C. POLYCARBONATE TUBING, SWEEPS, AND SLEEVES

VAC-U-MAX Pneumatic Conveyor Tubing & Tubes - There is a clear choice for pneumatic conveyor systems that require
visual monitoring of processes. VAC-U-MAX 200® pneumatic tubing has been developed specifically for anti-static, low-
drag air conveyance applications. Pneumatic conveyors depend upon VAC-U-MAX 200® air transfer tubing for trouble
free material transport.

STRENGTH
VAC-U-MAX 200® rigid plastic tubing is remarkably resistant to physical, environmental and chemical assault. It meets
optimum specifications from impact strength and physical stress. It’s extruded from the most weather resistant butyrate
compound, with special inhibitors that resist natural and artificial ultraviolet radiation. Extensive testing has established that
VAC-U-MAX 200® tubing retains its full complement of characteristics - strength, clarity, versatility, interior smoothness -
for prolonged periods of exposure to adverse conditions, including many chemicals and reagents.
CLARITY
The inherent clarity of VAC-U-MAX 200® rigid plastic tubing is extraordinary. It’s crystal clear and ideal for applications that
rely on visual inspection to help monitor operations and rapidly identify problems. Equally important, distortion is minimal -
even in ½” wall thicknesses. And the extremely smooth interior of VAC-U-MAX 200® hard clear plastic tubing provides
excellent low-drag conveyance advantages, from the manufacture of paper cups to the pneumatic transactions of drive-
through banking. It’s as though you are working with glass, but with more versatility.
VERSALITY
All of the preceding traits of VAC-U-MAX 200® rrigid plastic tubing are complimented by its ability to be readily fabricated.
VAC-U-MAX 200®'s performance parameters are enhanced by its highly accommodating workability. It can be drilled,
sawed, tapped, turned and milled with conventional wood or metal-working tools. It can be sanded, buffed, polished, ashed
or sandblasted to acquire virtually any type of surface finish. It can be assembled with solvents, cement, threaded inserts,
screws and other techniques. And it can even be engraved or silk screened.
