Dense phase vacuum conveying for fragile powders
Handling fragile powders in industries like dairy, food, and pharmaceuticals often poses challenges. Traditional conveying methods can lead to product damage and dust generation, affecting product quality and safety. There is a need for gentle and efficient powder conveying to maintain product integrity.
Control powder flow and reduce product damage
The RELCO® dense phase vacuum conveying system by Kovalus Separation Solutions offers a specialized method for moving fragile powders. It operates by controlling powder velocity and pressure to prevent product stalling and maintain consistent flow rates. Custom-engineered for specific conveying parameters, this system ensures gentle handling of powder types such as whey protein concentrate, skim milk, and infant formula. Capable of handling instantaneous rates up to 60,000 kg/h (160,700 lbs/h) over distances of 60 meters horizontally and 18 meters vertically, it is ideal for multiple sources converging to a single destination. The system is designed with special convey line valves for extended seat life, automatic pressure control, and components like vacuum pumps, inline filters, and vacuum receivers to ensure efficient operation. Its suitability for heat-sensitive and abrasive powders makes it a versatile choice across multiple industries.
