Vacuum safety valve
21 July, 2009 | PIAB Vacuum Technologies
The Vactrap is a check valve which is also equipped with a built-in blow-off valve to provide quick release of an object. It is also available in a special version in which the vacuum pump and blow-off connections are interconnected (x-drilled), making it suitable for ejectors with an integrated blow-off valve, such as PIAB’s AVM models. The Vactrap can be used in an existing centralised vacuum system with external blow-off possibilities and it is also possible to get it with an integrated Pi12-2 COAX cartridge for decentralised vacuum systems.
