Air Operated Conveyors (Line Vacs) – Convey Parts, Materials, Waste – With No Moving Parts!
The EXAIR Line Vac is a compact compressed air conveyor designed for efficient pneumatic conveying of bulk materials in industrial production environments. It connects easily to standard hose, pipe, or tubing to create a powerful in-line conveying system. Using compressed air, the Line Vac generates a high-velocity airflow that moves materials through the conveying line. Its compact design with a large throat diameter allows high throughput while maintaining a simple and robust construction.
Line Vac conveyors are commonly used in industrial manufacturing processes to transport pellets, powders, trim scrap, chips, fibers, and small components. Typical applications include hopper loading, waste extraction, and transferring materials between different stages of production.
How Does a Line Vac Work?
A Line Vac operates by using compressed air to generate a powerful airflow inside the conveying line. Compressed air enters the unit and is directed through precisely engineered nozzles into the throat of the conveyor. As the air exits at high velocity, it creates a low-pressure area that draws in surrounding air and material. This airflow pulls the material into the conveying line and transports it through the hose or pipe to the discharge point.
Because the system has no moving parts, Line Vac conveyors require minimal maintenance and provide reliable operation even in demanding industrial environments.
