How do I reduce air consumption, provide cost savings, and increase productivity?

DE-STA-CO, a global manufacturer of industrial automation and workholding solutions, answers that question with the launch of its complete line of Auto-Release Venturi (ARV) products.

The typical two-line or centralized vacuum system requires the use of two air lines, one for “air-in” supply to generate vacuum, and the other for blow-off to release the part.

The ARV requires just one line, a supply “air-in” line for vacuum. The ARV features an atmospheric vent for instant part release, and an integrated silencer for quiet operation (less than 70dB). These features save time and money by offering the following benefits:
• Faster Production Speeds
• 150+ cycles per minute
• 60% less air consumption (reducing cost and carbon emissions)
• Reducing operator fatigue.

The ARV was designed to fit into existing plumbing without the cost of additional components.

Let us show you how to convert your vacuum system in five easy steps.

From a two-line system using venturi with blow-off
Step 1 Locate blow-off air-line.
Step 2 Disconnect/remove air line and plug blow-off port.
Step 3 Disconnect/remove existing venturi and replace with ARV.
Step 4 Reconnect air line to ARV.
Step 5 Verify operation.



From a Centralized Vacuum System (CVS)

Step 1 Locate CVS/vacuum generator and remove from system.
Step 2 Install tow Position Valves, connect to air supply and plug blow-off port.
Step 3 Disconnect/remove existing port-only adaptor and replace with ARV.
Step 4 Reconnect air line to ARV.
Step 5 Verify operation.



For Clean Room Applications

• 1-2 particles per cubic meter of air (M3)
• Auto blow-off prevents contamination
• Remote exhaust port delivers exhaust outside of clean room
• Clean room air used for part release
• Vacuum port removes debris/self cleaning
• Hassle-free installation: SCARA 50-millimeter bolt circle


For Porous and Textured Products

Increased Vacuum Flow

The Multi-Flow ARV is offered with either a medium or high-flow cartridge, designed to be used for:
• Handling porous products
• Products with textured surfaces
• General industry

Available with apple core or remote “block” style mounting.
