With this transfer unit, first the respective powders, granules and other bulk materials to be packed are safely transported by vacuum and is then used to supply the packaging and filling process on demand. The result is an interactive, enclosed transfer system, which is also suitable for pellets, capsules or tablets. This conveying method has considerable advantages over conventional, old fashioned, mechanical transport technologies. Apart from supplying packaging lines, Vacuum Conveyors safely load tablet-presses, capsules-filling machines or any other kind of process equipment or vessel (containers, silos etc.) (Fig. 2).
Conveyable bulk materials even include difficult and sensitive powders. The cyclic vacuum-plug-flow conveying set up usually results in no product separation or segregation. When introducing small amounts of powders into the system either manual suction lances or feeding hoppers are used. For larger quantities bag rip & tip stations or big-bag unloading devices are more common. In addition, the available ATEX certificates for all Multijector‚-Vacuum-Conveyors make them the perfect choice for potential EX areas (powders and gasses) and with that they are unique in the European market.
If pipe diverter valves are integrated in the conveying line, for example, the powders can be collected from a single storage silo and can be transferred to several filling machines. On the other hand, the raw materials can be fed into the vacuum transfer system from various locations and afterwards load one central mixer. There are countless combinations possible. An extensive record of successfully conveyed materials ranging from A for Activated Carbon to Z for Zeolithe is available on request.

New Vacuum Conveyors
Interpack 2005, Hall 5, Booth No. 5C25
Effective Powder and Granule Supply
New Vacuum Conveyors make packaging machine loading safe
VOLKMANN Vakuum Technik
During the planning and improvement of filling and packaging lines the questions occurs of how to optimise the material flow. Nowadays, the product flow downstream of the packaging unit is highly automised, however, the supply side often shows weakness. At this year’s Interpack, the market leader will launch a new loading system, which combines the advanced Multijector‚ -Vacuum Conveyors (Fig. 1) with a level controlled buffer hopper.
