Convenient Ship and Barge Unloading Solutions
The DK Vac-U-Vator line of equipment is available in two models, the 4080 and 4090, providing ship and barge unloading solutions for a variety of pneumatic conveying applications. All models are offered with either a cyclonic cleaning intake cyclone or a filter receiver. The cyclone intake provides an efficient cyclonic cleaning with a backup screen to prevent carryover. The filter receiver (FR) is equipped with its own dry compressed air for cleaning the 10-micron filter tubes with a pulsed air system. When used as a vacuum-only system, this machine has low dust emissions. All models may be equipped with an intake and/or discharge boom.
Models 4083 and 4093 are a universal solution for your ship and barge unloading and bulk transfer needs. All models are offered with either a cyclonic cleaning intake cyclone or a filter receiver.

Features & Options
Chassis
New sturdy, heavy-duty chassis with built-in lifting rings and tie downs. All welded, rigid steel frame. New heavy-duty tow bar and steering assembly permits maneuvering in close quarters. High ground clearance. Hidden tie rods eliminate damage.
Turbo Fan Blower
The proven, durable turbo-blower design provides high conveying rates. It is dynamically and statically balanced. Two, three, or four-stage high-pressure turbo-blowers are available on different models. A new heavy-duty bearing arrangement is also included.
Patented Air Regulator
Simple design. Prevents engine overloading, conserves fuel. Automatically balances air flow to the volume of grain, reducing the chance of grain breakage during “clean-up” operations. Yields perfect dynamic flow balance and horsepower reserve.
Patented Centrifugal Separator
A heavy-duty centrifugal separator can be easily turned by one person directly toward the point of intake to increase conveying capacity. It is made of heavy-gauge steel for long life. A visual inspection of conveying can be made through a combination access door and inspection window in the lower cone of the cyclone.
Airlock
This heavy-duty rotary feeder has a simplified drive, safety slip clutch, and automatic power cut-off. It also has a positive lock system on adjustable airlock tips. The removable airlock inspection panel on larger models allows adjustment of tips without disassembly of the airlock or cyclone. A new hinged chain guard on the airlock drive system permits quick and easy servicing.
Trouble-Free Main Drive System
Utilizes a single back, multiple groove V-belt drive, eliminating “belt flip,” mismatched belt problems, and excessive wear of belt and bearings. The drive-belt system has a new, simple external adjustment device. Servicing of drives and bearings is simplified with a drop-down guard on the main belt drive.
Diesel Engine
The 300 HP diesel engine features safety shutdown controls, a commercial air cleaner with a safety element, a full instrument panel, a high ambient radiator, and a heavy-duty double-plate clutch. Electric motors and gasoline (petrol) engines are also available.
Heavy Duty Finish
The machine is coated with a heavy-duty paint system that includes an 85% zinc-rich primer, plus epoxy foundation and finish coatings.
