Today I worked with a customer that manufactures a wide
variety of material handling equipment including coil unwinders. The
engineer was calling because there was a special project for a coil
unwinder that could handle a waste piece of paper trim. As the metal
coil is being unwound for delivery to a metal processing machine, the
protective paper is pulled off and was to be collected into a waste
receptacle for easy handling and disposal/recycling. The engineer was
hoping to replicate an existing system that used a hybrid blower system,
with an extra compressed air nozzle, but in a simpler form.
We proposed the use of the 4" Light Duty Line Vac-
shown below.The Light Duty Line Vacs
offer an effective way to convey small and light materials a short
distance. Like the standard Line Vac, the Light Duty Line Vac converts an
ordinary hose or tube into a conveyor for scrap, trim, and bulk
materials.
When the process involves moving low volumes of materials
over short distances, the Light Duty Line Vac is a great choice. The
simplified (2) piece design offers effective conveying at a lower cost. As
an added plus, the compressed air consumption is lowered to levels
commensurate with handling the lighter materials, at lower volumes and
short distances. Using a pressure regulator to control the supply air
allows for tuning of the transfer rate, and keeps air usage to the minimum
amount needed.
The Light Duty Line Vacs
are available with inlet/outlet diameters from 3/4" up to
6". With no moving parts, maintenance free operation is assured.
For other larger materials, higher transfer rates, corrosive
environments, or abrasive materials, take a look at the other EXAIR Line
Vac offerings including the aluminum, 303 and 316 stainless standard Line Vacs,
the aluminum, 303 and 316 stainless steel Threaded Line Vacs,
high temperature models, standard and threaded Heavy Duty Line Vacs,
and lastly the new Sanitary Flanged
316 stainless steel type.
