Vacuum Transfer Systems

Vacuum transfer systems are an excellent method of moving powder, granules, pellets and other materials from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’.

Example Uni-Vac Application: Feeding a Tablet Press

The systems use a vacuum to carry the material through the pipework, allowing material to be transferred in a gentle, yet rapid manner. This allows up to 4,000 kgs/hr to be transported, without significant disturbance to the characteristics of the product.

Vacuum Transfer of Pharmaceutical Powders

Vacuum transfer is an automated method of transporting material from Point A to Point B of a process, such as sucking powder directly from an IBC and transporting it to a hopper which will then load a tablet press.

This automated system negates the need for manual handling whilst offering increased throughput and safety.

‘Uni-Vac’ Conveyor Systems

Vacuum conveying is one of the most popular methods of material transfer.

The Uni-Vac vacuum conveyor can help automate the transfer of powder, granules, pellets and flakes - eliminating the need for manual handling, whilst dramatically improving productivity.

Vacuum Transfer Equipment for Food Processing

The food processing industry involves the handling of powders, granules, pellets and other food stuffs.

Vacuum transfer equipment can overcome many of the problems posed by the manual handling of material, such as dust containment and contamination issues.  Moreover, the vacuum transfer of material can vastly improve productivity by significantly increasing throughput.

Powder Handling Equipment

Powder handling equipment is vital to the productivity and hygiene requirements of the pharmaceutical, food and allied industries.

Powder handling through vacuum transfer can significantly increase productivity through the automation of manual tasks such as IBC loading or tablet press loading.  Meanwhile, the fully contained transfer system helps maintain the integrity of the product, whilst eliminating waste and operator exposure to dust.

    NEW - PROCESS MACHINE RENTAL

    Do you need process equipment, but your budget doesn’t allow for it?  Perhaps Hanningfield Process Systems can help.

            

    Many businesses today find that renting equipment and machinery is often more affordable than purchasing, especially if they are not in need of the equipment for long periods of time. There are occasions in which a company may only need the equipment for a short time, such as to fulfill an urgent order or as temporary back-up for an existing system. If either is the case, there is no need to buy, especially when the cost of renting may never reach the cost of buying. 

    It also means that you can free up working capital for use in other areas of your business and you don’t need to take out large loans to pay for it.

    We  offer a comprehensive range of process equipment  for rental which will perform at optimum efficiency and provide valuable benefits;

    Uni-Mill, Cone Mill with a range of screens for milling a wide variety of products

    Uni-Vac, Vacuum Transfer System which is a safe, practical and dust free method of conveying powder, granules and flakes without waste

    Uni-Dust, Product Recovery Cyclone, which offers the ultimate solution to the containment of waste powders from many powder filling processes

    Sure-Press, Single Punch Tablet Press for small scale tablet production

    Since 1987 Hanningfield Process Systems has built a high level of customer trust and satisfaction through the quality of our equipment, reliability, premium service, and unparalleled value.
