EXAIR Heavy Duty Line Vacs™ for Conveying Tough Medium

As an Application Engineer, I get the pleasure of speaking to many companies about trying to find a simple, long-lasting, powerful, but quiet type of transfer system.  They have operators that climb steps to dump bags of material into hoppers above.  Or they need a compact way to remove scrap from their process.  Or, they have budgetary constraints to convey material from point A to point B.  If your company has to tackle any of these issues, EXAIR can help.  The Line Vacs attach easily to standard hoses, pipes, or sanitary flanges.   These inexpensive conveyors are designed to make the process of material conveyance safer and ergonomically better for your personnel.

The Line Vacs use compressed air to generate a vacuum by the Venturi effect.  This unique design generates a high velocity airflow to create a powerful vacuum on on the suction side.  Once the material reaches the throat area of the Line Vac, the compressed air will carry the product the rest of the way to the discharge.  We can reach horizontal distances up to 100 feet (30 meters) and vertical heights up to 20 feet (6 meters) which makes them great for “bucket and ladder” applications.  EXAIR manufactures a variety of Line Vacs in different sizes, styles, and materials.  In this blog, I will cover our most powerful and abrasion-resistant type, the Heavy Duty Line Vacs.

The Heavy Duty Line Vacs are engineered to move abrasive materials with an increased conveyance rate.  They range from ¾” inside diameter hose size up to 3” inside diameter for hose and pipe connections.  The construction is made from a hardened alloy steel to resist wear from abrasive bulk products like steel parts, sand, glass, ceramic, etc.  The Heavy Duty Line Vac can create a high vacuum level to pick up heavier objects as well as conveying a larger volume of material.  Wjen purchased as a kit, the Line Vac will come with a filter, regulator, and mounting bracket.  These additions provide enhanced, overall value to allow for easier mounting, controlling, and protecting the Line Vac within an application for years to come.  There are no moving parts and which make this a great product to use in rugged industrial applications.  You will not have to worry about any motors or bearings prematurely wearing out.

If you need to convey heavy materials like steel shot or abrasive products like ground glass using, the Heavy Duty Line Vac could be a blessing for you.  Not only can they transfer material safely and quickly, but they will also ergonomically help save the backs and knees of your personnel.  For our U.S. and Canadian customers, we are running a promotional ad.  You will receive a 2” Flat Super Air Nozzle, an $88.00 value, for free from now until the end of October 2021 with a qualified purchase online.  If you would like to discuss your conveying application further, please contact an Application Engineer at EXAIR.  We may have a solution for you.
