VLS safety system included

Features:

  • Air powered vacuum generator
    No electric power required, operates using dry, clean compressed air for vacuum generation. The vacuum generator is a single stage unit with no moving parts or rubber gaskets to maintain or replace.
  • Takes standard dry, clean shop air
    Input pressure to be regulated to 90 psi (72.5 psi on VPF-57/30-AIR). Provided with 3/8” NPT inlet.
  • Energy Air Saver vacuum generator:
    The vacuum controlled valve shuts off the flow of compressed air to the pump when the pre-set level is reached, and consequently the consumption of compressed air is minimized. (Not available on VPF-57/30-AIR)
  • Vacuum leakage sensor and warning system
    The VLS is a battery powered unit consisting of solid state circuitry with microprocessor, pressure sensor, LCD digital display in inches of Hg, and audible and visual warning signs (horn and red light). The system is plumbed to the Vac-Pack and monitors vacuum level, triggering the alarm in the event of a leakage in vacuum level.
  • Front mounted gauges
    Includes both input air pressure and vacuum indicator gauges, front mounted for continuous monitoring by the operator. Also included is a filter view port to monitor the filter for cleaning.
  • Ergonomic adjustable front handlebar
    Easy to grasp, large loop handlebar enables the operator to easily and safely maneuver the attached load without touching the load itself. Handlebar can be adjusted for smaller loads.
  • Slide control valve with push-button safety lock
    The slide valve assembly allows vacuum attach and release and is mounted to the front handlebar for convenient access by the operator. The push-button safety lock keeps the slide valve in the attach position while lifting a load to prevent accidental load release.
  • Vacuum check valve and reservoir
    A check valve and a vacuum reservoir help to maintain vacuum if the supply of compressed air is interrupted, for safe handling of non-porous loads.

Maintenance:

  • Air filter
    High capacity air filter provides protection against pump damage. It is mounted behind the front cover which has a view port for routine inspection.

General:

  • Frame construction
    The VPF-57-AIR series has a fully welded frame with a vacuum reservoir, a lifting bail and beam mounting hardware.
    • Standard for 3”x3” beam [9” hardware centers] with a structural lifting capacity rating up to 2,200 lbs (998 kg).
    • Heavy duty for 3”x6” beam [9” hardware centers] with a structural lifting capacity rating up to 4,400 lbs (1,996 kg).
  • Versatility
    For larger load lifting capability or alternate power requirements, ANVER offers electric powered and self-powered mechanical vacuum generators, all with standard mounting designs for interchangeability.

* Note: Optimum pressure is 90 psi (72.5 psi on VPF-57/30-AIR). Air supply flow (CFM) may adversely affect required pressure (psi) to achieve optimum vacuum level. Vacuum level is 24″ Hg at sea level. Due to Energy Saver technology, air consumption is “0” on a non-porous material once the vacuum level is reached at peak value. Energy Saver not included with VPF-57/30-AIR.

**Note: High flow version available.
