Why use a Gast Vacuum Generator? Compressed Air Driven Low Air Consumption GAST vacuum generators are easy to install. They operate efficiently on shop air and avoid the possible spark associated with electric motors on critical applications. And, there’s no RF noise generated to affect electrical/electronic systems either. Multi‑venturi design improves efficiency to achieve 90% vacuum (27 inHg against a barometric pressure of 29.92”) while attaining high vacuum flow rates. Economical to Operate Expect extra long life with no lubrication required. The innovative Gast multi‑venturi design uses...

Single- and Multi-stage Product Overview The specifications listed are that of a unit at sea level with an ambient temperature of 70°F (21 °C), operating with normal electrical current conditions. The figures stated in this catalog are nominal approximations for models without accessories. Intake filters and exhaust mufflers, and the accumulation of contaminants in them during operation, will decrease the flow of air as well as the achievable pressure. The units that we list in this catalog are a small portion of what we actually make. Those listed are considered "standard units" and are normally...
