Accessories

Volkmann designs and manufactures a range of auxiliary equipment for pneumatic vacuum conveying to accommodate nearly any powder processing and bulk material handling requirements. Safety post hoists, lump breakers, suction wands, and other accessories are available to supplement and customize each conveyor installation.

VOLKMANN Accessory Products:

Hoists and Trolleys

When pneumatic vacuum conveyors need to be positioned at height above the discharge location, the Volkmann line of mobile trolleys and stationary (post) hoists enable an operator to automatically raise, lower, and move the receiver for safe, easy access.

Ladders, mezzanines and other equipment are eliminated in favor of a safe, ergonomic approach.

Lump Breakers

Volkmann lump breakers automatically remove agglomerates and help restore proper particle size to powders and other bulk materials during discharge from bags, sacks, or storage for smooth conveying downstream.

Specify this size reduction equipment on companion Volkmann RNT and BBU bag unloaders and sack tipping stations or install it later with our retrofit kit.

MULTIJECTOR Vacuum Pumps

Volkmann MULTIJECTOR vacuum pumps are compressed air driven multi-stage venturi-based systems that deliver high levels of suction with high efficiency yet with minimal air consumption.

These renowned vacuum pumps form the foundation for Volkmann pneumatic vacuum conveying systems, permitting plug flow, dense phase, and lean – dilute phase conveying in the same installation.

Suction Wands

Volkmann suction wands for pneumatic vacuum conveying systems enable one worker to quickly and easily transfer powders and other bulk materials from barrels, drums, and Gaylords into the conveyor system.

These wands or lances are offered in several different configurations based on the material properties for a powerful vacuum pickup action without nuisance dust.
