Why dose my felder rl 200 only fill one bin

Hi Daniel,?

It would be helpful to know some additional details, such as:
-- Year machine was built?
-- Which bin is being filled, which is not being filled?
-- Are the filters clean, or packed with sawdust??
-- What kind of media are you collecting? Chips from a planer or shaper, or fine dust from a sander??
-- What diameter piping are you using??

My RL 160 fills the bins somewhat unevenly, but it seems to be dependent on whether I'm collecting chips or dust. I just keep an eye on the fill levels, and replace the bags as needed.... I'm running a RL160, 6" piping, mixture of dust and chips, antistatic filters, with pneumatic filter cleaning, which I make sure to actuate several times a day....?

If you have more than one outlet they are all going to fill lopsided . If you’re really disturbed by it you can add a rotary air lock.

Tom,

how much air does your RL 160 use during cleaning?? Is it like the RL250 and need a huge air supply?

Hi PK,

The automatic filter cleaning on the RL160 and RL200 is different than the RL250/300/350. Whereas the RL250/300/350 uses a volume of compressed air to directly clean the filters, the RL160 and RL200 utilizes a pneumatic cylinder to actuate the "flipper bar" that would otherwise be pulled/pushed by hand. When engaged, the cylinder actuates ten times (five "pulls", five "pushes").?

In terms of amount of air used, I'm currently using a Makita MAC2400??, which is a hand-carry, 4 gallon compressor rated at 4.2cfm @ 90psi. When the filter cleaning system cycles, my memory is that it draws enough air that my air compressor kicks on midway through the cycle, and even my little hand carry compressor easily keeps up. I assume that once I upgrade to a larger compressor I could go a full filter cleaning cycle without initiating the compressor pump.?

I hope this helps, happy to go into greater depth if you'd like.?

Tom,

This is exactly what I needed to know!? Thanks so much!
