What Is The Heavy Duty Line Vac?
The Heavy Duty Line Vac is EXAIR’s most powerful conveyor. The appearance is similar to the standard Line Vac but performance has been boosted dramatically. The Heavy Duty Line Vac has been engineered to convey materials over longer vertical and horizontal distances. The hardened alloy construction helps prevent premature wear that could occur with ordinary aluminium or stainless steel Line Vacs.
Many applications require that materials be transported over longer distances. The Heavy Duty Line Vac can move more material over longer lengths. They have been designed for rugged, industrial applications.
The table below gives a quick comparison of our Light Duty Line Vac, standard Line Vac, and the Heavy Duty Line Vac models. For comparison, the test shows the 2″ (51mm) model of each style conveying the same material over various lengths. Heavy Duty Line Vac conveys more material in less time.

Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac
EXAIR’s Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac air operated conveyors convert ordinary pipe into a powerful conveying system for parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. The engineered Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac attaches easily to ordinary NPT pipe and fittings available from any home centre, hardware store or plumbers supply. With its hardened alloy construction, the Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac withstands premature wear that could occur with aluminium and stainless steel.
How The Heavy Duty Line Vac Works
Compressed air flows through the inlet (1) into an annular plenum chamber (2). It is then injected into the throat through directed nozzles (3). These jets of air create a vacuum at the intake (4) which draws material in and accelerates it through the unit (5) for conveying over long vertical or horizontal distances.
Warning : Do not use EXAIR Line Vacs with any material that can become an explosive mixture.
