Small Vacuum Conveyors Attach to Ordinary Piping
Exair’s aluminum 3/8 and ½ NPT Threaded Line Vac air-operated conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a powerful conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials.
Exair’s aluminum 3/8 and ½ NPT Threaded Line Vac air-operated conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a powerful conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. The conveyors eject a small amount of compressed air to produce a vacuum on one end with high output flows on the other. Response is instantaneous. Regulating the compressed air pressure provides control of the rate of conveyance. Applications include scrap trim removal, material conveying, part transfer, fiber tensioning, filling operations and sampling.
The vacuums’ small sizes make them ideal for fitting in the cramped spaces and tight confines of many production lines. They are designed to attach to plumbing pipe couplers, making it easy to build a complete system using ordinary pipe and fittings. These new sizes ease the moving of small parts, small quantities of material or gases, and transporting scrap or product out of small spaces.
