Altogether this gives you and easy way to keep your work space clean. Best of all the Vac-U-Gun isn’t just a vacuum system it can also work as a blower to blow air or transfer material.

EXAIR’s Vac-U-Gun System

The Vac-U-Gun system works off of the same principle of Entrainment as EXAIR’s Air Amplifiers and Line Vacs which can produce a strong suction for moving material. The removable generator located in the back of the Vac-U-Gun can be easily taken out and reoriented in order to create a strong blowing force that can be used for either blowing surfaces off or transferring material.

The Vac-U-Gun can be purchased in three different kits to help get you started:

6192 – Collection System: Vac-U-gun, reusable bag, brush, crevice tool, skimmer tool, (2) extension wands

Vac-u-Gun: Low Cost Vacuum, Blowoff and Transfer

Published on by Leave a comment

What is the Vac-u-Gun?  It is a low cost solution to many types of cleaning operations within an industrial setting.  The Vac-u-Gun is a vacuum gun, a blow gun, and a transfer tool, all-in-one! It is lightweight, easy to use, has durable die cast construction, and best of all, no moving parts to wear out. Simply hook up to a compressed air hose, and get to work.

Vac u Gun Hose

The Vac-u-Gun contains a nozzle insert that dictates the direction of air flow and operation. By simply unscrewing the the cap, reversing the orientation of the nozzle insert, and re-installing the cap, the gun is changed from a vacuum device to a blowoff device, and vice-versa.

The Vac-u-Gun can be used in three modes- Vacuum, Transfer and Blowoff-

Vacuum Mode – Vacuum shavings, absorbents, sawdust, or spills into a reusable bag, or into a receptacle via the vacuum hose. Why blow it off and the have to sweep it up later?

Transfer Mode – Transfer small parts, pellets, or trim over long distances, using the smooth bore vacuum hose.

Blowoff Mode – Blow chips, water, coolant, or scrap away from the work area. The large 1-1/4″ diameter outlet directs the air over a larger area in less time. The Vac-u-Gun uses less compressed air than an ordinary blow gun.

There are many advantages to a Vac-u-Gun, and some are:

Low cost, no moving parts/maintenance free, durable die cast construction, easy to switch form vacuum to blow mode, safe – no electricity, meets OSHA pressure requirements, lightweight and portable, versatile, and quiet.
