What is Vacuum Conveying?
Vacuum Conveying uses suction to transfer dry materials (powders, granules, etc.) from one location to another within a processing area. This is typically used to transfer powders from containers (drums, bag dump stations, bulk bag unloaders, feed hoppers, etc.) to a receiving vessel for further processing.
There are two types of Vacuum (or Pneumatic) Conveying: Dilute Phase & Dense Phase.
During Dilute Phase Conveying, the powder is transferred within the air stream at a very high rate. This type of conveying is perfect for when there is no concern for segregation within the material.
Dense Phase Conveying transfers the powder in slugs of material at a slightly slower rate. This is the best choice for powder blends as segregation of the product is eliminated.
Advantages of
Vacuum Conveying
There are several advantages to using Vacuum Conveying vs. other mechanical powder transfer systems:
- Provides a dust-free, contained transfer of material
- Extremely gentle to the material during transfer
- Vacuum Conveying Systems are highly reliable
- Very low maintenance and easily cleaned
- Quick and simple installation and control
- cGMP and Hygienic design
- Very small footprint compared to mechanical transfer systems
- Can be 100% air powered for hazardous environments
