EXAIR’s Threaded Line Vac Air Operated Conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a powerful conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. The Threaded Line Vac attaches easily to plumbing pipe couplers, making it easy to build a complete system using ordinary pipe and fittings available from any home centre, hardware store or plumbers supply. Performance is the same as our standard Line Vac.
Threaded Line Vac Conveyors are ideal for conveying large volumes of material over long distances. They 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 infinite control of the conveying rate. Models from 3/8″ to 3″ are available in aluminium and stainless steel, which are suited to a wide variety of conveying applications. An optional mounting bracket permits easy mounting. No moving parts or electricity assures maintenance free operation.
How Threaded Line Vac Works
Compressed air flows through the inlet (1) into an annular plenum chamber (2). It is then injected into the throat through directed nozzles (3). These jets of air create a vacuum at the intake (4) which draws material in and accelerates it through the unit (5) for conveying over long vertical or horizontal distances.
Warning : Do not use EXAIR Line Vacs with any material that can become an explosive mixture.
