Air Conveyors - Ring-Vac™ compressed air conveying system

 

 

Product Overview

  • Available in standard and threaded versions for regular and high temperature applications.

    Air Conveyors - Ring-Vac™ Pneumatic Conveying System has virtually no moving parts, conveys material at high rates and over long distances. It utilizes compressed air for a powerful, efficient venturi action along its length in a compact design for high capacity conveying over large distances.

    Air Conveyors - Ring-Vac™ Pneumatic Conveying System is available in both coated aluminum or high temperature stainless steel. Simply clamp a standard hose size to each end of the Ring-Vac™ to create this high energy conveying system. No moving parts for maintenance free operation with capacity and flow controlled with a pressure regulator.

    Air Conveyors - Ring-Vac™ Pneumatic Conveying System is available in 3/4"(19mm) 1" (25mm), 1-1/4" (32mm), 1-1/2" (38mm), 2" (51mm) and 3” (76mm). Any size beyond that can be prohibitive for most applications due to high compressed air requirements.

    Beyond 3", the vacuum ability begins to drop significantly except for highly intermittent applications. For applications beyond 3", a blower system often becomes far more economical except in a rare number of possible applications. However, larger size versions are available if required as well as special sizes.

    The anodized aluminum and high temperature stainless steel Ring-Vac™ Air Conveyor can convey all types of solids in large volumes over great distances with no moving parts. Stainless steel Ring-Vac’s™ are available in 303/304 stainless and in 316L stainless steel for highly corrosive and for food and pharmaceutical applications.

    Air Conveyors - Ring-Vac™ Pneumatic Conveying System Features:
    • Made of a anodized aluminum body with no moving parts. High temperature stainless steel models are available for high temperature and corrosive applications.
    • Standard sizes to fit standard hose diameter for easy clamping. Threaded versions connect easily to regular pipe thread: 3/4" (19mm) 1" (25.4mm), 1-1/4" (32mm), 1-1/2" (38mm), 2" (51mm), 2-1/2” (63.5mm) and 3” (76.2mm). Special sizes can be manufactured if required.
    • Utilizing a pressure regulator will control the flow material.
    • Instant ON/OFF with no moving parts, no electricity or explosion hazard.

  • Air Conveyors - Ring-Vac™ Pneumatic Conveying System Benefits:
    • Longer life in difficult environments than competitive models.
    • Ease of use.
    • Simple and easy control of material flow.
    • Maintenance free operation.

  • Pneumatic Conveyor:
  • The air operated conveyor or pneumatic conveyor is compact and maintenance free.

  • Vacuum Conveyors:
  • Vacuum Conveyors like the Ring Vac are compact, easy to use, portable and ideal especially for intermittent use in material transfer.

  • Air / Pneumatic Conveyor Manufacturers:
  • Air Conveyor Manufacturers and Air Conveyor Suppliers address the movement of materials.

  • Air / Pneumatic Slide Conveyor:
  • Nex Flow™ air operated conveyors can sometimes be used as air slide conveyors

  • Pneumatic Conveyor and Pneumatic Conveyor System and venturi vacuum system and pneumatic conveyor tubing:
  • The Nex Flow™™ Ring Vac™ is a pneumatic conveyor and a venturi vacuum system. Adding pneumatic conveyor tubing makes it a complete pneumatic conveyor system.

  • Pneumatic conveyor manufacturers, pneumatic conveyor suppliers and pneumatic conveyor products and vacuum conveyors and pneumatic conveying systems and pneumatic conveyor belt:
  • Pneumatic conveyor manufacturers, pneumatic conveyor suppliers and general sources of pneumatic conveyor products use either blower stems or compressed air systems. Nex Flow™™ Ring Vacs™ are ideal, especially for intermittent use because they are low cost, compact, and maintenance free. These vacuum conveyors provide a simple, low cost solution compared to other pneumatic conveying systems. In many cases it can be uses as a pneumatic conveyor belt, replacing conveyor belts which require regular maintenance and can be costly to maintain.

  • How to Clean a Drilling Operation On A Sand Casting :
  • The maintenance free Ring Vac creates a strong suction to remove dust and sand from drilling operations, punch presses, and other applications. Using a Ring Vac is one way in How to Clean a Drilling Operation On a Sand Casting.

  • Compressed Air Vacuum and Vacuum Pressure Regulator :
  • Compressed air vacuum can be produced with Nex Flow™™ Ring Vacs to move materials from one location to another. Simply controlling the air pressure into the Ring Vac can be used as a vacuum pressure regulator.

     

How They Work

 

Ring-Vac™ compressed air conveying system - Compressed air enters at point (A) into a annular plenum chamber and injected into the throat of the unit though directed nozzles. These jets of compressed air create a vacuum at the inlet (C) which draws in material and accelerates it through the unit and out at (D) conveying the material over a great vertical or horizontal distance.

 

 

Specifications

Air Conveyors - Ring-Vac™ Pneumatic Conveying Systems are available in coated aluminum, stainless steel and in high temperature stainless steel for high temperature applications.

Note: All our stainless steel high temperature Ring-Vac™ units are rated to 120°F (649°F)

Special materials can be utilized for unique applications. If greater conveying force is required the conveying “generator” can be machined for higher capacities.
