UNLOADING
THAT IS SIMPLE
AND SELF-CLEANING
Simple to operate and easy to maintain,
the system requires minimal attention and
features an easy-to-use control. The selfcleaning feature eliminates typical maintenance while the ground level dust
collector and silo-mounted stainless steel
receiver provide easy access for filter
changes. The VRU is a reliable, low cost
and simple solution for your railcar
unloading requirements.
Model VRU
HIGHLY RELIABLE, LOW COST, SIMPLE TO OPERATE
Its reliability is based on simplicity. The
VRU uses a vacuum pump to convey material to a silo-mounted receiver. A timed
valve on the pump then reverses the air
flow to “power unload” the receiver and
backwash all filters in the system without
stopping the pump. Operation is completely automatic, highly efficient and
fast.
A lower cost alternative to combination
vacuum/pressure units, the single
pump/dust collector design of the VRU
can direct material to as many as 12
silos by just adding receivers, allowing your system to grow with your
material conveying needs.
If you need proven, long-life
performance for unloading
bulk material from distances
up to 500 ft without the investment in a vacuum/pressure unit, put one of
Conair’s VRU systems to
work for you.
