Light Duty Line Vac™ – An effective way to convey small volumes of material over short distances
What Is The Light Duty Line Vac?
Light Duty Line Vac is the effective way to convey small volumes of material over short distances. It converts ordinary hose or tube into a conveying system for scrap, trim and other lightweight materials.
Why The Light Duty Line Vac?
When lower throughputs at short distances are desired, the Light Duty Line Vac is a good choice. This simplified design utilizes a two-part threaded construction to provide effective conveying at a lower cost. Air consumption is reduced to a volume appropriate for moving small volumes of material at short distances. Conveying rates are easy to control by regulating the compressed air supply pressure.
The Light Duty Line Vac features inlet and outlet diameters common to hose and tube sizes. Eight sizes for diameters from 3/4″ to 6″ (19 to 152mm) are available. Standard construction is aluminum. (For corrosion resistant stainless steel models that are suitable for high temperature and food service, please contact us.) No moving parts or electricity assures maintenance free operation. (If higher conveying rates or mounting brackets are desired, see our original Line Vac models.)
On our overview page you will find different vacuum conveyor variants that can be used for pneumatic conveying.
The table below gives a quick comparison of our Light Duty Line Vac, standard Line Vac and the Heavy Duty Line Vac. For comparison, the test shows the 2″ (51mm) model of each style conveying the same material over various lengths.
