In the following video, we analyze a new application of Vuototecnica’s CX series Coanda effect flow generators.
We already highlighted in the past the versatility of these devices in demanding contexts, such as the suction of shavings from machine tools or the loading of hoppers.
Today’s case, however, takes us into the food packaging sector, where simplicity becomes an immediate competitive advantage.
In the video, we can see a CX50 installed on the packaging line of a well-known rice producer. The requirement was to remove the so-called “fin,” or the excess plastic resulting from the cutting of the heat-sealed rice bag.
Usually, to manage this waste, companies use bulky industrial vacuum cleaners equipped with side channel blowers. These solutions not only take up valuable space, but also remain in constant operation, generating noise and high energy consumption.
Vuototecnica radically changes this approach: the CX50, positioned near the cutting blade, sucks up the waste and conveys it through a flexible hose into a simple collection container. The latter is equipped with a cap filter on top to allow air to escape and retain the waste.
The advantages of this pneumatic configuration are clear:
- energy savings (on-demand): unlike industrial vacuum cleaners, which must remain on all the time, Vuototecnica’s CX is only powered at the exact moment of cutting and suction;
- low-pressure efficiency: the system is effective even when powered at only 3 bar;
- no maintenance: with no moving parts (impellers, bearings, motors), the generator is not subject to wear and tear and does not require machine downtime.
A practical demonstration of how maximum operational cleanliness can be achieved while reducing costs and space requirements.
