Line Vac Removes and Consolidates Slugs from Punch Process
Customer manufactures packaging lines for industry. A production packaging line has a hole punch system to put holes in material on a four lane packaging line. The slugs contaminate the area if they are not removed. They need to remove the slugs from each of the four lines. They have chosen to place one EXAIR Model 130075 3/4" (19mm) Light Duty Line Vac on each hole punching station to pull a vacuum at the punch and remove the slug into 10’ of EXAIR flexible PVC hose. They have ganged the 4 hoses together and placed them into a larger diameter vacuum line of their central vacuum system.
