Technical Description

Design & Operation
Hanningfield Uni-Vac vacuum conveyors are designed as a safe and convenient method for transferring powder. The system utilises a combination of vacuum and air (known as ‘Lean-Phase’ or ‘Dilute-Phase’) to transport powders, granules and other material.

The dust-tight sealed system prevents material contamination during the transfer process, while protecting the operator, process and environment from product exposure or accidental spillage (thereby minimising waste).

Choose the Right System for You
To find out what vacuum conveying system is best for you, complete our Vacuum Conveying RFQ below and we’ll send you a quote for the correct system.

Uni-Vac VC-Series
This is our standard vacuum conveying system which is suited for the majority of process applications. It is also the best choice for ATEX environments.

Uni-Vac V-Series
If you are looking for a conveying solution that does not require compressed air to operate, then the V-Series is right for you. It is also the better option for process rooms with height restrictions.

Typical Applications

Vacuum Transfer from Drum to Process Machine

The vacuum conveyor sucks material from the ground floor drum and up into the Uni-Vac hopper. Once full, the outlet valve opens and discharges the material into the machine.

Vacuum Transfer into a High Shear Mixer

Vacuum conveyors can be used as a dust-tight method to transfer powder from ground floor level into a high shear mixer.

In-Line Vacuum Milling

In-line vacuum transfer through an over-driven conical mill for achieving automated, dust-tight milling (same process can be achieved with an under-driven conical mill).

In-Line Vacuum Sieving

Vacuum conveying can be used to transfer material through a sieve into a downstream process or container.

Vacuum Transfer into a Vessel

Vacuum conveying can be used to transfer material from a ground-floor drum into a vessel or tank (with modifications this can be made suitable for pressurised vessels).

Unloading a Fluid Bed Dryer

Vacuum conveying can be used to transfer material from a fluid bed dryer after the drying process is complete (shown here with an optional in-line mill for improved PSD).
