    The COAX Technology: Inside the Vacuum Ejector

    It’s time to get technical. In this episode, we go inside the nozzle to see how COAX technology utilizes supersonic air and progressive staging to outperform traditional methods. We break down the vital differences between maximizing flow versus maximizing depth, and why distinct industrial environments require specialized, dirt-tolerant designs. From energy-saving valves to "supersonic" geometries, this is your practical guide to choosing the right vacuum engine- ensuring you prioritize the right metrics for speed, efficiency, and grip.

    Full of Nothing, Built for More

    In this episode, the focus shifts from theory to practice, exploring how different vacuum generators perform in real industrial environments. The discussion compares mechanical pumps, single-stage ejectors, and multi-stage ejectors, highlighting trade-offs in vacuum level, flow, energy consumption, noise, and maintenance. Key concepts such as the de Laval nozzle, Bernoulli’s principle, and the crucial difference between displacement flow and mass flow are clarified. The episode concludes with practical guidance on selecting efficient vacuum technology for continuous and cycling applications, with special attention to multi-stage Coax ejectors and their impact on speed, energy use, and overall system performance.
