Fox Venturi Eductors – What are they?
Fox Venturi Eductors convert the output of a blower into suction that can be used to entrain and feed powders, pellets, and bulk solids into a pneumatic conveying system. Because they have no moving parts, they can operate almost entirely maintenance-free. The eductor acts to compress the air/solids mixture to a pressure adequate to overcome losses in the downstream convey line. The eductor has three connections: • Motive Air • Suction or Product Inlet • Discharge How are they used in pneumatic conveying systems? Fox Venturi Eductors are used to feed bulk solids, such as powders, pellets, flakes, and particulates, into positive, dilute-phase conveying systems. They are commonly used in place of rotary valves where airlocks simply cannot perform adequately.
