Pneumatic conveyor for fragile powders
Handling fragile powders and granulated ingredients in an industrial setting often involves challenges such as product breakdown and uneven flow. Techniques to maintain product integrity and efficient transport are essential to minimize waste and ensure consistent quality.
Conveys fragile powders with minimal breakdown
The Tetra Pak® Pneumatic Conveyor VDP FD ensures gentle handling of fragile powders and granulated ingredients through its vacuum dense-phase system. This system minimizes product breakdown with its low-velocity transport method, avoiding damage and reducing fat migration and shininess loss. The conveyor supports high air volumes thanks to a 5m² filter surface area with PE and PTFE coating, ensuring efficient filtration and reducing waste by up to 50% during transport. With a hopper volume ranging from 300 to 2000 liters and a production throughput of up to 7 tonnes per hour, it is designed to handle large outputs efficiently. The Tetra Pak® Pneumatic Conveyor VDP FD is highly hygienic, featuring full cleanability, no contact between moving parts and product, and compliance with EHEDG recommendations. Supplier: Tetra Pak
