Nex Flow™ Ring Vac™ air operated conveyors come in a variety of sizes,materials, and configurations. Anodized aluminum versions from ½” to 3” standard size (and larger for special applications on request) are used to convey all sorts of materials over large distances, both vertical and horizontal. 304 stainless and 316L stainless versions are used for food grade and pharmaceutical applications and for use in high temperature and corrosive environments. As these units do use a significant amount of compressed air, they are best applied where the air is available and in particular, intermittent use applications. Some applications only require low pressure to operate, minimizing air use. The Ring Vac™ consists of a body, a generator (which creates the venturi effect), and a cap. The unit can be dismantled and easily cleaned if necessary. Common applications include hopper loading (resin in the plastic industry, bottle caps in bottling), material conveying of all sorts, waste and trim removal, transferring parts from one location to another, chip removal, tensioning fiber, and in filling operations. The regular Nex Flow™ Ring Vac™ air operated conveyors can be clamped to standard pipe and hose. Threaded versions can be threaded onto regular threaded pipe sizes. 316L stainless Nex Flow™ Ring Vac™ units with sanitary flanges are available for sanitary systems. The actual rate material is conveyed is governed by the size, the mass, and the shape of the part to be moved along with the height, length, and number of bends in the system
