Selecting the appropriate Neutro-Vac® Web Cleaning System is crucial for optimizing debris removal and static control in your production process. The Neuro-Vac systems are available in various models, each tailored to specific web widths and airflow requirements:
- Neutro-Vac MD (Mini Draft): Designed for web widths of 4 to 10 inches, with an airflow of 100 cfm.

- Neutro-Vac SD (Single Draft): Designed for web widths of 12 to 42 inches, with an airflow of 300 cfm.

- Neutro-Vac DD (Double Draft): Designed for web widths of 48 to 84 inches, with an airflow of 600 cfm.

- Neutro-Vac TD (Triple Draft): Designed for web widths of 90 to 126 inches, with an airflow of 1200 cfm.

Each model is designed to provide efficient two-dimensional cleaning of webs, sheets, and parts, incorporating features like stainless steel hoods, butterfly valves for enhanced vacuum adjustment, and patent-pending flow dampers for precise airflow regulation.
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Neutro-Vac Hood
- Web Width: Choose a model that would fit within the width of the web to ensure complete coverage. For instance, if your web width is 35 inches, the Neutro-Vac SD may be the best fit.
- Material Sensitivity: Determine whether your application requires contact or non-contact cleaning. The Neutro-Vac System can be configured accordingly, with options to remove the brush for non-contact applications.
- Contaminant Size: Down to 20 microns in size, the Neutro-Vac System has effective particulate removal, making it suitable for applications requiring high cleanliness standards.
- Airflow Requirements: Ensure your facility's vacuum system can accommodate the airflow demands of the chosen Neutro-Vac hood.
- Installation Constraints: Consider the physical space available for installation. This system's compact design allows for easy integration into existing lines, minimizing downtime and setup costs.

Selecting the right Neutro-Vac® Web Cleaning System hood involves evaluating your specific web width, installation space, material sensitivity, airflow capacity and contaminant size. By aligning these factors with the specifications of the Neutro-Vac hood models, you can enhance product quality, reduce rejects, and improve overall productivity.
