Anybody aware of a suction lance type system to recover 0.8mm shot particles from a pit into a storage hopper (possibly with built in dust removal)

I got a flyer from Fox Venturi Eductors that may be of interest. They have a web site at http://www.foxvalve.com

For good industrial portable vacuums for recovering media contact Thorne Pneumatic, 1 800 461-6180, Larry Wood.

In the last 2 years my company has purchased 2 excellent systems froms Industrial Metal Fabricators in Chatham Ontario. We actually use the systems to load our Peening machine and Cleaner. It pulls shot out of a 45 gallon drum with a wand and propels the media (S280) 35 feet up into our hopper, no mess no bags, no handling, no waste. We are also able to recycle all of our seived shot in our Shot Cleaner for a substantial $$$$ savings in shot purchasing. Give them a call at 519-354-4270 for more info ask for Allan or Frank.

have two shot peen machines with Torit dust collectors and shot seperators to seperate out trash and damaged shot.

The best systems I have seen. They are so good we bought two.
