Compressed air conveyors or ring vacs range is a series of air operated conveyors for moving product around a factory. These types of system are often referred to as Venturi loaders or hopper loaders. They operate, as the name would suggest, by the venture principle where high velocity compressed air is used to create a suction effect in the surrounding air. Compressed air enters the centre of the unit and is expelled through the “out” end in doing so a suction effect is created at the “in” end. Both ends are then connected to tubes and the conveyor system is formed.
