Generators are alternative vacuum pumps
Gast's range of vacuum generators are alternatives for aspiration, volatile vapour evacuation and other applications where pump size, noise, or high temperatures mean that vacuum pumps cannot be used
The stainless steel range is available in four models from 0.33 to 3.90kW (0.45 to 5.25hp), with motor speeds up to 10,000rpm.
They also feature Atex approval to the T4 standard and are classed as intrinsically-safe in hazardous environments, which reduces the possibility of explosion from the ignition of flammable gases.
Gast stainless steel air motors can be mounted in almost any position and users can choose from hub, foot, face, Nema C-flange or metric D series interface mountings, and clockwise, counterclockwise or reversible rotations.
Four vane models are available as standard, with eight vane models available for smoother running and better control for short-run applications including winches, hoists and hose reels.
Production of the range is being phased-in, with the 1AM and 4AM available for immediate delivery, and the 6AM and 8AM due in early 2008.
