Sanitary Flange Line Vacs Ease Installation and Cleaning for Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Food Systems

EXAIR’s Sanitary Flange Line Vac™ is the best way to convey material through systems which require frequent or mandatory cleaning. The ISO 2852 compatible sanitary flanges limit areas where bacteria can grow and help prevent contamination. Made from type 316 stainless steel to provide maximum hygiene and corrosion resistance, these Line Vacs are available in 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2" and 3" flange sizes. Flanged Line Vacs convert flanged piping systems into a powerful conveyor for product, parts, scrap, trim and other bulk materials. Their larger throat size makes them perfect for conveying bigger parts and large volumes of material over long distances.

Sanitary Flange Line Vac Conveyors eject a small amount of compressed air to produce a vacuum on one end with high output flows on the other. Response is instantaneous and regulating the compressed air pressure provides infinite control of the conveying rate. Applications include material conveying, part transfer and filling operations. 

All EXAIR Line Vacs are CE compliant, meet OSHA pressure requirements, and are ready to ship from stock. Additional families of Line Vac are available to fit hose, tube or threaded pipe. Many smaller sizes are available down to 3/8" hose or 3/8 NPT threads and large hose or pipe sizes up to 6". Many materials are available including aluminum, type 303 and type 316 stainless steel.

Exhaust of Welding Fumes by using EXAIR 2″ Super Air Amplifier

While most applications utilize the outlet flow of the Super Air Amplifier to blow off or cool a part or material, the ability of the Super Air Amplifier to entrain large amounts of ambient air can also be utilized to convey light materials or to draw in dust, smoke, or fumes from the surrounding environment.

Recently a customer had an application to install the Model 120022 Super Air Amplifier in welding booths. They did have a current fume extraction system in place, but due to the distance between the vent hoods and the operation some of the fumes were still not being captured. The suggestion was to install a 2” Model 120022 at each booth near the origin of the welding fumes. As the exhaust side of the Super Air Amplifiers come in sizes of ¾”, 1-1/4”, 2”, 4”, and 8” the exhaust flow can be ducted with standard size hose. The placed a 2” ID hose onto the exhaust of the Super Air Amplifier which allowed the fumes to be captured into the intake of the amplifier and be carried towards the vent hood.

https://www.vivekengineers.net/exair-products/air-amplifiers.html

This eliminated a safety issue for the operators and was much less expensive than redesigning the entire welding booths and current extraction system. With no moving parts to wear out, the Super Air Amplifier requires absolutely zero maintenance when supplied with clean, dry compressed air. After installing onto each of their welding booths, operators were pleased with the performance and we were able to eliminate the safety hazard for this facility.

With a range of different sized Super Air Amplifiers as well as a line of Adjustable Air Amplifiers, EXAIR has a solution for you if you need to move A LOT of air for a variety of reasons.

DESCHNER-USA provides various types of Industrial shock absorbers

Deschner Corporation was founded in 1959 by Richard Deschner. An inventor by nature and an engineer by training Mr. Deschner developed the original Slimline Kinechek speed regulators and Cushioneer shock absorbers. Both Kinecheks and Cushioneers use a unique seal design he invented which makes the units absolutely leak proof. They also use the unique adjustment mechanism he developed which allows them to fit a much wider variety of applications and loads when compared to competitor’s products.
Cushioneer shock absorbers smoothly decelerate moving equipment and material to a stop while minimizing G forces to prevent damage and allow faster cycling, processing time, or handling speed. Kinechek speed regulators move at a constant speed throughout their stroke to allow consistent control of linear motion, such as that provided by an air cylinder.

The simple, streamlined and uncomplicated appearance of the Cushioneer shock absorbers and Kinechek, MiniK, and SuperK speed regulators hide from view the extraordinary development, design effort, and care in manufacturing inside every Deschner product. In fact nine patents have been awarded to Deschner products because of their innovative design.
Today Deschner continues to manufacture Cushioneers and Kinecheks at its modern manufacturing facility in Southern California. These products are built to last and will run, trouble free for millions of cycles. Many units have lasted more than twenty years and/or tens of millions of cycles in constant use by customers. In March, 2014 Deschner shipped its one millionth unit and today thousands of Deschner products are in use all over the world including with many of the largest brand name manufacturers of industrial equipment who require the highest performance products possible.
Recently Deschner released an exciting new product, the Impacta shock absorber. This new, self adjusting, shock absorber is designed with an industry standard fully threaded body for easy installation and replacement of other manufacturer’s shock absorbers. The Impacta self adjusting shock absorber has demonstrated the ability to handle a much wider range of loads than competitor’s units and is available in metric thread sizes M14, M20, M25, and M27.

Comparison: EXAIR Cabinet Coolers vs. Air to Air Heat Exchangers

At EXAIR Cabinet Cooler System is for  industrial enclosure cooling solutions and in many cases those cooling solutions have remained in place for decades. In the time, in the market with industrial enclosure cooling solutions we’ve encountered a number of alternative means for enclosure cooling.  One of those methods is an air-to-air heat exchanger.

An air-to-air heat exchanger uses the temperature differential between the ambient air surrounding an enclosure and the hot air inside an enclosure to create a cooling effect.  A closed loop system exchanges the heat inside the enclosure with the outside air in an effort to maintain a set internal temperature.  The heat exchange of most air-to-air unit relies on a heat pipe, a heat-transfer device which converts an internal refrigerant liquid into vapor by placing one end of the pipe in contact with the hot environment.  The heated vapor travels to the other end of the pipe which is in contact with a cooler environment.  The vapor condenses back into a liquid (releasing latent heat) and returning to the hot end of the pipe and the cycle repeats.


But, this type of a solution does give some cause for concern, especially when considering their use in an industrial environment.  Here are the key points to keep in mind when comparing an air-to-air cooler to an EXAIR Cabinet Cooler.

Required temperature differential based on ambient air temp

An air-to-air heat exchange relies on the ΔT between the ambient air temperature and the internal enclosure air temperature to produce cooling.  If this ΔT is low, or the ambient temperature rises, cooling is diminished.  This means that as the temperatures in your facility begin to rise, air-to-air heat exchangers become less and less effective.  Larger air-to-air heat exchangers can be used, but these may be even larger than the enclosure itself.

EXAIR Cabinet Coolers rely on the ΔT between the cold air temperature from the Cabinet Cooler (normally ~20°F) and the desired internal enclosure temperature (normally 95°F).  The cold air temperature from the Cabinet Cooler is unaffected by increases in ambient temperatures.  The large ΔT and high volume cold air flow produced by a Cabinet Cooler results in more cooling capacity.  And, we can increase cooling capacity from a Cabinet Cooler without increasing its physical footprint, which is already much, much smaller than an air-to-air type of unit.
Cooling in high temperature environments

Due to their nature of operation, an air-to-air heat exchanger must have an ambient temperature which is lower than the desired internal temperature of the enclosure.  If the ambient air has a higher temperature, air-to-air units provide zero cooling.

Cabinet Coolers, on the other hand, can be used in hot, high temperature environments up to 200°F (93°C).

Cooling in dirty environments

Dirt in the ambient environment will impact cooling performance with an air-to-air heat exchanger.  In order for the air-to-air unit to effectively remove heat, the heat pipe must have access to ambient air.  With any exposure to the ambient environment comes the possibility for the ambient end of the heat pipe to become covered in ambient contaminants such as dust.  This dust will create an insulation barrier between the heat pipe and the ambient air, decreasing the ability for the heat pipe to condense the vapors within.  Because of this, most air-to-air devices use filters to separate the heat pipe from the ambient environment.  But, when these filters become clogged, access to ambient temperatures are reduced, and cooling capacity of the air-to-air unit reduces as well.

Size and time required to install

Air-to-air heat exchangers vary in size, but even the smallest units can have large dimensions.  Many applications have limited space on the enclosure, and a large, bulky solution can be prohibitive.  Couple this with the time and modification required to the enclosure to install a large air-to-air unit, and the “solution” may end up bringing additional problems.

Another key aspect of the Cabinet Cooler is its size.  Small, compact, and easy to mount on the top or side of an enclosure, Cabinet Coolers install in minutes to remove overheating problems.

Pulls chips and dusts into the Chip Vac

A company manufactures sintered metal parts using powdered metal. After the powdered metal is sintered and cooled the manufacturer performs a reaming application. this produces a small amount of chips and dust which has been a housekeeping issue. They were manually cleaning the mess and needed to eliminate the cleaning process. The customer ordered the Model 6193 Chip Vac to pull the small chips and dusts into the chip vac which can be emptied easily. This saves time and eliminates housekeeping issues.

Choosing the Right Vortex Tube – Max Refrigeration vs. Max Cold Temperature

The Vortex Tube is a low cost, reliable, maintenance free way to provide cooling to a wide variety of industrial spot cooling problems. There are two (2) popular uses for the Vortex Tubes. One is to spot cool a warm item as fast as possible. The other is to chill an item to as low a temperature as possible. Because these are very different requirements, different Vortex Tube configurations exist to handle each. For those applications of spot cooling, we recommend the 3200 series of Vortex Tubes. They are designed to be most efficient at providing maximum refrigeration, which is a function of high cold air flow rate and moderate temperature differential of the cold air to the warm item. And for those applications of chilling an item to a very low temperature at low flow rate , we recommend the 3400 series of Vortex Tubes. They are designed to be most efficient at providing maximum cold air temperatures, but with a lower cold air flow rate. An important parameter for the Vortex Tubes is the Cold Fraction. By adjusting the hot valve on a vortex tube, the amount of air that is discharged through the cold end changes. When expressed as a percentage of the total compressed air that is supplied to the vortex tube, we get the Cold Fraction. For example, if the hot valve is adjusted so that for every 10 parts of compressed air supplied, we get 7 parts of cold air, then we have a 70% Cold Fraction. When you know the Cold fraction setting and the compressed air supply pressure, you can use the Vortex Tube Performance tables and get the cold air discharge temperature. Using the table below left, at 100 PSIG compressed air pressure and a 70% Cold Fraction, we can expect the cold air discharge temperature drop to be 71°F. With 70 ° compressed air temperature, the cold air will be at -1°F.

The 3200 series of Vortex Tubes are for use in the 50-80% Cold Fraction range, and the model 3400 series is designed for use in the 20-50% Cold Fraction ranges, to maximize the performance of each. In summary, the selection of the Vortex Tube that best meets the application needs is based on the desired cold air flow rate, and the temperature of air desired. Once these are known, using the tables can provide the information needed to select the best option. For those applications where we are unsure what will work best, we offer the EXAIR Cooling Kits, that include a Vortex Tube (small, medium, or large) and an array of Generators, to allow the configuration of the full range of Vortex Tubes within each size family. Model 3908 – Small Vortex Tube Cooling Kit – build models 3202, 3204, 3208, and 3402, 3404, 3408 Model 3930 – Medium Vortex Tube Cooling Kit – build models 3210, 3215, 3225, 3230, 3240, and 3410, 3415, 3425, 3430, 3440 Model 3998 – Large Vortex Tube Cooling Kit – build models 3250, 3275, 3298, 3299, and models 3450, 3475, 3498, 3499

Removing machine dust by Exair 120022 2" Aluminium Super Air Amplifier

Company manufactures welded tubing. Shavings are building up at the cutoff operation causing missed locations and tubes cut off to wrong length. Using the Model 1100 Super Air Nozzle to direct the shavings towards the  Model 120022 2"(51mm) Super Air Amplifier, the cut off area was vacuumed clear so the next part could be located properly. This eliminated short pieces.

Super Air Amplifier Performance at 80 PSIG (5.5 BAR)

Siphon Fed Atomizing Nozzles Selection

When we recommend an Atomizing Nozzle for a particular application, we try to obtain as much general information as possible about the application, such as:

What type of spray pattern do you need?
How wide of an area needs to be covered?
What kind of flow rate needs to be achieved?
Is the liquid source pressurized?
What is the viscosity of the liquid?
While all of this information is going to help simplify the selection process, when we get a reply that the liquid isn’t pressurized, the choice becomes a little less complicated.

Exair Siphon Fed Atomizing Nozzles are the preferred solution in applications where a pressurized liquid source isn’t available. With a steady supply of compressed air, these nozzles are able to draw the liquid into the nozzle with suction heights up to 36″ for our 1/8″ NPT and 1/4″ NPT nozzles, and up to 24″ for our larger 1/2″ NPT Models. They can also be gravity fed as well.

These nozzles mix the fluid internally and are capable of handling viscosity up to 200 centipoise. Depending on the size of the nozzle and supply air pressure, flow rates can range from 0.4 GPH up to 60 GPH with either a round or flat fan spray pattern. There is also an adjusting valve for more or less liquid flow as needed to fit the demand of the application.

Exair also offers these nozzles with the patented No Drip feature which positively stops the liquid flow when the supply air pressure drops below 30 PSIG, eliminating the need for any additional valves or supply lines.

If you have an application requiring a fine mist of atomized liquid, please contact us in below contact details.
