How
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) at long vertical or
horizontal distances.
| Selecting
the Right Model
|
|
Some of the criteria used to select
the proper model are: |
 |
Diameter
of parts being conveyed |
|
Diameter
of hose or tube |
|
Rate
(weight or volume) |
|
Stainless
steel or aluminum |
|
|
|
Stainless
steel models are ideal for food service, abrasive
or corrosive applications. Aluminum is the
economical choice for general purpose applications.

EXAIR
manufactures special Line Vacs suited
to specific application requirements.
The special flanged Line Vac (shown on
the right) is made of PVDF, a plastic
that has a high chemical resistance.
In this case, the 1-1/2" (38mm)
Line Vac was regularly exposed to a chloride
wash, a chemical that would corrode stainless
steel. QF flanges were provided
on each end to allow easy removal of the
conveying hoses for cleaning purposes.
