OPTIONS AVAILABLE

DUST OUTLET: Flanged dust outlet (non Vaculoader® or Compaculoader™) 6” or 8” diameter sized by MIDWEST, is used to place the Roundabout™ positioner, Paragon™ loading spout and vehicle being loaded under a negative pressure reducing or eliminating dust. Includes air vibrator mounting pad for (1) pneumatic vibrator.

LOW PROFILE HOPPER: This option is available for applications with limited head room or to reduce the height of the silo if used in new construction. Low profile hopper is aerated to provide a cushion of air for certain productssuch as cement, flyash, lime, etc. and to assist in the flowability of the product through the system and into the vehicle. The low profile hopper includes an aeration blower installed and prepiped.

AUTOMATIC RETURN TO CENTER FEATURE: With appropriate push button intalled in operator control panel or pendant the spout postioner can automatically be returned to the center position after each loading has been completed.

PAL™ PROGRAMABLE AUTOMATED LOCATOR: This optional PAL™ automatic hatch finder is located on the Paragon™ series loading spout and automatically seeks and locates an open truck hatch. Operator actuated, this hatch finder will “hunt” for an open hatch in both directions of travel. When activated, the Paragon™ Series Bulk Loading Spout will lower down to a point 6” above the truck hatch and begin seeking an “opening”. When found the loading spout will lower down and into the hatch. Slack cable limit switch contact will inform the operator that the silo withdrawal valve can be opened and loading can begin. Optional green “ready to load” light can be included in the control panel or pendant or the system can be completly automatic with the slack cable limit switch signals automatically opening the product withdrawal valve.

PREWIRING/PREPIPING: MIDWEST Internally Vented Spout Positioner accessories can be prewired to a common NEMA 4X junction box with a numbered terminal strip located on main pan. The drive motor is not prewired unless specified.

MOTOR PREWIRING: Spout positioner motors can be prewired to a common NEMA 4X junction box near the accessory prewiring junction box and to also accept the intermediate spout motor prewiring
