Description
VR SERIES COMPRESSED AIR POWERED MINI VACUUM GENERATORS
Aluminium bodied mini vacuum pumps that mount straight onto the cup – 26 in. Hg, no moving parts
Product Overview
With the ANVER VR Series Mini Vacuum Pumps you connect compressed air directly to your vacuum cup. This creates the vacuum at the load, which minimises the potential for loss of vacuum through tubing.
These mini generators turn a vacuum cup into a complete lifting system. Several can be mounted to a compressed air manifold to pick up large groupings of separate items, or one load. If some items are missing, the others do not lose vacuum – each has its own air supply.
To release the load, simply shut off the exhaust port or the compressed air supply.
Sizing guide – ANVER recommends the VR05 for cups up to 1 in. (25 mm) diameter, and the VR07 or VR09 for cups between 1 in. and 4 in. (25 to 102 mm). Any model may be used on all small cups, and all systems should be tested for suitability.
Features
01 – Compact
Only the size of a fitting.
02 – Economical
No moving parts to break down.
03 – Simple construction
Simple mounting and construction throughout.
04 – Low air consumption
From 0.42 SCFM on the VR05.
05 – Lightweight yet rugged
An aluminium body at around 22 grams.
06 – Millisecond cycles
Mounts directly to the suction cup for millisecond attach and release in packaging applications (optional).
*Important safety note – use caution when a VR vacuum pump is connected directly to a cup. There is no check valve in the system to prevent the load releasing if compressed air power is lost.

The -G suffix denotes BSPP (G) threads in place of NPT; performance is identical. The VR09-316SS is a 316 stainless steel version of the VR09 for washdown, food or corrosive environments – it weighs 1.98 oz. against 0.78 oz. for the aluminium body.
Air Consumption & Vacuum Flow at Different Vacuum Levels
Measured at 72.5 psi supply pressure. Vacuum flow falls as the vacuum level rises – check the pump still moves enough air at your working vacuum.

Reading these figures – the last few inches of vacuum cost the most time. The VR05 reaches 24 in. Hg in 476 seconds but needs 974 seconds to reach 26. Size the pump for the vacuum you actually need, not the maximum it can reach.
