Explore the cost-saving benefits of Hapman’s innovative regenerative blower technology in vacuum conveyors, offering versatility and compact installation for swift material delivery.
Efficient material movement across various industries.
A vacuum conveyor is a type of pneumatic conveying system that uses a vacuum to move bulk materials such as powders, granules, and other dry materials through an enclosed pipeline. By creating a pressure difference, the conveyor gently pulls the materials from one location to another, ensuring a dust-free and hygienic transfer process.
These conveyors are widely used in industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals due to their ability to maintain high sanitary standards and prevent contamination. They are also known for their compact, space-saving design, flexible installation options, and efficient material transfer capabilities.
Benefits of Using a Vacuum Conveyor
► Hygienic and Dust-Free Operation: The sealed system prevents contamination and minimizes dust emissions, promoting a clean and safe work environment.
► Space Efficiency: Vacuum systems boast a minimal footprint, integrating seamlessly even when space is at a premium. They deftly navigate intricate facility layouts and vertical lifts, ensuring maximum installation flexibility without a major overhaul.
► Versatility: Ideal for conveying a wide range of materials, including food products and plastic pellets, with gentle handling to protect product integrity.
► Low Maintenance and Operational Efficiency: With tool-less filter removal and a strategically placed access door, filter changeouts are quick and hassle-free, keeping your material moving smoothly and reducing costly downtime.
Models
MiniVac
Dilute phase vacuum introduces material into a high velocity air stream.
The vacuum conveyor moves material vertically, horizontally, around corners, on multiple levels and long distances with minimal operator attention or maintenance.
Available in 304 and 316 stainless steel or carbon steel
LP Series
Designed for tight spaces where other filter/receivers cannot fit.
Offers conveyance rates up to 90 cubic feet per hour.
E-Line
Designed to protect your people and equipment from dust explosions.
Filter/Receiver rated for pressures up to 14.5 psi, allowing it to be used with explosion venting or suppression systems.
Options
Dump Gates
Adjustable timer is built into the control panel providing intermittent refilling. Designed for shorter distances.
Rotary Valves
Provides continuous flow which can maximize capacity and convey greater distances as well as minimize the chance of material buildup due to starting and stopping.
Slide Gates
Allows for quick discharge for feeder refilling or when head room will not allow for a rotary valve.
Inlet Methods
Manual Wand Inlet (pictured) – Designed to be inserted into a drum or box and still draw air from above in order for system to maintain proper air : material ratio.
Blo-thru Inlet – Designed for metering into the system.
Flooded well Inlet – Designed for a small surge of material. The design allows an air intake so material is not choke fed.
Controls
Our in-house engineering team and panel shop supply standard configurations as well as custom packages for automation process optimization.
