Installation/Operating instruction for the FilterPAK 8000
The FilterPAK 8000 is a high capacity, re-circulating fluid delivery system designed to use with larger vibratory systems
such as the VibraKING 85, or when greater time between filter changes is advantageous.
Specifications:
• 40 gallon total volume
• 15 gallon working volume
• Dual polyester filter bags (5 to 100 micron, 10 micron standard)
• 2 gallon per minute fed capacity at a 30 inch head
• Removable sludge tray
• Two submersible pumps
• One “outside” grade junction box
• Stainless steel construction
The FilterPAK 8000 provides filtration of vibratory fluids via replaceable filter bags, gravity settling, and a series of flow
over baffles. The replaceable filters are available from Burr King Manufacturing in 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, and 100-micron
meshes. Select finer mesh (i.e. 10 micron vs. 100 micron) for greater filtration. Finer mesh filters will have shorter service
life than filters with coarser mesh, but will provide clearer filtration and thus cleaner vibratory processing. The standard
filter that is provided with the FilterPAK 8000 is 10-micron mesh.
To place your FilterPAK 8000 in service follow these instructions (SEE PICTURES LAST PAGE)
1. Install a 1.0-inch male barb into the drain outlet of your VibraKING chamber.
2. Connect the 1.0-inch clear plastic hose between the input to the FilterPAK 8000 and the chamber output
drain.
3. Route the 1/4-inch pump tube from the chamber input to the feeder pump connection. Pass the tube and the pump power
cord through the 1 inch hole of the protective rubber grommet on the side of the FilterPAK 8000. You may split the
grommet to accept the pump power cord and fluid feeder tube.
4. Place the pumps into the brackets that are provided in the central and end chamber.
5. Assure the two filter feeder tubes are connected to the central pump via the TEE and hoses provided.
6. Add water to the FilterPAK 8000 to the level of the ¾ inch holes in the various baffles. Do not fill
beyond the small hole found in the end baffle near the waste input. At this fill level there are 15 gallons of
fluid in the FilterPAK 8000. Do not over fill the FilterPAK.
7. Add compounds (soaps) of the type and the ratios suggested by the compound manufacturer (Burr King recommends
BKS60, AR60, or burnishing soaps for de-burring and most surface moderation). In example, if the suggested ratio is
2-oz. soap per gallon of water, add about 40oz. of soap to the FilterPAK reservoir and mix with the 15 gallons of water
previously added. We recommend that you premix all fluids.
8. Position the lid such that the 1.0-inch input is directly above the sludge tray. Secure the lid with the clamps
provided.
9. Adjust the metering valve on your vibratory chamber to the desired fluid flow rate. The pump that is provided with the
FilterPAK 8000 is capable of providing 2 gallons per minute at a 30-inch rise. Adjust the valve to maintain the media
wet but do not flood the chamber.
10. The filters in your FilterPAK 8000 will require periodic change. The length of time between changes will vary
depending on the capacity of your chamber, the media type you are using, the chamber liquid flow rate, the material you are
processing, the mass of your material, and naturally the mesh size of the filter you use. To replace the filters remove the
unit lid, position the fluid feeder tubes clear of each filter and withdraw the filters. Install the new filters and reposition the
fluid feeder tubes. You will find it helpful to have a bucket handy into which you should place the depleted filters
