Compressed air-operated products manufacturer, Exair, has released the latest iteration of its Chip Vac, now featuring an upgraded filter bag.

Chip vacuum systems are used in the food and beverage industry for sanitation, waste recovery, and material transfer in production and packaging areas. Exair’s pneumatic vacuum is designed to handle dry materials, spills, and manufacturing debris in an efficient and hygienic manner to maintain a compliant production environment.

The upgraded Chip Vac features an enhanced performance filter bag made from a singed polyester fabric, with a refined look and feel. Engineered for enhanced filtration, reduced dust release, and greater durability, the new material has a 50-70 CFM permeability, allowing for higher breathability while still retaining and capturing dust with less clogging or buildup.

The latest build also features a lightweight, soft-to-the-touch material that provides a sturdier build and is less prone to tearing. This purpose-built filter material was specifically engineered for filtration applications and rated to filter particles as small as 30 microns.

The upgraded filter bag material improves performance in industrial vacuum applications and has also been applied to other Exair products, including the Vac-u-Gun Filter Bag and Drum Covers.

Exair’s Chip Vac System and other products are available from Compressed Air Australia, the Darwin-based Australian distributor of Exair’s range.
