Move high volumes and resist wear
March 2007
Pneumatics & Hydraulics
The new Heavy Duty Line Vac is EXAIR's most powerful conveyor. The appearance is similar to the standard Line Vac but performance has been boosted dramatically. The Heavy Duty Line Vac has been engineered to convey materials over longer vertical and horizontal distances. The hardened alloy construction helps prevent premature wear that could occur with ordinary aluminium or stainless steel Line Vacs.
Many applications require the materials to be transported over longer distances. The Heavy Duty Line Vac can also move material over longer lengths. It has been designed for rugged, industrial applications.
The Table gives a quick comparison of the Light Duty Line Vac, Standard Line Vac and the heavy-duty models. For comparison, the test shows the 51 mm model of each style conveying the same material over various lengths. The Heavy Duty Line Vac conveys more material in less time.
Applications
* Hopper loading.
* Fibre tensioning.
* Material conveying.
* Waste/trim removal.
* Chip removal.
* Part transfer.
* Filling operations.
Advantages
* Hardened alloy construction.
* Highest throughput capability.
* Compact.
* Quiet.
* No moving parts.
* Fits standard tube or hose.
