The low cost Model 130200 2″ (51mm) Light Duty Line Vac conveys fibres to fill pillows, stuffed animals, diapers, etc.
What Is The Light Duty Line Vac?
EXAIR’s Light Duty Line Vac is the ideal way to convey small volumes of materials over short distances. Like the Line Vac, the Light Duty Line Vac converts an ordinary hose or tube into a conveyor for scrap, trim and bulk materials.
When lower throughputs at short distances are desired, the Light Duty Line Vac is a good choice. This simplified design utilises a two-part threaded construction to provide effective conveying at a lower cost. Air consumption is reduced to a volume appropriate for moving small volumes of material at short distances. Conveying rates are easy to control by regulating the compressed air supply pressure.
The Light Duty Line Vac features inlet and outlet diameters common to hose and tube sizes. Eight sizes for diameters from 3/4″ to 6″ (19mm to 152mm) are available. Standard construction is aluminium. No moving parts or electricity assures maintenance free operation.
If higher conveying rates or mounting brackets are desired and for corrosion resistant stainless steel models that are suitable for high temperature and food service, please see our Line Vac models.
How The Light Duty 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 vertical or horizontal distances.
Warning : Do not use EXAIR Line Vacs with any material that can become an explosive mixture.
