Custom Project: Highly Specialised Vacuum Transfer System

Bespoke designs are sometimes necessary to address a specific set of process issues. At Hanningfield, we have almost forty years experience in providing our customers with solutions to their powder handling challenges. We also understand that new equipment is often retrofitted to an existing process line and needs to be compatible with current equipment, room restrictions and factory layout. We recently manufactured this highly specialised vacuum transfer system for a customer requiring a more bespoke solution.

The Hanningfield Uni-Vac is designed to automate and accelerate your powder transfer and loading processes. Providing dust-tight conveying of material from A to B, the unit easily integrates with other process machinery, and eliminates manual handling while increasing productivity and reducing material loss. 

This recent project for a leading pharmaceutical customer involved designing a vacuum transfer system to meet a specific set of process requirements. The design was fully ATEX compliant as per the customer’s request. The system also featured the vac mounted on a mobile frame with raise/lower functionality for ease of manoeuvrability.  A buffer hopper was included on the outlet with level sensor and a dosing valve for weigh scale integration. The design also included a BFM breather filter. 

This highly specialised vacuum transfer system is another great example of how we are able to work alongside our customers to deliver machines tailored to their exact needs.
