FUNCTION TEST
Purge Function
The Purge function is the automatic filter cleaning system. It cleans the airfilter by releasing compressed air through
the filter which allows the dust to fall down in the longopac bag. The Purge function can be in Automatic or Manual
mode. When it's in Automatic mode the PLC programming will control the cleaning and when it's in Manual mode
it will be executed by pressing the Purge button S3. The compressed air is generated by the air-compressor M2, and it
releases air when the Solenoid Valve K5 gets a 230 V signal from the PLC (CR2). The Compressed air is contained in
the air tank (XX9 and its controlled and managed by the pressure switch (S10).
