Abstract: An air filter arrangement for use in a truck pneumatic product transfer system using a generally rectangular housing and two air filter cartridges to alter the shape thereof (primarily reduce the width thereof) allowing the unit to be mounted centrally behind a truck cab or in other locations. The design and shape allows mounting on the truck in preferred areas that are less utilized for accessory equipment and can increase truck aerodynamics. Additionally the filter arrangement can reduce overall truck weight compared to traditional units.

Abstract: A blower noise silencer comprises both an air turbulence stage and a noise absorption stage. The air turbulence stage includes a tubular screen enclosing a spiral vane wrapping around a central bore running through the air turbulence stage. The screen is surrounded by a hollow chamber. The noise absorption stage includes a hollow tubular screen surrounded by a chamber packed with sound dampening material. Each chamber in the silencer is closed other than through the screen that it surrounds whereas the screens open at one another and to opposite ends of the silencer to provide air flow movement into and out of the silencer.
