Powder flow control system for gravity transfer
Ensure precise dosing and prevent spillage during powder transfers in your processing line with an integrated control system, designed to sustain optimal flow and maintain equipment efficiency.
Controls and Regulates Powder Flow
The Powder Flow Control System from Hanningfield is specifically designed to manage the precise flow and dosing of powders in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to nutraceuticals and chemicals. It features a rotary valve system that facilitates continuous and automated operation, ensuring seamless powder transfers with minimal risk of spillage or overloading. Its ability to integrate with existing site machinery enhances control, as level sensors automate powder flow management, activating only when needed to prevent material excess.
Primarily used in applications involving tablets, vitamin supplements, APIs, and cannabis products, the system supports efficient processing by maintaining an optimal flow rate of powders, critical for processes like compression and encapsulation. Constructed with 316L stainless steel and FDA-compliant seals, it meets strict industry standards for hygiene and safety, making it suitable for sectors demanding high compliance and reliability, such as pharmaceuticals and food and beverage production.
The system is also equipped for easy cleaning and maintenance, with tri-clover clamps allowing for quick disassembly. Customizable features like level probes, breather socks, and sampling ports offer additional flexibility to tailor the system to specific operational requirements, ensuring a perfect fit within diverse processing lines.
