Sanitary bulk solids receiver for food and pharma
Ensure precise control over bulk solid transfer with a system designed to meet stringent sanitary requirements, ideal for handling sensitive food and pharmaceutical ingredients.
Conveys and Refills Bulk Solids in Sanitary Settings
The P-Series Receivers from Coperion K-Tron are engineered to convey and refill bulk solids in highly regulated sanitary environments. Constructed from stainless steel (DIN 1.4404, AISI 316L), these receivers meet cGMP standards and include only FDA-approved materials, making them ideal for applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. With models handling up to 4,000 kg/hr, the P-Series supports both gain-in-weight and loss-in-weight feeder systems. Its rugged, modular design integrates seamlessly into central vacuum conveying systems, with automatic reverse jet cleaning ensuring minimal downtime. Available in bead blast, satin, or mirror polish finishes, these receivers offer steep cone angles for efficient discharge, complying with NEC and ATEX standards to meet diverse operational needs across various industries.
