What
is the Chip Vac?
EXAIR's
new Chip Vac picks up dry or wet chips and delivers them directly
to an ordinary 55 gallon (40 imperial gallon) drum. Chip Vac is
used to clean chips from fixtures, floors and work surfaces of machining
centers, lathes, saws, mills and other industrial equipment. Now,
with a 30% increase in vacuum, it is our most powerful Chip Vac
ever! |

Why
The Chip Vac?
The
compressed air operated Chip Vac is an industrial duty vacuum
designed specifically for vacuuming chips. It creates a
powerful cyclonic action that vacuums metal, wood or plastic
chips into a 55 gallon drum. Dusty materials such as absorbents
are trapped by the 0.1 micron filter bag to keep the surrounding
air clean.
Electrically
operated "all purpose" vacuums aren't designed
for use in industrial environments. As a result, motors
wear out quickly and impellers clog. Chip Vac has no moving
parts to wear out or break which ensures long life. Sound
level is half that of electric vacuums.
Chip
Vac's lever lock drum lid fits an ordinary open top 55 gallon
drum. In less than a minute, the Chip Vac can be removed
and easily placed onto another drum to keep different materials
separate for recycling. Constant heavy lifting and dumping
of vacuum cleaner tanks is eliminated since all chips are
vacuumed directly to the 55 gallon drum.

How
the Chip Vac Works
|
|
| Compressed
air, normally 80-100 PSlG (5.5 - 6.9 BAR), 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). An elbow at the exhaust (6) directs the
air in a cyclonic motion against the inside wall of
the drum. Chips and other particulate drop to the bottom
of the drum. The airflow exhausts through the port in
the drum lid (7). Airborne particulates are trapped
by the 0.1 micron filter bag. |

The Chip Vac System can be used with an open head steel,
fiber or plastic drum that is in good condition (ANSI
Standard #MH2-1997). To prevent material contamination,
a poly drum liner can be inserted into the drum. |
