Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes the VRU 10, 15, and 25 Vacuum Railcar Unloading Systems, highlighting their reliability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of operation. These systems are designed for efficient bulk material unloading from railcars, featuring automatic cleaning and minimal maintenance requirements.

Key Features
  • Automatic loading, unloading, and filter cleaning with each cycle.
  • Low-cost and versatile, allowing system expansion by adding receivers.
  • Simple operation with minimal maintenance due to self-cleaning features.

System Components
  • Stainless steel bulk receiver with a 7 ft3 capacity.
  • Vacuum pump assembly with air reversal valve.
  • Dust collector and system control for monitoring up to 12 silos.
  • Railcar unloading tube kit and optional stainless steel flex hoses.

Specifications
  • Models: VRU 10, VRU 15, VRU 25.
  • Motor Horsepower: 10, 15, 25 respectively.
  • Voltage/Amps: 240V (30, 40, 60 Amps) and 480V (15, 20, 30 Amps).
  • Compressed Air Requirement: 60 psi @ 1 CFM for air reversal valve.
  • Dimensions and weight vary by component (control, receiver, pump, dust collector).

Performance
  • Conveying rates up to 50,000 lb/hr and distances up to 1,000 ft.
  • Throughput rates vary by model and material type (PE and PET).
  • Effective conveying distance and rate are detailed for each model.

Conclusion
The VRU systems offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for bulk material unloading, with the flexibility to adapt to growing needs. They are suitable for operations requiring long-life performance without the need for a vacuum/pressure unit investment.

Vacuum Railcar Unloading-1

TPCX027-0811 BULK CONVEYING SYSTEMS VRU 10, 15 AND 25 VACUUM RAILCAR UNLOADING SYSTEMS RAILCAR UNLOADING THAT IS SIMPLE AND SELF-CLEANING Simple to operate and easy to maintain, the system requires minimal attention and features an easy-to-use control. The selfcleaning feature eliminates typical maintenance while the ground level dust collector and silo-mounted stainless steel receiver provide easy access for filter changes. The VRU is a reliable, low cost and simple solution for your railcar unloading requirements. Model VRU HIGHLY RELIABLE, LOW COST, SIMPLE TO OPERATE Its reliability is based on simplicity. The VRU uses a vacuum pump to convey material to a silo-mounted receiver. A timed valve on the pump then reverses the air flow to “power unload” the receiver and backwash all filters in the system without stopping the pump. Operation is completely automatic, highly efficient and fast. A lower cost alternative to combination vacuum/pressure units, the single pump/dust collector design of the VRU can direct material to as many as 12 silos by just adding receivers, allowing your system to grow with your material conveying needs. If you need proven, long-life performance for unloading bulk material from distances up to 500 ft without the investment in a vacuum/pressure unit, put one of Conair’s VRU systems to work for you. n Reliable, efficient operation Loads, power unloads and cleans filters automatically with each cycle. n Low cost, versatile Allows system to grow with your needs. n Simple to operate; easy to maintain Requires minimal attention and maintenance.
