Lean phase vacuum conveying system for powder handling
In many industrial applications, efficient powder handling is crucial for maintaining production quality and speed. Conventional methods often struggle with material loss, contamination, or uneven distribution, necessitating more advanced conveying solutions.
Convey powders efficiently with low operating pressures
The Lean Phase Vacuum Conveying system by GEA is designed for efficient powder handling applications. Utilizing positive displacement exhausters, it creates a vacuum up to 50% to transport materials through a pipeline to a receiving vessel, where air and product are separated. This system can handle convey rates of up to 10 tonnes per hour over distances up to 100 meters. The vacuum conveying method is particularly well-suited for low to moderate capacity materials and can operate from multiple intake points to a single destination. Its low operating pressure allows for the use of less expensive pipelines and fittings, making it a cost-effective and versatile solution. The system is ideal for central vacuum cleaning systems, as well as for drawing product from multiple silos in industries such as food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals.
