What Is a Suction Unit?
A suction unit is a device designed to generate suction force.
It is primarily used in industrial machinery and medical equipment. The operational principle involves a compressor compressing air, and the air expelled through the discharge valve creates suction force when it reaches the suction port.
In industrial machinery, it is utilized for the removal of dust and cutting oil during the manufacturing process, as well as for paint recovery in paint booths, effectively eliminating harmful substances. In medical equipment, suction therapy, suction of bodily fluids during surgery, and sample collection for diagnostic equipment are common applications.
A suction unit consists of a compressor, discharge valve, suction hose, and suction port, with the mechanism relying on the air reaching the suction port to generate suction force. Noteworthy features include the generation of suction force and versatile applications. Points to consider include checking the condition of the suction hose and ensuring the proper functioning of safety devices.
