FlexPAK 800/1000 DX
3 Description
3.1 Function
FlexPAK 800/1000 DX is a complete vacuum unit with
a direct driven side channel fan fitted as one unit on a
steel frame and a start and control unit with an integ-
rated 24 V transformer. The unit is controlled by a fre-
quency converter, has automatic start/stop, and auto-
matic filter cleaning.
3.1.1 Filtration in two stages
FlexPAK 800/1000 DX filters particles in two stages.
In the first stage, coarse particles are separated away
in the inlet. In the second stage, fine particles are sep-
arated away by filter bags, see Figure 9.
3.1.2 Automatic filter cleaning
FlexPAK 800/1000 DX uses filter cleaning by a short
blast of reversed airflow with atmospheric pressure.
By the rapid opening of the Filter Cleaning Valve (FCV)
located on top of the filter, a powerful blast of re-
versed airflow is created, efficiently dislodging dust
from the filter bags, see Figure 8.
3.1.3 Control filter
The unit is equipped with a control filter, see
ure 4B, item 16. The control filter filters the air after
the main filter to ensure that no material continues
to the suction source in case of a main filter break-
age. The control filter functions as a safety device and
does not increase the filtration efficiency.
The pressure drop over the control filter is monitored,
and a signal is sent to the control unit if the pressure
difference reaches the set value. The pressure differ-
ence is preset at 4 kPa /40 mbar / 0.58 PSI.
3.2 FlexPAK 800/1000 DX and ATEX
3.2.1 Area classification
FlexPAK DX is designed to extract combustible and
non-combustible dust, but the unit "as a whole" is not
to be placed in an area that is classified as a zone ac-
cording to directive 1999/92/EC. It is only the inside of
the filter that meets ATEX requirements.
FlexPAK DX may be used with duct systems internally
classified as zone 20, 21 or 22.
The product has no
ternal ignition source. The inside is to be considered a
simple filter/silo and does not fall under the scope of
the directive 2014/34/EU.
