Ultra-hygienic vacuum conveyor for pharmaceutical and food industries

Streamline material handling with this ultra-hygienic vacuum conveyor that efficiently transfers powders while minimizing contamination risk, ideal for high-purity production environments.

Conveys and Transfers Powders Efficiently

The Uni-Vac V-Series V100 from Hanningfield Process Systems is a vacuum conveyor system tailored for ultra-hygienic applications. Its seamless design features a rolled and seam welded hopper body, eliminating welds to reduce contamination risk, while supporting easy dismantling and cleaning with clamp assemblies. It efficiently handles powders across multiple industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemical production, delivering up to 4000 kgs/hr throughput. The V100 operates without compressed air, relying on an electric pump for air flow—a design that not only simplifies installation but also enhances energy efficiency. Its 316L stainless steel contact parts ensure excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for sensitive applications. Customization options allow adaptation to specific production requirements, such as variable hopper sizes and configurations. The V100 complies with GMP standards, aligning with stringent quality expectations in highly regulated sectors.
