When dealing with vacuum systems, it’s easy to focus on the most visible components such as vacuum pumps, solenoid valves, vacuum switches, and pressure reducers, but in reality, as we know, a system’s efficiency also depends on what connects these elements together.
It is precisely with this in mind that Vuototecnica is launching its new 3” gas TPR pipe, along with the corresponding 3” gas RMTPR aluminum fitting, a solution that naturally completes the expansion of the product line toward increasingly larger diameters, designed to handle high flow rates and maintain high performance.
TPR flexible pipes are specifically developed for vacuum applications and are characterized by reliable sealing, flexibility, resistance to deformation, and the ability to maintain their properties over time, even under harsh operating conditions.
These are fundamental aspects, because in a vacuum system, every leak, every restriction, and every non-optimized section results in reduced performance, longer cycle times, and increased stress on the source.
The introduction of new solenoid valves and new vacuum reducers with 3” gas section sizes made it necessary to address the final link in the chain: the tubing. If the vacuum source is capable of delivering high flow rates and the upstream components are sized to fully utilize them, the connection must also be up to the task.
The pipe’s geometry and materials are designed to ensure a reliable and stable connection over time. The aluminum fitting, for its part, helps maintain the overall structural integrity and provides a robust connection.
This is not just “a larger pipe,” but a true adaptation of the vacuum infrastructure to new system requirements, a concrete response to the needs of those working with high flow rates who require reliable piping, designed for vacuum and perfectly integrated with the new 3” gas components.
