Note: Waste Removal Systems - Are available separately or as a combined assembly such as Vac-Bag Combos on page 9. Assemblies are

available for almost all models of machines, and for how those machines can be mounted: top mounted, semi-submerged, or fully submerged.

1. Air activation switches - A variety of switches are available for use on clutch type or electronic motors and for special applications. For

clutch motors, use a Lite-Touch treadle rod air switch to activate vacuum only when the machine is sewing. For electronic motors use a Lite-

Touch series treadle air switch or an electric solenoid valve which activates the vacuum only when the machine is running, beginning with the

first stitch. Use the motor mounted air switch on pedestal mounted machines and Ergo stands with clutch motors. Other switches, such as foot

valves, toggle switches, pilot valves, and pilot valves with time delays, are also available..

2. Vacuum Units - Vacuum units use compressed air to create vacuum for operating the system. The four categories of vacuum units are: Chain

Vacuum Units for cut chain removal; Waste Vacuum Units for trimmed waste and lint removal; Chain & Waste Vacuum Units for removal

of chain, trimmed waste and lint; and Chain & Waste Vacuum with Collection Units (i.e. Vac-Bag) for removal and collection of chain,

trimmed waste and lint. Units operate best at 80 PSI (5.5 Bar). Our patented Chain & Waste Removal Units recycle exhaust air from the chain

vacuum unit to create a second vacuum for the removal of trim waste. Vacuum is created for two functions at the energy cost of only one.

Waste and chain & waste units are available in 1½", and 2" for various sizes of trimmed waste.

3. Waste Collection Containers - Receive and store waste. All waste collection containers have an inlet where waste enters, a storage area

for waste to accumulate, and a filter to clean exhausted air. Two styles of collection containers are offered: waste canisters and waste bag

units. Waste canisters locate next to the machine while waste bag units attach to the table top.

4. Waste Funnels - Available in 1", 1½", or 2" depending on size of trimmed waste. Each of our patented funnel assemblies are designed to fit

close to and surround the trimming knives with vacuum which captures dust and lint as well as the trimmed waste. Funnel assemblies mount

directly to the machine casting using existing screw holes, or directly to the table top and swing-away or snap-out to allow machine mainte-

nance. Other waste funnels are for non-sewing uses or applications that are not listed and require a custom approach.

5. Accessories - Optional products such as mufflers or machine cleaning guns can be added during initial installation or at a later date. Mufflers

can be installed on any vacuum unit to reduce sound, and are available in ½", 1", 1½", or 2" sizes. See page 8. Templex "2 N 1" Vacuum Cleaning

Guns are compressed air operated and are ideal for removing the oily lint and debris from inside any sewing machine. See page 8.

Templex Compressed Air Operated Waste Removal Products:

Systems & Components

Templex Waste Removal Systems utilize compressed air to create vacuum. Systems are available for use on all types of sewing

machines and applications. Selecting a system for your application is as easy as 1-2-3. Each system consists of a Waste Funnel

and Vacuum Unit for waste removal, an Air Activation Switch to start and operate the system, and a Waste Collection Container to

receive and store waste. Also see our Vac-Bag combo's on page 9.

How To Select a System

Order a Complete Waste Removal System - Complete Vac-Bag Combos are available for the following machines: Overlock / Safety Stitch,

Cylinder Overlock, & Feed off The Arm (FOTA). See Page 9.

Order System Components

1. AIR ACTIVATION SWITCH - See Page 5

A. Select TBV-110LT 3-position Lite-Touch treadle rod air switch for clutch type motors. Works with electronic motors as well.

B. Select the proper 2-way or 3-way 24 Volt DC Solenoid Valve for electronic motors with motor run signals.

C. Select TBV-121 motor mounted air switch for pedestal mounted Feed off The Arm machines with clutch motors.

2. VACUUM UNIT - See Page 6

A. Will machine have a chain cutter. If Yes - Use chain removal assembly or chain & waste removal assembly. If No - Use waste removal only.

B. Size of trimmed waste - Select system based on the size of waste to be collected:

NOTE: Trimmed waste that is ¾" wide, use 1" or 1½" systems • Up to 1¼" wide, use 1½" systems • Up to 1¾" wide, use 2" systems.

3. WASTE COLLECTION CONTAINER - See Page 7

Select the appropriate waste canister or bag unit which best suits requirements and application.

4. WASTE FUNNEL - See Pages 10, 11, 12

A . For Machine mounted waste funnels see pages 11. Order by Manufacturer and machine class. For multi-use waste funnels see page 10.

B. Select the correct waste funnel based on the size of the trimmed waste and how the machine head is mounted. ie. Semi-submerged or top

of table, Fully-submerged or other. Match waste funnel size with vacuum unit selected. ie. 1.5" vacuum with 1.5" waste funnel.

5. ACCESSORIES - See page 8, 9
