Data is highest sound level out of 4 places around the blower at 1 meter
Data represents average of several units run at nominal voltage
Lowest to highest maximum dba level throughout performance range is shown
Readings at other than the maximum around the blower at 1 meter may be from 2 to 10 dba less than data shown
Readings taken in a laboratory sound room that does not reflect much noise

Silencers

Add one (suction side) or a second silencer (pressure side) to your blower to reduce noise generated by the blower. Adding up to two silencers can decrease decibel level by up to 10DB. The level of noise reduction will vary depending on which blower and silencer(s) are combined.

Filters

Filter canister with filter element is always recommended for suction of the blower. The filter assembly will keep clean, dry air entering the blower. It will remove particulate matter and contaminates which have the potential to damage the blower.

Trim Removal - Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for FoxTrimaway® by Converter Accessory(CAC)

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

Optimize Trim Removal System Performance with a VFD

Pneumatic trim removal systems must be of sufficient size to properly convey your most difficult to handle edge trim. Usually, pneumatic trim removal systems are designed to convey your thickest, heaviest, widest trim, running at their fastest speed. Blower horsepower, duct size and venturi design must all be considered when designing a pneumatic waste removal system to work for your most demanding application.

But what happens when you want to run thinner, lighter, narrower trim at varying running speeds? Often times, trim removal systems are of proper size to convey your “worst case” trim. However, the overall system design may be too great for a large percentage of the less demanding trim removal requirements. Why is this a problem?

Excessive noise due to “trim flutter” in the system may occur. This excessive noise occurs because of the abundance of air flow across light weight and very flexible edge trim.

Excessive power usage can be expensive over time. Powering a large blower, required for your most demanding edge trim may be wasteful when considering how much power you actually need for your lighter duty conveying needs.

Edge trim breaks can occur at the system pick up points. This breakage can cause the edge trim to misfeed into the system. The trim may end up on the floor or somewhere other than in the trim removal system.

A variable frequency drive (VFD) can help alleviate some of the headaches. A VFD allows you to control the speed of the AC motor on the blower, which is powering your trim removal system. By controlling the speed of the motor, you then control the amount of air through the trim removal system. This may help you fine tune the system for optimum performance for your lightest to heaviest application, thereby decreasing noise, saving power and eliminating trim-breaks.
