SoundBarrier™ — Tech Tips

Here are some tips to help get your SoundBarrier™ up and running as quickly as possible.

Setup

Install the enclosure on the frame by inserting the adjustment shaft into the frame tube. Be sure that the flat section of the adjustment shaft is on the same side as the two adjustment screws in the frame tube. Back the adjustment screws out if the shaft cannot clear them. Tighten the adjustment screws with a 3/16” Allen wrench. Remove the clear top and set it aside to prevent damage.

If your SoundBarrier was supplied with blank inlet/exit guides, they must be punched to accommodate the process size. The hole must be punched in the center of the guide. After punching the guides, install the guide between the enclosure box and the guide ring with the four provided screws.

Install the Air Wipe with bracket, guide, and splashguard inside the enclosure with the provided hardware.

Install the panel mounted quick-release fittings in the back of the SoundBarrier. Each enclosure is supplied with two quick-release fitting assemblies. Match the fitting tube size to the Air Wipe that you are using.

Separate the fitting halves by depressing the thumb latch and remove the panel nut from the coupling body. Insert the coupling body from the outside of the SoundBarrier and install the panel nut from the inside of the enclosure.

Tighten the panel nut using a 13/16” open end or adjustable wrench.

Mounting

Position the SoundBarrier enclosure in line with the process and loosen the two adjustment screws in the frame tube.

Adjust the height of the enclosure by turning the shaft adjustment nut on the adjustment shaft. Tighten the adjustment screws in the frame tube to secure the enclosure in place.

Secure the frame to the floor. The SoundBarrier base frame is supplied with four .50” (12.7 mm) dia. mounting holes and must be secured to the floor. The floor-mounting surface should be flat and level.

Connect the drain plug on the bottom of the unit to a fluid recycling or disposal system. Drain tubes are not supplied with the SoundBarrier and must be provided.

Note: Some air will pass through the drain. Ensure that your recovery or disposal system can accommodate this occurrence.

Final Adjustments

Thread the process material through the inlet guide, Air Wipe, and out the exit guide to the next process.

Adjust the Air Wipe guide by loosening the guide adjustment handle and repositioning the guide. Tighten the handle to secure the guide. Note: The guide handle ratchets for ease of operation.

Air Supply

Huestis Industrial Air Wipes require a clean, dry air supply usually operated at approximately 60 PSI.

Remove the hose lock from the coupling body and insert it over the air supply tube. Connect the air supply tube to the coupling body and reattach the lock to the body.

Connect the hose from the Air Wipe to the coupling insert in the same manner as the coupling body.

Insert the coupling insert inside the coupling body.

Maintenance

SoundBarrier requires very little maintenance. The inlet/exit guides will wear over time and must be inspected periodically.
