Accessories

Accessories Needed To Build Your Vacuum System

EXAIR offers a variety of mufflers, tubing, check valves, and fittings that make it easy to build a vacuum system best suited to your vacuum application. In addition to these E-Vac vacuum generator accessories, there are other items that can help with the preparation and control of the compressed air.

When using E-Vac vacuum generators, it is important to use a source of clean, dry compressed air that will keep them operating at their peak performance. Automatic drain filter separators to keep the compressed air free of contaminants and moisture are recommended. Oil removal filters that remove oil particulate that is common to many compressed air systems are available. Pressure regulators, shutoff valves, compressed air hose, fittings, and solenoid valves (to electrically turn the compressed air on and off) are available as well.

Mufflers Optional silencing mufflers are available that permit maximum exhaust of the E-Vac unit so cycle speed is not reduced. The Standard Muffler (for use with In-Line E-Vacs only) has a closed end and is suitable for applications that are free of dust and debris. The Straight Through Muffler is recommended where particulate is present since it will not accumulate debris that can erode performance. Straight Through Mufflers offer the best sound level reduction (up to 26 dBA).

Fittings and Tubing

The vacuum port of the E-Vac has an NPT thread (a vacuum cup can be threaded directly into it). For vacuum cups that are remotely located, push-in connector fittings (most have global threads for use with NPT and BSP) can be installed on the E-Vac and the vacuum cup. Polyurethane vacuum tubing is available (10', 20', 30', 40' and 50' lengths) to connect them. For best performance, the length of the tubing should be minimized to achieve the best attach and release times.

Check Valve

A vacuum check valve is available to hold the vacuum in case of compressed air loss. It is designed for high flow so it doesn’t restrict airflow or slow the vacuum operation. Maximum vacuum can still be achieved without affecting the performance. E-Vac vacuum generators that are used without a check valve will release the load if there is a significant drop in compressed air pressure or the supply of compressed air is lost.

Adjustable E-Vac is available in 4 sizes that have adjustable vacuum rates up to 25" Hg (85 kPa) and flow rates up to 81 SCFM (2,294 SLPM). Kit configurations that include vacuum cups, fittings, tubing and a mounting clip are available

Adjustable E-Vac Vacuum Generators

Choose the E-Vac by the SCFM (SLPM) flow that best suits the performance needed for your application.Adjustable E-Vac Kits give you the ability to experiment with an assortment of Vacuum Cups. E-Vac Kits include a Muffler, an assortment of (4) pairs of Vacuum Cups (closely matched to the performance of that E-Vac), (2) straight, (2) elbow and (1) tee vacuum fittings, 10' of vacuum tubing and a mounting clip.

Deluxe Kits include the same items as the standard kit with the addition of an automatic drain filter separator for the compressed air supply and pressure regulator (with coupler).

Set The Vacuum And Flow To The Application Requirements

Adjustable E-Vac vacuum generators are ideal for applications where a variety of vacuum levels are required, which is often the case when lifting a variety of materials. The amount of vacuum flow is easy to adjust. Simply loosen the lock ring by turning it counterclockwise, then, turn the exhaust of the Adjustable E-Vac to increase or decrease the flow. Once the desired level of vacuum and flow are obtained, the lock ring can be tightened to hold that setting. Tuning the vacuum and flow to the application requirements will help to minimize compressed air use.

Choosing An E-Vac

In-Line E-Vac Vacuum Generator

This series of single stage, cylindrical vacuum generators are compact and easy to mount at the point of use. The In-Line E-Vac can be held in place by threading them directly onto a compressed air line or with use of a mounting clip. Each In-Line vacuum model has a specific level of vacuum and flow. This style can easily pass dust or small particulates. There are 7 models suitable for use when lifting porous materials (like cardboard). The “porous” models have vacuum levels up to 21"Hg (71kPa) with vacuum flows up to 18.5 SCFM (524 SLPM). There are 7 models for use with non-porous materials (like glass) that have vacuum levels up to 27" Hg (91 kPa) with vacuum flows up to 15.8 SCFM (447 SLPM).

Adjustable E-Vac Vacuum Generator

This series of Adjustable E-Vac single stage vacuum generators permit easy adjustment by simply loosening the locknut and turning the exhaust to increase or decrease the level of vacuum and vacuum flow. These are ideal for use with porous and non-porous materials where the load can vary. Vacuum flow is easily increased when the vacuum is being used on a porous surface. This style passes dust and larger size particulates so there is no loss in vacuum, making it the best choice when working with dirty, dusty materials (such as concrete mix, plaster, etc.) There are 4 models with adjustable vacuum up to 25"Hg (85kPa) and vacuum flow up to 81 SCFM (2,294 SLPM).
