A few months ago, I wrote here on the EXAIR Blog about my wife and I competing in our very first powerlifting competition. It’s a long and tiring process training for months for one single day, but to see all of your hard work payoff on the platform come competition day makes it all worth it. After competing on Saturday, we were both back in the gym the following Monday morning getting ready for the next one. Memorial Day weekend we participated in the Rivercity Barbell MAYhem meet in Northern Kentucky, another trophy for my wife, and another 2nd place medal for me. I’m beginning to see a trend here…. The entire day didn’t go the way I wanted it to, but I was pleased with a strong finish: a 500lb deadlift on my 3rd attempt to end the day. Exactly what I had in mind on the drive home in early January after our first meet.
After a full, long day of lifting stuff up and putting it back down, I was definitely ready to hit the bed right upon getting home. I could’ve saved myself quite a bit of energy and exhaustion by using one of EXAIR’s E-Vac Vacuum Generators. Although I’m fairly certain that would end in a quick disqualification…
EXAIR’s E-Vacs are designed to take the difficult part out of lifting, placing, clamping, and mounting across a wide variety of parts and materials. EXAIR offers two primary styles of E-Vacs to serve your needs: In-Line E-Vacs & our Adjustable E-Vacs
The In-Line E-Vacs are a single stage, cylindrical units that are compact and easy to mount right at the point of use. They can be held in place by threading directly onto a compressed air line, or by the use of a mounting clip. We offer styles for use with porous materials, such as paper or cardboard, with vacuum levels up to 21” Hg and vacuum flows up to 18.5 SCFM. For non-porous materials, such as glass, we offer units with vacuum levels up to 27” Hg and with vacuum flows up to 15.8 SCFM.
For applications that may have varying weights and sizes, we offer a line of Adjustable E-Vacs as well. With the simple loosening of a locknut and turning the exhaust, you can increase and decrease both the level of vacuum and the vacuum flow. This style is also an excellent choice for applications where large particulate may be present and can pass through the vacuum. We offer (4) different models with adjustable vacuum up to 25” Hg and vacuum flows up to 81 SCFM.
No matter what it is you’re trying to pick up, EXAIR has an E-Vac suited to the task. For help in sizing the appropriate vacuum generator for your application, feel free to give us a call. Hopefully by then I’ve figured out how to win one of these competitions, and I’m sure I’ll have a trophy case full of ‘em for my wife.
