Pneumatic conveying by vacuum is a popular method of transfer for the loading of blenders in the pharmaceutical, health product, food and nutraceutical industries. One of the distinct advantages of vacuum systems is the inward suction created by the vacuum source and resulting reduction of any outward leakage of dust which may occur in pressure conveying systems.
* Most Vacuum Conveying System transfer product based on a timed interval to the vacuum receiver.
* It avoids dust and cross contamination
* Pneumatic Vacuum conveying systems can provide a number of advantages over other conveying systems including:
1. Lower required maintenance.
* pneumatic Vacuum conveyors have fewer moving parts and typically require less maintenance.
2. Increased safety.
* With fewer moving parts and less required maintenance, pneumatic conveying systems present less danger to operators and maintenance workers.
3. Less spillage and dust leakage.
* Pneumatic Vacuum conveying systems transport product through an enclosed pipeline, which contains product and dust.
4. Better sanitation.
* Since pneumatic Vacuum conveying systems have an enclosed pipeline, the risk of product contamination is greatly reduced and the plant remains cleaner as well. Piping can be CIP/WIP cleaned and dried (by using compressed air).
5. Enhanced flexibility.
* Pneumatic Vacuum conveying systems can be custom designed to fit around existing powder processing equipment, not only taking up less space than mechanical conveying systems but also providing more flexibility. Multiple infeed and destinations points, as well as longer conveying distances are possible.
