Venturi Pumps:

Low Vacuum Flow Range
 
The Mini Series offers one high vacuum venturi in several compact, lightweight configurations ideal for small part pick and place applications and fast evacuation of small vessels. They require little installation space and can be positioned close to the vacuum point for fast response.

Features

• Compact
• Lightweight
• Powerful - 28-Hg vacuum

• Pick and Place

For maximum application versatility, the Mid Series utilizes modular components to allow the designer to specify only those features necessary for their specific application. Flexibility is further increased through the use of interchangeable cartridge venturies. Anyone of the eight cartridges can be used with the three standard body styles. Select the venturi that best fits your application based on the four performance characteristics: vacuum level, vacuum flow, evacuation speed, and air consumption. To simplify selection, venture performance has been separated into two categories, -M- for medium and -H- for high vacuum applications.

Venturi Vacuum Pump with Air Saver Circuit
air usage in vacuum clamping and vessel evacuation applications. For pick and place applications handling non porous materials, the Air Saver Circuit will maintain a safe holding force, save compressed air and hold the part even if the compressed air supply is interrupted providing an extra level of safety when handling large loads.

This complete system requires only a compressed air source to be fully functional. The system includes a venturi vacuum pump, vacuum check valve, air piloted air valve and pneumatic vacuum switch. The pneumatic vacuum switch is the brain of the system that constantly monitors the vacuum level.

• The vacuum switch is adjustable from 0 to 30Hg and is set using the adjustment knob.
• The hysteresis is 3Hg. Simply set the switch to the desired vacuum level and should there be a leak in the system and the vacuum level drops by 3Hg, the Air Saver Circuit automatically re-energizes the venturi to bring the system back to the preset vacuum level and then de-energizes the venturi. The vacuum check valve seals the system.
• The Air Saver Technology has been adapted to the entire range of venturi vacuum pumps. These are ideal for creating and maintaining vacuum for safe, energy efficient operations for clamping, pick and place and vessel evacuation applications.
• The air saver circuit can also be purchaced separately and fit to any of the max series venturi vacuum pumps.

• Energy Efficient
• Safe
• Compact
  
• Dependable
• Lightweight

• Clamping and Vacuum Chucking
• Vessel Evacuation
• Pick and Place of Heavy Loads
• Hold Vacuum While Molds Cool
• Lifting Systems

High Flow Vacuum Pumps for Material Transfer;
a reliable and effective method of in-line transfer of complex shapes and bulk materials such as: small parts up to 3 inches in diameter, continuous strips, and powders. Vacuum flow rates can be infinitely controlled over the pumps entire range by regulating the input pressure. The pumps unique capability to create instantaneous vacuum flow and high air velocity combined with its straight through, smooth bore design allows materials to pass directly through the unit at high speeds without interference or clogging.

Variable Flow Vacuum Pumps
The VDF Series of adjustable air powered vacuum pumps provides a combination of high vacuum flow rates of up to 120SCFM, and vacuum levels of up to 25Hg. Because of its straight-through design, the VDF Series is ideal for handling porous materials and operation in contaminated situations. VDF pumps can be used to pick and place concrete block, or packaging materials that are coated with fine powder, and are commonly used in industrial air driven vacuum cleaners to remove liquid or solid mixtures from sump areas. VDF pumps are field adjustable and eliminate the need for additional regulation of air lines to remotely vary the levels of vacuum or flow that is required.
