Transvair Venturi Eductor
The Young Industries Transvair® Venturi Eductor system provides a cost-effective and dependable solution for conveying powdered or pelletized materials in the chemical, petrochemical, food, ceramic, glass, and paint industries.
Venturi Eductors offer several advantages over traditional rotary valves. They use plant compressed air or gas, positive displacement or regenerative blowers for the motive air, eliminating issues like air blowback and pellet clipping, and ensuring smooth material flow while reducing maintenance needs.
Features & Options
Transvair Venturi Eductors are designed for simplicity and performance, offering a range of features and options to meet your specific conveying needs. These systems are best suited for pneumatically conveying powdered or pelletized material in applications requiring transport rates under 3,000 lbs/hr and distances up to 300 feet. Venturi Eductors help you reduce maintenance costs since they have no moving or rotating parts and can operate without needing to vent and filter dusty air associated with rotary valve venting.
Commonly used on the discharge of bag dump stations, funnels receiving product from screw feeders, or on the discharge of open hoppers, Venturi Eductors and the conveying systems integration can be sized and matched by our team of pneumatic conveying experts.
