EXAIR Threaded Line Vac to turn pipe into a conveyor

EXAIR’s aluminium 3/8″ NPT and 1/2″ NPT Threaded Line Vac air-operated conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a powerful conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. Their small size makes them suitable for fitting in the cramped spaces and tight confines of many production lines. The systems are designed to attach to plumbing pipe couplers, making it possible to build a complete system using ordinary pipe and fittings. The small conveyors are suitable to move small parts and a small quantity of material or gases, and transport scrap or product out of small spaces.

The conveyors eject a small amount of compressed air to produce a vacuum on one end with high output flows on the other. Response is instantaneous. Regulating the compressed air pressure provides control of the conveying rate. Applications include scrap trim removal, material conveying, part transfer, fibre tensioning, filling operations and sampling.

Larger sizes up to 2″ NPT in aluminium and stainless steel, and smooth-end models for hoses up to 5″ are available.
