Conveyors for bulk materials

The Exair Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac Conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a conveying system for bulk materials including steel shot, metal parts, scrap and trim. Applications include transferring bulk materials and parts, hopper loading, waste/trim removal, fibre tensioning, chip removal and filling operations.

Designed for rugged, industrial applications, the system features a hardened alloy construction that helps prevent premature wear and large throat diameters that make it possible to convey more material over long vertical and horizontal lengths.

The conveyors eject a small amount of compressed air through directed nozzles to produce a vacuum on one end with high output flows on the other. Response is instantaneous.

Conveying rate is controlled using a pressure regulator on the compressed air supply. The system is available in five sizes up to 51 mm to fit standard plumbing pipe and couplers, making it simple to build a complete conveying system.

Maintenance-free operation is assured because there are no moving parts or electrical circuits.
