Powder locks for safe bulk material handling
When handling bulk materials, it’s critical to ensure that no hazardous substances escape during the transfer process. Traditional methods often struggle with maintaining an inert atmosphere and preventing cross-contamination, especially in sensitive environments.

Ensure safe, contamination-free material transfer
The Volkmann powder lock is designed to securely transfer powders and bulk materials while preventing exposure to hazardous substances. By using a purging system with inert gas (such as Nitrogen), the powder lock ensures that no oxygen or other unwanted gases enter the container, maintaining a controlled environment. The powder lock can be seamlessly integrated with Volkmann’s VS and PPC series vacuum conveyors, creating a compact and efficient solution for material handling. It can also be tailored to pressure requirements, available in pressure shock-resistant versions up to 10 bar and pressure-resistant versions up to 6 bar. This makes it suitable for filling containers under overpressure while maintaining safety and efficiency.
