EXAIR’s Threaded Line Vac Turns Pipe Into a Conveyor

Melissa Larson | May 5, 2015

EXAIR’s new aluminum 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 perfect for fitting in the cramped spaces and tight confines of many production lines. The threaded line vac is designed to attach to plumbing pipe couplers, making it easy to build a complete system using ordinary pipe and fittings available from any home center, hardware store or plumbers supply.

These new sizes of air operated conveyors make it easy to move small parts, a small quantity of material or gases and transport scrap or product out of small spaces. 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 infinite control of the conveying rate. Applications include scrap trim removal, material conveying, part transfer, fiber tensioning, filling operations and sampling.
