E-Vac® In-Line – Vacuum Generators
The In-Line E-Vac (porous version) is used to lift the plywood lid of a crate in a receiving department.
What Is The In-Line E-Vac Vacuum Generator?
These single stage, cylindrical units are compact and easy to mount at the point of use. They can be held in place by threading them directly onto a compressed air line or with the use of a mounting clip. There are 7 models available for use with porous materials, like cardboard, with vacuum levels up to 21 inHg (71 kPa) and vacuum flows up to 18,5 SCFM (524 SLPM). There are 7 models available for use with non-porous materials such as glass, with vacuum levels up to 27 inHg (91 kPa) with vacuum flows up to 15.8 SCFM (447 SLPM).
How The In-Line E-Vac Works
Compressed air flows through the inlet (1), then through a single directed nozzle (2). As the airstream exhausts, it expands and increases in velocity prior to passing through the venturi (3). A vacuum inlet tangential to the primary airflow (4) is located at the suction point between the orifice and the venturi. The airflow that is drawn through the vacuum inlet mixes with the primary airstream, then exhausts on the opposite end (5).
