Double-Shoot Plenum

A - Plenum

B - Primary Manifold

SINGLE-SHOOT PLENUM: Standard single-shoot plenum is an open chamber.

DOUBLE-SHOOT PLENUM: Optional double-shoot plenum has an adjustable damper used to divide and balance air flow between the top and bottom runs.

At each meter is a primary manifold (B) where air stream picks-up product as it is metered from the tank.

Air ports in the manifold ends provide pressurizing air to the top of the tank through passages in the meter housing and ladder tubes.

Stationary single-shoot manifolds are fixed to bottom of meter housings and can be converted to stationary double-shoot manifolds. Stationary single-shoot and double-shoot manifolds do not utilize seals between plastic components. Some initial air leakage between joints is typical, and will tend to seal due to dust over normal usage.
