Vacuum conveying is an efficient solution that transfers powders, granules and similar materials. Material can be conveyed vertically or horizontally to and from process machines. Vacuum transfer systems use a ‘lean phase’ design where a high ratio of entrained air in the product line suspends the material through the conveying pipework.
The easy clean design which completely contains the product during transfer for a dust free environment makes it ideal for hygienic applications. The system is easy to use, easy to clean and provides excellent rates of efficiency to optimise your process.
Hanningfield has many reference sites in the pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries. We can also supply ATEX (ex-proof) versions of the Uni-Vac system.
Benefits of the Hanningfield Vacuum Transfer System
Quick Transfer & Reduced Manual Handling
Powder Transfer Systems remove the need for operators to manually load process machines and handle heavy equipment such as drums, bags and other containers. This accelerates the loading process while reducing manual handling and operator fatigue.
As process machines are not manually fed, this also eliminates other common problems associated with loading, such as powder spillage and airborne dust.
Dust Free Environment
Powder containment is a key concern in manufacturing plants and the conveying system is designed to be completely contained. The dust-tight system improves operator working environment and reduces the risk of product contamination.
Hygienic, Easy Clean Design
Designed for hygienic applications, such as pharmaceutical, food and chemical processing, the Powder Transfer System has crevice free surfaces to ensure powders and material does not get trapped. Its stainless steel construction with FDA compliant seals also makes it perfect for sanitary applications.
The system boasts an easy clean design. All connections are ‘quick-release’ so the system can be disassembled for cleaning without the need for tools. This makes turn-around times between batches as quick as possible and minimises downtime.
