All-Pneumatic Pilot Controlled Venturi Vacuum Generators
The all pneumatic VP50 Series are air pilot controlled venturi vacuum generators that feature an integral check valve and air pilot controlled blow-off for rapid part release or vacuum line clean out. Using air pilot control, VP50 Series generators generate vacuum only when needed, minimizing compressed air consumption. The unique, compact design of the VP50 Series allows for easy integration close to the work area for faster response.
There are three versions of the VP50 Series available:
