Start with the load
Define the workpiece mass, safety factor, cup area, and target vacuum before comparing generator size.
Category 1 of 5

How to choose
Begin with the workpiece and cycle, then verify performance, interfaces, environment, and maintenance needs against the family data.
Separate vacuum level from flow
Sealed surfaces reward higher vacuum. Porous or leaky surfaces need more evacuation flow and often a multi-stage design.
Model the cycle
Include evacuation time, pick confirmation, transfer time, release time, and blow-off requirements.
Budget compressed air
Compare air consumption at the rated supply pressure and consider energy-saving control for long hold periods.

1.1
Mini & Compact Ejectors
Smallest footprint in the range. Mounted directly at the cup or on the tool plate, where hose volume is the limit on cycle time.
ABM/ABX
Mini Vacuum Generator
- Max. vacuum level
- -92 to -85 kPa
- Air supply pressure
- 4.5-6.0 bar
ABM/ABX
Mini Combined Vacuum Generator
- Air supply pressure range
- 4.5 to 6.0 bar
- Noise level
- 50 to 65 dB(A)
AYB
Mini Vacuum Generator
- Max Vacuum Level (kPa)
- 58 to 88
- Max Vacuum Flow (NL/min)
- 7 to 20
1.2
In-Line & Basic Ejectors
Bare Venturi cartridges without integrated valves. The economical choice where the machine already provides air control.
1.3
Integrated & Valve-Unit Ejectors
Ejector, supply valve, blow-off valve, silencer and often a vacuum switch in one body. One air line and one electrical connector per gripping point.
AZK
Integrated Vacuum Generator
- Max. vacuum level
- 74 to 91 kPa
- Max. vacuum flow
- 40 to 68 NL/min
AZQ
Integrated Vacuum Generator
- Max Vacuum Level
- 84 to 91 kPa
- Max Vacuum Flow
- 12 to 40 NL/min
1.4
Multi-Stage Ejectors
Two or three nozzle stages in series. Substantially more flow per NL/min of air consumed than a single stage, which is what porous material handling needs.
AMD
Large-Flow Vacuum Generator
- Max. Vacuum Level
- 75 to 95 kPa
- Max. Vacuum Flow
- 354 to 1410 NL/min
1.5
Energy-Saving Ejectors
Air-saving control shuts the supply once the set vacuum is reached and re-opens only on decay. On airtight workpieces this cuts consumption to a fraction of continuous running.
AZD
Energy-Saving Vacuum Generator
- Max vacuum level
- 83 kPa
- Max vacuum flow
- 130 NL/min
1.6
Ejectors with Fast Blow-Off
Reverse-pulse release for short cycles. The blow-off path is sized so that the cup lets go as fast as it grips.
1.7
Conveying & Large-Flow Generators
Straight-through bodies for moving particle, powder, gas and fluid, and for gripping highly permeable material where flow, not vacuum level, decides.
1.8
Vacuum Blowers
High-flow, low-vacuum air amplification for very porous or heavily leaking loads.
