Continuous vacuum conveyors for material flow control
Ensure consistent material transfer and reduce downtime in your production line with advanced continuous vacuum conveyors, designed to seamlessly handle powders, granulates, and even adhesive materials with minimal residue, optimizing your conveying and separation processes.
Conveys and Separates Powders, Granulates, and Liquids
The Continuous Vacuum Conveyor System CC from Volkmann is engineered to maintain uninterrupted material flow for demanding pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. Key features include a robust Volkmann vacuum pump/filter setup, which operates continuously while enabling reverse jet filter cleaning through a sequential switch-off mechanism. This ensures s efficient material conveyance and separation with minimal delay.
Capable of handling a diverse range of materials including powders, granulates, liquids, and adhesive substances, the system is ideally suited for applications such as pharmaceutical powder transfer, chemical granule separation, and food product processing. The system offers a conveying rate between 1 to 500 kg/h and features quick-to-dismantle components made from stainless steel 316L or other FDA-approved materials, facilitating easy cleaning and maintenance.
Integration into existing production lines is seamless, with ATEX-approved rotary valves and pneumatic piston vibrators minimizing product residue and ensuring compliance with stringent hygienic standards. The equipment supports continuous operations and is configurationally flexible, making it an excellent choice for manufacturers needing tailored material handling solutions that enhance processing efficiency and compliance.
