OverviewThe Adjustable E-Vac® is a compressed‑air powered vacuum generator series from EXAIR. Vacuum level and flow are user‑adjustable to match application requirements. Units are compact, maintenance‑free (no moving parts) and suited for a wide range of industrial pick‑and‑place, clamping, lifting, packaging and surface‑handling tasks. The Straight‑Through Muffler version is recommended for particulate environments and provides superior sound reduction (up to 26 dBA).
Applications- Pick-and-place of parts and assemblies
- Bag and package opening
- Label placement and handling
- Vacuum forming and mold evacuation
- Vacuum filling and leak testing
- Container evacuation and vacuum packaging
- Clamping, chucking and robotic end‑of‑arm tooling
- Paper alignment and feed systems
- Vacuum presses for veneers and laminates
Advantages- Adjustable vacuum level via exhaust rotation with lock ring
- Optimized air consumption relative to required vacuum
- No moving parts — maintenance free
- Straight‑Through muffler passes particulates without clogging
- Quiet operation (Straight‑Through muffler up to 26 dBA)
- Instant response and stable single‑stage vacuum
- Lightweight 6061 aluminum construction
- Easy mounting at point of use; portable
Models / Configurations (summary)Adjustable E‑Vac Only: 840008 — 8.2 SCFM (232 SLPM); 840015 — 15.4 SCFM (436 SLPM); 840030 — 26.4 SCFM (748 SLPM); 840060 — 62.7 SCFM (1,775 SLPM).
With Straight‑Through Muffler: 840008M, 840015M, 840030M, 840060M.
Kits (various): basic kits (841xxx), kits with muffler (841xxM), deluxe kits with filter & regulator (842xxx / 842xxxM).
Key Performance Notes- Factory set to 15 in Hg (≈51 kPa); maximum ≈25 in Hg (≈85 kPa) on non‑porous surfaces (higher vacuum increases air consumption).
- Vacuum and flow adjusted by loosening lock ring and rotating exhaust; retighten to secure.
- Model selection provides different air consumption / flow capabilities (see models above).
Accessories and System ComponentsEXAIR offers Standard and Straight‑Through mufflers, fittings, push‑in connectors, polyurethane tubing (1/4" and 3/8"; lengths to 50'), check valves, vacuum gauges (0–30 in Hg), mounting clip, and optional filter/regulator. Recommendations include:
- Standard Muffler: closed end, for dust‑free environments
- Straight‑Through Muffler: resists debris buildup and gives best noise reduction
- Vacuum tubing: multiple sizes and lengths for system layout
- Check valves and swivel/bulkhead fittings to secure vacuum and simplify assembly
- Automatic drain separators and oil removal filters for compressed air supply
Gallery / Kit NotesDeluxe kits include vacuum pump, cups, fittings, tubing, mounting clip, filter and regulator with coupler. The family is aluminum construction and available in four sizes.
