Product catalog summary
Overview
Air-Vac specializes in air-operated vacuum generator technology, offering a range of vacuum pumps designed for various applications. The company emphasizes flexibility in design, allowing for customization to meet specific OEM requirements. Their products are known for high-tech design, precision manufacturing, and quality testing.

Product Designs
Air-Vac offers four basic pump designs: AV, TD, MF, and UV, each with unique advantages. These designs cater to different vacuum applications, including high vacuum levels, vacuum flow, and material transport.

Vacuum Force Generators
Models such as AV, AVR, RAV, MF, and UV are designed for applications requiring high vacuum levels, measured in inches of mercury ("Hg"). They are used in pick-and-place applications, leak testing, vacuum forming, and more.

Vacuum Flow Generators
TD and TDRH models focus on inducing atmospheric air flow with relatively low vacuum levels, measured in cubic feet per minute (scfm). These are ideal for transporting solid materials, removing machined chips, and air sampling.

Corrosion Resistant Models
HAVRSS, HAVSS, and TDSS models are made from stainless steel, suitable for abrasive materials and food processing due to their resistance to aggressive chemicals. They are also suitable for hazardous and high-temperature environments.

How It Works
Compressed air flows through a small opening, generating high velocity and decreased pressure to create vacuum levels up to 27.5”Hg. Various series offer different sizes and vacuum flows, with some models providing high vacuum levels and others focusing on medium or low levels with lower air consumption.

Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including vacuum levels, flow rates, and air consumption. Models are available in different materials, such as brass and stainless steel, and are designed for easy installation and maintenance.

Custom Solutions
Air-Vac offers custom-shaped vacuum generators and inserts, designed to fit specific product requirements. These custom solutions are small, lightweight, and can be tailored to minimize air usage and meet exact pressure requirements.

Quality and Certification
Air-Vac is committed to quality, with every vacuum generator tested to meet performance specifications. The company follows an Environmental Management System and is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

Air-Operated Vacuum Generator Technology “We Will Build You A Vacuum Source...” Flexibility of Design, Perfect for OEM Applications With high tech design, precision manufacturing, and quality testing, we can easily and economically change configuration, material, connections and performance to meet your exact specifications. Air-Vac offers four basic pump designs (AV, TD, MF, UV), with each providing a unique advantage. 50 Years Specializing in Air-Operated Vacuum Generator Technology. Air-Vac has designed and manufactured a broad range of vacuum pumps because there are advantages to each design and one design is not suitable for every application. Vacuum applications fall into the following categories: Vacuum Force Generators AV, AVR, RAV, MF & UV Models: Used for applications where the primary concern is the development of a high vacuum level and is measured in inches of mercury (“Hg). Used with vacuum cups in pick-and-place applications. For removing air or gases from process vessels, chambers, tanks or other closed systems. Vacuum handling and positioning of parts, leak testing of various systems, vacuum forming of sheet metal or plastic parts, and labeling, packaging and paper feeding machinery. The UV “Ultra-Vac” design provides near perfect vacuum of 29.7”Hg. Used to evacuate chambers, degas liquids and in other processes requiring vacuum levels of 1/4”Hg absolute (8 Torr). Used as a first stage pump in applications requiring high vacuum reducing operating time of expensive high vacuum pumping systems. Corrosion Resistant Stainless Steel Generators Vacuum Flow Generators TD & TDRH Models: Used where the primary concern is the induced flow of atmospheric air and relatively low vacuum levels. Pumps are designed for dynamic performance and are measured in cubic feet per minute (scfm). In addition, the straight through vacuum passage allows material to pass directly through the generator with no reduction of vacuum flow. Ideal for transporting or conveying solid materials in-line, vacuum removal of machined chips and loose scrap in fabricating dies, venturi wipes for wire drying, thread removal in textile machinery, air sampling in gas analyzing systems, and mixing of liquids and gases. The exhaust flow is a combination of compressed air and vacuum flow and can be used in various applications including: drying and air cooling systems, fluttering and handling of paper, opening bags and cartons, and air blowing systems for removal of parts, scrap or foreign matter. HAVRSS, HAVSS & TDSS Models: Used in a variety of industries and applications including: transport of abrassive materials, used in food processing because they withstand the aggressive chemicals used in sanitary wash downs. Having no electrical connections, they can be easily installed in hazardous explosion-proof areas, and used in high temperature applications.

The TD Single Stage Design was primarily designed to provide a straight through vacuum passage to allow the transport of solid material with no reduction of vacuum flow. Specifications Vac Vac Air level flow used Hg “H” versions produce HIGH vacuum levels. Vacuum Flow Rates to 10.9 scfm. TD110H Compressed air flows through a small annular opening to generate a high velocity. This air expands into an unobstructed vacuum passage, allowing solid material to flow through the pump with no decrease in vacuum flow. “M” versions produce MEDIUM vacuum levels. Vacuum Flow Rates to 33.0 scfm, but with substantially...

The MF Multi Stage Design provides high initial vacuum flow for fast evacuation. Multiple vacuum chambers insure minimum air consumption, providing low operating costs. Specifications Vac Air flow used scfm Energy from a single flow of high velocity air is used to maximum efficiency. Flow is forced through three venturi sections. Vacuum is created in three separate chambers. A common vacuum manifold connects to the three vacuum chambers. The result is high vacuum flow with low air consumption and fast evacuation. MFP Series - “H” version produces HIGH vacuum levels (27.2”Hg) and vacuum flow rates...
