BELLOJET® ZA
Tanker Loading Bellows With Built-In Dust Filter

19 Description
BELLOJET® ZA Loading Bellows are used for efficient, dust-
controlled loading of dry, dusty bulk solids into tankers. The
spouts are provided with inner tapered cones to contain the flow
of material and an outer double bellows to provide for dust
removal. At the lower end of the Loading Bellows, a polymer-
coated SINT® cone with special sealing properties is provided for
connection to the tanker.
The BELLOJET® dust filtration system, which includes 8 cartridges
to provide an overall surface area of 10m2 (108 sq ft), is
equipped with a 2.2 kW (3.0 HP) fan.
Function
First the Loading Bellows is lowered from the stand-by position towards the inlet spout of the tanker. As soon as the bellows outlet cone has settled
on the inlet spout of the tanker, the slack cable switch mounted outside the transmission box stops lowering of the bellows. The limit switch inside the
transmission box stops both full extension and contraction of the bellows. Material loading is started by opening the silo outlet valve.
During the filling of the tanker, the polymer SINT® coating of the outlet cone acts as a perfect dust seal. At the same time the filter fan continuously
sucks dust through the external bellows into the integrated filter cartridges in the upper section of the unit and exhausts excess air. A slack cable
switch activates further extension of the bellows as the tanker lowers under the increasing material weight. A level monitoring device installed in the
centre of the outlet cone signals maximum material level in the tanker compartment and orders immediate closing of the silo outlet valve. Contraction

of the bellows back to stand-by position starts after a delay of approximately 10 seconds in order to allow the filter to evacuate the remaining dust.
Once the bellows is fully contracted, the cable limit switch inside the transmission box stops operation. The preset after shut-down cleaning cycle now
provides for additional pulse-jet cleaning of the filter cartridges for another 10 minutes.

Application
BELLOJET® ZA Telescopic Loading Bellows are suitable for continuous loading at a
maximum flow rate of 250m3/h (147 cfm) of bulk material.

DS.220.ZA.EN.March2012.R00
The outlet can be equipped with an anti-spillage device which acts as a dustproof stop-
per as the Loading Bellows is being raised. The equipment features an electric winch.
The fan of the BELLOJET® dust filtration system increases the efficiency of the filter-
ing elements. Due to an after-shutdown-cleaning-cycle, the filter elements are always
in perfect condition at the start of each new loading.

Benefits
 No product contamination thanks to the  Flexible chute in Neoprene covered by Hypalon® makes
following features: bellows weather-proof, highly abrasion and temperature-
resistant and durable;
• Double bellows which keeps the falling material  Reverse cone with inside level indicator indicates when
separate from the dust tanker is full, raises loading bellows gradually and improves
• 304/316 stainless steel contact parts material distribution inside the tanker;
• White colour food-grade polyester internal/external chutes  Outlet can be equipped with an anti-spillage device which acts
• Built-in filter unit which recycles the dust extracted as a dustproof stopper as the Loading Bellows is being raised
into the tanker and prevents that insects or birds enter inside the outlet;
• ATEX zone 22 certification  Two lifting cables outside the material flow raise and lower
• Built-in dust filter reduces dust emission during the loading bellows without any cable wear due to material
filling operation friction and obstruction to material flow.
