DESCRIPTION
Vortec Transvector Blowoff products use the proven Transvector impulse principle to reduce noise and compressed air
consumption while delivering the same results as open air jets. Amplification ratios of up to 25 times greater than the compressed air consumption enable Transvector Blowoff products to produce
enormous energy savings. Plant wide conversion can result in reduced capital expenditures for additional compressors. For example, a 1/4” diameter open jet can consume the entire SCFM of
a 10 HP compressor at 100 PSIG. Conversely, Transvector Blowoff products considerably less SCFM than open air jets and meet OSHA requirements.
IMPULSE PRINCIPLE AT WORK
Transvector Jets and Blowoff Nozzles use the same impulse principle described in the Round Transvector section. Compressed air is released at sonic velocity through an annular orifice
0.002”. As the air passes through the orifice, it collides with surrounding air inducing and entraining a much larger mass of air. Blowoff nozzles are designed to maximize the speed of
compressed air enabling it to move large masses of secondary air.
TRANSVECTOR BLOWOFF PRODUCTS
Transvector Blowoff products are available as Jets or Nozzles to meet the needs of different
applications. Transvector Jets have a round throat design which is similar to the larger Transvectors. Ideal for parts ejection and other heavy-duty blowoff applications, Transvector Jets can
also be used for air conveying and spraying. Transvector Nozzles provide greater flow amplification with slightly less thrust. Nozzles are ideal for clustering in tight spaces, close to a target because the inlet and outlet are on the same center line.
The flow of all Transvector Nozzles and Jets can be varied by
regulating the compressed air line pressure. Several units can also be adjusted for different flows, irrespective of line pressure.
The Model 909 Transvector Set Jet has a micrometer dial for easy manual adjustment of the airflow. Greater
flow provides more thrust and effective range. The adjustable flow feature allows you to position the Transvector in a location that is most convenient, then adjust the flow for minimum air
consumption to accomplish your blowoff objectives.
The Models 901, 901B, and 901D are also adjustable for flow. These models are designed with a two piece body
that can be unscrewed, allowing you to add gap shims. Adding gap shims increases the opening of the annular orifice from the factory setting. As the compressed airflow through the nozzle
increases, so does the force and range of the amplified airflow.
