Vacuum conveyor for hygienic material transfer

For operations demanding swift, dust-free material handling, this solution automates and streamlines the transfer process, reducing manual intervention and ensuring the high purity essential for quality end-product outcomes.

Automates Material Conveyance and Transfer

The Uni-Vac V30 from Hanningfield is an ultra-hygienic vacuum conveyor crafted for efficient material handling across diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals and food processing. Its seam-welded hopper, customizable and free of crevices, ensures fast cleaning and minimal contamination risk, vital for maintaining product integrity in GMP environments. Operating without compressed air, this electric pump-driven unit supports continuous operation with a throughput of up to 2000 kgs/hr, making it ideal for high-speed production lines. The V30 integrates seamlessly into existing setups for operations like conveying, loading, and unloading powders and granules. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, the unit offers excellent corrosion resistance and meets stringent industry standards. Additionally, its clamp assembly allows easy disassembly for maintenance, while sloped hopper sides maximize capacity without increasing height, offering a tailored fit for your facility’s needs.
