II. General Introduction
Description
The Industravac unit consists of a multistage centrifugal
vacuum producer (Series V equipped with a Vortex ® regen-
erative vacuum producer) with continuous duty motor; a
highly effective two-stage separator and a large capacity
dirt can, all mounted on steel legs (stationary model) or a
rubber-tired carriage (mobile model). These components
form a dependable, heavy-duty vacuum cleaning system
that is designed and rated for continuous operation handling
dry, free-flowing materials.
CAUTION: Standard Industravac units must not be used
for liquid pickup or for vacuuming volatile, viscous,
flammable or explosive materials. If such problems
exist, consult your Spencer Representative for a special-
purpose system utilizing either a custom-engineered
Industravac unit or a component-based design with
special separator and other modules specifically selected
for the application.
Mobile Model
The mobile Industravac model is self-contained and easily
moved to various points of use. It is equipped with a motor
starter and 50 feet of heavy-duty four-wire (three conductors
and ground wire) electrical cable, ready for your addition of a
male plug and connection to a suitable power supply. Refer
to the machine nameplate for specific electrical information.
Stationary Model
The stationary Industravac model is intended for permanent
installation in one location, where, for example, it may be
connected to a tubing network to form a central vacuum
cleaning system. Since the motor starter is separately
installed, usually in a remote location, it is not furnished as
standard equipment but is available as an optional Spencer
accessory.
NOTE: If a stationary Industravac unit is to be connected to
a tubing system, check the tubing runs for leaks before
enclosing them in walls where repairs would be difficult.
III. Getting Started
NOTE: If any problems are encountered during installation
or start-up of your Industravac system, consult your local
Spencer Representative.
Moving and Handling
Each Industravac unit is carefully balanced and tested at the
factory. For optimum performance, it must be handled with
care during installation. Using accepted rigging practices
and safety precautions, the unit can be lifted and relocated
with a forklift, overhead crane or hoist.
Storage
If the machine is to be stored for an extended period before
use or between uses, it must be protected from dampness, dirt
and vibration. The inlet and discharge should be covered to
keep foreign matter out; the motor shaft should be periodically
rotated a few times by hand.
