Vacuum Conveyors

The justifications for vacuum conveying are its simplicity of operation, ability to negotiate tortuous routes and hygienic transfer of materials. Put simply, product is conveyed from a feed source to a delivery point suspended in a stream of gas - usually air. When particulate materials are metered into an air-stream at an optimum solids to air ratio, the differential air pressure generated via a vacuumpump creates a high enough velocity to move the materials within the conveying tube. Although we do not manufacture Vacuum Conveyors ourselves, we do however recognise their place for certain applications and accordingly we can offer them to work in conjunction with our bulk bag and sack handling products - all as part of a turnkey installation for which we can also supply in-house designed and manufactured control panels. Our controls and equipment can be produced to meet the requirements of the ATEX/DSEAR directives relating to flammable and explosive atmospheres.
