Vacuum Generator

Vacuum Generator

Product catalog summary
Features & Benefits
  • Low Cost: The simple design results in low cost with no moving parts, eliminating maintenance and downtime costs.
  • Adjustable: The vacuum level can be controlled by adjusting the air supply pressure.
  • Compact: The compact design allows the vacuum generator to be located at the point of application for maximum efficiency.
  • Quiet: Operates without vanes, pistons, or motors.
  • Safe: No moving parts make it safe for use in hazardous atmospheres.
  • Efficient: Consumes 4.8 SCFM at 80 psi inlet with a vacuum level of 28 in. Hg at the same pressure.
Standard Specifications
  • Materials: Made from aluminum (black anodized) and brass.
  • Weight: 2.1 oz.
Glossary of Terms
  • Air Consumption: The volume of compressed air required to operate the vacuum generator, measured in SCFM.
  • Air Supply Pressure: The pressure of compressed air at the supply inlet, measured in psi.
  • Time of Evacuation: The time needed to evacuate a system from atmospheric pressure to a specified vacuum level.
  • Vacuum: A condition where atmospheric air is removed, resulting in lower pressure within the system than outside.
  • Vacuum Flow: The rate at which atmospheric air exits a system, expressed in SCFM.
  • Vacuum Level: The level of negative pressure, expressed in inches of Mercury (in. Hg).
Model VTR-1
  • Applications: Produces high-quality vacuum from shop air for uses such as suction cups for parts handling and chamber evacuation.
  • Connections: Features a 3/4 Hex, 1/4 NPT exhaust outlet, 1/8 NPT air supply inlet, and 1/8 NPT vacuum inlet.
Graphical Data
  • Vacuum Level vs. Air Supply Pressure: Shows the relationship between vacuum level (in. Hg) and air supply pressure (psig).
  • Air Consumption vs. Air Supply Pressure: Illustrates air consumption (SCFM) relative to air supply pressure (psig).
  • Time of Evacuation: Displays the time required to evacuate 1 cubic foot to various vacuum levels at 80 psi air supply pressure.

Vacuum Generator-1

Specifications subject to change without notice or incurring obligation 15 6-29-05 15.1 VTR-1 Features & Benefits • Low Cost Simple design results in low cost. No moving parts to wear means no maintenance costs. No maintenance means no down time costs. • Adjustable Control vacuum level by adjusting air supply pressure. • Compact Allows you to locate the vacuum generator at the point of application for highest efficiency. • Quiet No vanes, pistons or motors. • Safe No moving parts, safe in hazardous atmospheres. • Efficient Air consumption: 4.8 SCFM @ 80 psi inlet. Vacuum level: 28 in. Hg @ 80 psi inlet. Standard Specifications Glossary of Terms • Air Consumption The volume of compressed air, per unit time, required to operate the vacuum generator; measured in standard cubic per minute (SCFM). • Air Supply Pressure Pressure of the compressed air at the supply inlet of the vacuum generator; measured in pounds per square inch (psi). • Time of Evacuation The time required to evacuate a given system from atmospheric pressure to a specified negative pressure (vacuum level). • Vacuum Vacuum exists when atmospheric air is removed from a system, resulting in less pressure within the system than the atmospheric pressure outside the system. • Vacuum Flow The rate at which atmospheric air moves out of a system is defined as the vacuum flow rate and is expressed in standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM). • Vacuum Level The level of negative pressure is defined as vacuum level and expressed in inches of Mercury (in. Hg.). Model VTR-1 Materials: Aluminum, black anodized and Brass Weight: 2.1 oz. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Vacuum Level in.
