5 The best solution for your unique situation Engineering is a matter of solving problems one at a time within a system, until the system performs consistently at or above the desired standard. Vaccon designs what you need, using standard products or customized solutions. We solve problems at the design stage to minimize production downtime and lower your maintenance costs. Our technology choices are based on the best answer for your problem, not what s in stock in a warehouse. Vaccon s expansive product line includes over 40,000 items. If your application requires a unique mounting interface to mate with your process, a special material compatible with your environment, or other than standard operating pressure, Vaccon will make it happen. Your solution will be built from the best components on the market original Vaccon pumps, gauges, cups and more. In-house design and production We manufacture all of our pumps in-house to deliver the quality you require for your solution. Our inhouse design and production capabilities allow a very short production cycle for original designs. Expert Engineering Services Eliminate the guesswork. Vacuum technology isn t an exact science. To ensure proper product selection, Vaccon offers expert application engineering assistance, a 30 day test and evaluation program, or you can send sample products to our in-house test facility and we will test and size a system for you. Engineering-driven intelligence Our customers say it best Vaccon quickly designed a tool that permitted great flexibility in the items we handle. Their design had a very high operating speed and came in at a cost well within our budget. Moreover, their solution featured vacuum generators that could cycle very quickly, a requirement for this application. Vaccon made it possible for us to meet our delivery deadline. Victor Riveros, TECHNOFOODS It s difficult to catch the pacesetter in any industry. Our innovative vacuum solutions have been turning heads and leading the way for four decades. Clients around the corner and around the globe count on Vaccon to solve their tough automation challenges. Even our competitors flatter us with similar product designs in their catalogs, but they can t engineer your success like Vaccon. As designers, we stand by our technology and we guarantee a smart solution (USA only)

6 We Like to Play in the Dirt! (No Filters Required) Debris the natural enemy of a vacuum pump By their nature, vacuum pumps suck in the atmosphere around them. Whatever debris, dirt and/or dust are in the air will be drawn into the pump. In 40 years, we ve seen our competitors pumps clogged with just about everything corrugated dust, flour, glass, chocolate you name it. Unless your pump is designed for these hazards, it s just a matter of time until the system experiences lower suction and higher downtime. Engineering a better pump Filters don t solve problems...they just delay them. Anything that would clog a pump will eventually clog a filter. That s why Vaccon pumps are designed to operate in adverse conditions without filters or flap valves. We engineer pumps without moving parts or torturous air flow paths. The result? Debris blows through and out of the pumps, with no loss of suction. Maintenance-free performance Whether your application is carton erecting, pet food bagging or sheet-feeding metal into a press, Vaccon pumps operate continuously and efficiently, with no maintenance. Vaccon pumps do not require filters, therefore minimizing or eliminating production downtime. vaccon.com engineering@vaccon.com

7 In a perfect world, your vacuum system would be implemented in a spotlessly clean environment but we don t live in a perfect world. Vacuum Pumps Designed for Dirt Venturi Vacuum Variable Inline The VP Series features Vaccon s advanced venturi design, generating high internal air velocity that carries dirt and debris through and out of the pump. A unique Vaccon innovation, the VDF Series places the vacuum and exhaust ports inline, making a straight-through venturi vacuum pump. Designed for extremely dirty environments even sand, chunks of cinder block or stone. These pumps are field-adjustable for lower energy consumption. High Vacuum Flow Material Conveying CDF Series Air amplifiers easily and safely handle objects that many consider too challenging to handle with vacuum...crumbly, delicate, porous products like pastries and frozen foods. These pumps generate enormous vacuum flows for overcoming leakage due to porosity or uneven surfaces. The DF Series has an inline vacuum to exhaust design, without converging or diverging sections within the pump body. The smooth continuous bore provides a simple, reliable and cost effective method of conveying products of all shapes from point A to point B without any moving parts (USA only)

8 Our customers say it best The Vaccon pumps just never failed they never got clogged and we passed some pretty crazy stuff through them. Dan Brackett, Hebert Candies We Pick Things Up! Vacuum Accessories: High performance depends on the details Pick the right suction cup for a safe, secure grip. Choose the right fitting to ensure proper vacuum flow to the cup. Use the right vacuum foam gripper to pick up different objects without switching EOAT. Add the right spring leveler and compensate for uneven surfaces. Specify the right cup mount and your system becomes much more flexible. Select the right vacuum switch with changing color display for easy system monitoring. Each component represents an opportunity to optimize your system performance. Vaccon offers a complete line of vacuum accessories to complete and fully integrate any system design. Put our design team to the test we can pick up anything all you need to do is pick up the phone. vaccon.com engineering@vaccon.com

9 VACCON Vacuum Technology: A Natural Fit for End-of-Arm Tooling Robotic applications become even more efficient when Vaccon products are used below the wrist. The needs of a vacuum system vary widely between applications and industries. With Vaccon as a partner, integrators and machine builders have a vacuum expert on their team. Save time and money, get us involved at the design stage knowing the load and focusing on key aspects of the part to be handled helps you to specify the right EOAT components to choose the optimum robot for the job. You can order EOAT products separately and build your own tooling. Or, purchase a complete pre-built EOAT solution fully configured, plumbed, and guaranteed for out-of-the-box installation. Vaccon designed, assembled, tested and shipped this new end-of-arm tool for a Kuka robot in one day (USA only)
