Pneumatic conveying system for bulk material handling
Efficiently transport bulk materials with precision through pneumatic conveying systems, designed to optimize flow and minimize product degradation in your production line.
Transports and Controls Bulk Material Flow
Hosokawa Solids’ Pneumatic Conveying Systems provide reliable and sanitary transport of powders and granules across diverse industries, such as chemicals, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. These systems utilize either dense or dilute phase conveying methods, chosen based on your material properties and operational needs. They offer both pressure and vacuum conveying options, which adapt to batch or continuous processes efficiently. Constructed from materials such as mild or stainless steel, they ensure durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. With capacities tailored to specific applications, they maintain material integrity while reducing energy consumption. Compliant with GMP and FDA standards, the systems ensure safe transport of your products, with options for hygienic design and easy cleaning. Customization options in system design help you integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, backed by comprehensive engineering support from Hosokawa Alpine Group.
