Vacuum Venturi Generator Conveyors

Vacuum Conveying Generators for Material Transfer & Industrial Waste Extraction

The Vacuforce VFMC Series vacuum conveying generators are designed for industrial material transfer, waste extraction and vacuum conveying applications. Using compressed air powered venturi technology, these generators create powerful vacuum flow capable of transporting lightweight materials, plastic scrap, paper trim, dust, pellets, granules and process waste without the complexity of mechanical vacuum pumps.

Commonly used on injection molding machines, paper converting equipment, CNC machinery and automated production systems, VFMC vacuum generators provide a compact, maintenance-free solution for moving materials from one location to another using vacuum airflow.

What Is a Vacuum Conveying Generator?

A vacuum conveying generator uses compressed air and venturi technology to create high vacuum flow capable of transporting materials through hoses or piping. Unlike traditional vacuum pumps, vacuum conveying generators contain no moving parts, require virtually no maintenance and can be installed directly at the point of use.

They are commonly used to transfer plastic pellets, paper trim, dust, lightweight scrap, packaging waste and production byproducts within industrial manufacturing facilities.

VFMC Series Features

• Aluminum or Stainless Steel Construction: Available for general industrial or corrosive environments.
• Hard Anodized Finish: Provides excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
• No Moving Parts: Increased reliability and reduced maintenance.
• No Heat Generation: Safe operation without electric motors.
• Maintenance Free: No lubrication, seals or bearings to replace.
• Compact Installation: Ideal for machine-mounted applications.

Common Applications for Vacuum Conveying Generators

• Injection molding machine part removal
• Plastic pellet transfer
• Plastic regrind conveying
• Paper trim extraction
• Paper cutoff removal
• CNC dust extraction
• Plastic scrap conveying
• Steel stamping scrap transfer
• Packaging waste collection
• Industrial process waste removal

Vacuum Conveying for Injection Molding

Injection molding facilities frequently use vacuum conveying generators to transfer plastic pellets, remove molded parts and collect production scrap. Their compact size and lack of moving parts make them particularly attractive for machine-mounted applications where reliability and minimal maintenance are important.

By eliminating mechanical vacuum pumps, manufacturers can reduce maintenance costs while simplifying installation and operation.

Vacuum Conveying vs Mechanical Conveyors

Vacuum conveying systems offer several advantages over mechanical conveyors, including fewer moving parts, lower maintenance requirements, compact installation and the ability to transport materials through flexible tubing or piping.

This makes vacuum conveying particularly useful when handling lightweight materials, production waste and difficult-to-access transfer locations.
