Vacuum Venturi Cartridges for OEM Machinery & Vacuum Generator Replacement
Vacuforce vacuum venturi cartridges provide a compact and efficient method of generating vacuum using compressed air. Designed as replacement cartridges for Vacuforce vacuum generators and as standalone components for OEM equipment manufacturers, these cartridges allow machine builders to integrate proven venturi technology directly into custom vacuum tooling, robotic grippers, packaging machinery and automation equipment.
Using advanced multi-stage venturi technology, these lightweight composite cartridges deliver excellent vacuum flow while maintaining low compressed air consumption. Available in multiple performance levels, they allow designers to select the ideal balance of vacuum flow, vacuum level and air consumption for their application.

A vacuum venturi cartridge is the core vacuum generating element used inside a venturi vacuum generator. Rather than purchasing a complete vacuum generator assembly, machine builders can install the cartridge directly into their own tooling, manifolds or machine designs to create a compact custom vacuum system.
Vacuforce cartridges are also commonly used as replacement components for existing Vacuforce vacuum generators when servicing or upgrading installed equipment.
Why Use a Venturi Cartridge?
- OEM Integration: Easily incorporated into custom machinery and tooling.
- Compact Design: Requires very little installation space.
- Multi-Stage Technology: High vacuum flow with excellent compressed air efficiency.
- Replacement Capability: Direct replacement for existing Vacuforce cartridges.
- Lightweight Construction: Ideal for robotic tooling and end-of-arm applications.
- No Moving Parts: Virtually maintenance-free operation.
Available Cartridge Options
Vacuforce venturi cartridges are available in multiple performance configurations to suit different vacuum applications. Depending on the selected model, cartridges offer varying vacuum flow rates and vacuum levels to accommodate everything from small electronic components to larger vacuum cup arrays.
This flexibility allows OEM machine builders to standardize around a single cartridge family while selecting the performance level most appropriate for each application.
OEM Machine Builder Applications
Vacuum venturi cartridges are widely used by machine builders, automation integrators and equipment manufacturers who require a compact vacuum source that can be incorporated directly into their equipment design.
Common applications include robotic end-of-arm tooling, packaging machinery, carton handling systems, vacuum grippers, electronics assembly equipment and custom automation projects.
Advantages of Multi-Stage Venturi Technology
Unlike simple single-stage venturi designs, multi-stage venturi cartridges provide greater vacuum flow while using compressed air more efficiently. This allows faster evacuation times and improved performance in applications with multiple vacuum cups or products that require higher airflow.
The increased efficiency can help reduce operating costs while improving overall machine productivity.
