DESCRIPTION

The Twin Post Pressure Ram provides priming assistancewhen dispensing highly viscous materials.

The dual lip follower wipes the container wall clean andprevents material from extruding past the follower in therolled chime areas and in areas with slightly dentedsurfaces.

Vertical movement is controlled by a manual four-way airvalve. Directly above the four-way valve is a pushbutton valvewhich, when depressed, directs air to the underside of thefollower to assist in its withdrawal from the drum. Below thefour-way valve is an air regulator to regulate the primingpressure.

OPERATION

To lower the pressure primer into a drum, loosen thepriming probe located in the pump flange. Then, rotate thefour-way valve handle downward to direct compressed airabove the twin air pistons, lowering the follower. After all airhas escaped from beneath the follower, tighten the probe.

Adjust the air regulator on the pressure primer to set thepriming pressure. Use only enough air pressure to allowthe pump to prime. Excessive air pressure will cause thematerial in the drum to extrude past the follower rings. Theregulator controls only the priming pressure and does notregulate the pressure to extract the follower.

To remove the follower from the drum, rotate the four-wayvalve handle upward. Depress the pushbutton valve toprovide an air assist under the follower. Without this airassist, a vacuum forms under the follower, retarding upwardmovement.

The four-way valve has a positive neutral position whichpermits stopping the follower in any position. The followerwill remain in position even if the airline is disconnected.

Part No. 988551 LOW LEVEL CUT-OFF KIT

FOR TWIN POST PRESSURE RAMS

OPERATION

A Low Level Cut-Off is used to shut off the air supply to thepump airmotor when the follower nears the bottom of thematerial drum, thus preventing air from being pumped intothe material supply line.

The Low Level Cut-Off uses a quick acting air valve which isactuated through the vertical travel of the follower assembly.

The valve is mounted on an adjustable plate and contactsthe rim of the material drum as the follower approaches thedrum bottom.

Once having been tripped, the valve will remain closed untilit is manually reset. This assures that the pump cannotoperate during drum changes.

INSTALLATION

Assemble parts as shown:1) Assemble Mounting Plate (Item 10) to the tie rod of the

Twin Post Ram with the U-bolt (Item 1), Washers (Item 3)and Nuts (Item 4).

Position the Mounting Plate (Item 10) so that the top ofthe bracket is directly beneath the channel assembly ofthe Twin Post Ram.

Bracket should be turned on the tie rod so that the leverarm of the Valve (Item 8) is deflected upward by the rim ofthe drum when the follower nears the bottom of thedrum.

2) Assemble Air Hose (Item 7) into air inlet of the pumpairmotor.

3) Install air hose from air regulator of main air supply lineinto air inlet of the Valve (Item 8).

SPECIFICATIONS

Size - 21-3/4" x 21-3/4" x 42-1/4" heightElevator travel - 17"Operating air pressure - 30-150 psiNormal air pressure required for pressure primer - 40 psiNormal air pressure required for follower extraction - 60 psi

The Single Post Rams are equipped with a four-way valve which permits the air supply to be coupled to the unit at all times.An air regulator and gauge (supplied by customer) is recommended between main air supply line and pump.

TO INSTALL HIGH VISCOSITY PASTE PUMPTUBES TO SINGLE POST PRESSURE RAM

Insert pumptube through support bracket and follower until the end of pumptube rests on base. Tighten the three followerscrews and the pump support securely.

OPERATIONIMPORTANT: Be sure Four-Way valve handle is in the center position before attaching air supply line to Pressure Primer.

1. Move valve handle to the "counter-clockwise" (raise position). This lifts the pump high enough that a container ofmaterial may be positioned beneath the pump and the follower. Place container on base between the three lock-downclamps and turn the cam assembly to clamp container securely in place.

2. Remove the Vent Plug from the follower.3. Move the handle to the "clockwise" (lower position). This relieves air pressure from the top of the air cylinder and directs

it to the bottom of the cylinder. The pump and follower lower into the container and apply pressure priming force on topof the material in the container. This forces any air which may be trapped beneath the follower to escape through thevent plug or probe opening. Replace the vent plug or probe. When material is being pumped, the valve handle shouldbe left in the "clockwise" (lower position) to assist the pumping action. However, the air pressure should be held belowthe point that would be required for a heavier material than for a lighter material.

NOTE:The Pressure Ram can be stopped in any position by moving the Four-Way Valve handle to the "center" position. If the valvehandle is moved to the "center" position when the Pressure Ram is in the raised position, the air line can be removed andthe Pressure Ram will remain up. The valve handle should always be moved to the "center" position when Pressure Ramis not in use.

TO PRIME PUMPOpen bleeder plug in pump outlet body. Connect air supply line to airmotor to start pump operating. Four-way valve handleof Pressure Ram should be in the "clockwise" (lower position). Continue operating pump until material flows from bleederplug opening. Disconnect air supply line from airmotor to shut off pump and tighten bleeder plug. Connect air supply line toairmotor again and open control valve at the end of the delivery hose. Continue operating pump until material flows freelyfrom control valve. Pump is now fully primed. If material does not flow freely, it is an indication that an air pocket may betrapped in the follower casting cavity. Remove vent plug from the follower to expel air pocket.

TO REMOVE EMPTY CONTAINERThe Rams have an air assist valve to aid in withdrawing the follower from the container. Leave the vent plug or probescrewed in, move the valve handle to the "counter-clockwise" (raise position) to raise the unit at the same time manuallydepress the button of the air assist valve to direct air beneath the follower. The lock-down clamps hold container, permittingthe follower to be pulled free.
