disassembly – Top Section1. Remove end head held in place by (16) sets of 3/8-16

screws, nuts and washers.

2. Remove retaining ring, steel shim, and if provided, any aluminum shims from shaft.

3. Slide top impeller from shaft. (Take care to ensure that when impellers and shims are reinstalled they are placed in the proper order as to not upset impeller balance integrity).

IV. Operation and Adjustments NOTE: The unit is designed for operation under load. For maximum performance, it must always be used as part of a system, which includes all of its components.

Machine Start-Up1. Turn the unit on after completing the previous set-up

procedures.

2. Check the tubing system and vacuum equipment for leaks. At the separator, check the access door, dirt can seal and hose inlet valves. Examine all hoses, tubes, and fittings connected to the Industravac V-Jet unit. Air leaks are highly detrimental to the overall system performance, wasting power and impairing the operating efficiency.

If unit is equipped with the following optional accessories:

Discharge air gate - With a full vacuum system load connected to the separator inlet(s), connect an ammeter to the motor circuit. Measure the amperage of the motor. If below the full-load current rating, open air gate until the amperage reaches, but does not exceed, the full-rated motor capacity. The air gate should then be fixed to prevent opening beyond this point.

Electronic Modulating Bleed Control (EMBC) - Follow adjustment instructions in the separate data sheet accompanying the EMBC.

CAUTION: When the vacuum producer is operating, its housing will be hot to the touch. Use caution when making inspections or adjustments in this area.

Surge (Low Flow Condition)

CAUTION: Do not operate vacuum producer in surge (unstable low-flow range). Damage to vacuum producer caused by operating in surge is not covered by Spencer warranty.

A vacuum producer in surge produces a rush or pulsating rhythmic air sound caused when airflow into or out of the vacuum producer is restricted. In addition to its characteristic noise, surge may be detected by power or pressure fluctuations. Surge is destructive because it is accompanied by excessive temperatures and aerodynamic forces that will ultimately cause mechanical failure. A surge condition is eliminated by increasing the airflow either into the system or to a bypass or vent. Various surge control devices are available from Spencer.

NOTE: If a vacuum producer surges violently at start-up, avoid recurrences by leaving the throttling valve open at or near its normal operating position.

Hose and tools

For optimum performance, Industravac V-Jet units have been designed and sized specifically for use only with complementary Spencer vacuum cleaning components—Spencer tubing, fittings, hoses, tools, attachments and accessories.
