Pneumatic conveyor for fragile powders

Conveys and Handles Fragile Powders and Granules

The Tetra Pak® VDP FD Pneumatic Dense Phase Conveyor is a sophisticated solution engineered for seamless integration into food and beverage processing lines. This pneumatic conveyor is designed to gently transfer fragile powders and granulated ingredients, minimizing product breakdown and maintaining product integrity. The system operates with a vacuum dense-phase method, which ensures both continuous and batch processing capabilities. With a throughput of up to 7 tonnes per hour, this conveyor handles a range of applications, including milk powder, cheese powder, and almond milk powder production.

What sets the Tetra Pak® VDP FD apart is its hygienic design, featuring a fully dismountable filter and an air-pulsion reverse jet cleaning system, adhering to EHEDG recommendations and food safety certifications. The conveyor’s high negative pressure allows for high product concentration at reduced compressed air consumption, optimizing energy efficiency. Moreover, the equipment can manage high air volumes, facilitated by a 5m² filter surface with PE and PTFE coatings, reducing total cost of ownership by cutting product waste during transport by up to 50%.

Engineered for operational safety, the conveyor includes explosion-proof features and ergonomic access at standing height, ensuring a secure working environment. Its adaptability across various industries, from dairy to plant-based products, coupled with customization options, supports diverse production needs, promoting efficient, high-capacity operations.
