Vacuum Generators

Vacuum generators represent a critical component in modern material handling and automation systems. Orange Coast Pneumatics stocks a comprehensive range of vacuum generators designed to provide efficient, reliable vacuum generation for diverse applications. These units convert compressed air power into consistent vacuum pressure, offering an effective solution for many industrial processes.

SMC Vacuum Generators

Our SMC vacuum ejectors utilize advanced venturi designs that optimize compressed air usage while maintaining reliable vacuum levels. The multi-stage designs provide improved efficiency compared to traditional single-stage units, helping reduce operating costs in high-duty-cycle applications. Integrated features like energy-saving circuits further enhance operational efficiency.

Available configurations support everything from basic material handling to specialized automated systems. Compact designs allow installation directly at the point of use, reducing vacuum losses and improving system response. Silencing options help maintain quieter operation without compromising performance.

Installation flexibility remains a key advantage of these vacuum system solutions. Manifold mounting options support centralized vacuum generation, while individual units offer maximum installation flexibility. Our team provides access to detailed specifications and system requirements to support proper selection.

Performance benefits include:

• Quick vacuum generation
• Energy-efficient operation
• Flexible mounting options
• Low maintenance requirements

FAQs

What size vacuum generator do I need?

Selection depends on pad size, cycle time requirements, and material characteristics. We help calculate proper sizing based on your specific application needs.

How do they compare to electric vacuum pumps?

Vacuum generators offer quick response and simple installation but require compressed air. They excel in applications needing distributed vacuum generation or quick cycle times.

What maintenance is required?

Check silencer condition monthly and verify vacuum performance quarterly. Replace silencers annually or when pressure drop increases noticeably.
