Schmalz Inc. has introduced a new series of
high-performance ejectors for energy-saving vacuum generation. "The compact
basic ejector 'Schmalz Base Pump' (SBP) weighs only a fraction of the weight of
comparable ejectors and is the lightest in its class," said a company
spokesperson. "The compact inline ejector 'Schmalz Line Pump' (SLP) weighs less
than 1/4 of an ounce, hardly more than the piece of hose it replaces, but has an
enormous suction capacity.
"The SBP-a vacuum generator with a single-stage nozzle-is available in six different nozzle diameters between 0.5 and 2.5 millimeters. The one-piece plastic housing is robust and impact-resistant and can be mounted either on its side-with the aid of threaded mounting holes-or with the aid of a base that can be mounted onto a DIN rail. The compressed air and vacuum can be connected quickly and easily via a push-in connection or with threaded couplings. The SBP is also available with integrated vacuum and blow off valves as well as vacuum switch for part presence monitoring.
"The SLP vacuum generators have a single-stage nozzle and are available with a nozzle diameter of 0.5 or 0.7 millimeters. The push-in connectors permit rapid connection of a 4mm hose directly in-line to the cup; no other connecting or mounting accessories are needed. Due to their slim design-with a diameter of only 10mm-their low weight, and their high performance, the SLP ejectors are particularly suitable for demanding applications in highly dynamic handling processes."
