Vacuum Conveying System Offers Quick Air Velocity Changes to Accommodate Wide Range of Materials

Volkmann VS Conveyors Adjust Easily for Sensitive Materials

Bristol, PA: The Volkmann VS pneumatic vacuum conveying system from process equipment manufacturer Volkmann USA, Bristol, PA (https://www.volkmannusa.com) features a series of quick adjustments that allow the air velocity to be increased or decreased to accommodate the requirements of a wide range of powders, pellets, granules, and other bulk materials. Adjusted in seconds without tools for fast product changeovers, the conveyor enables the air pressure to be changed at the vacuum pump and/or at the pickup point to raise or lower the conveying air velocity based on the material properties such as the particle size and shape, bulk density, stickiness, and the desired throughput rate. Sensitive materials are transferred safely without degradation while mixtures and blends remain mixed and blended in the required proportions.

Ideal for food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and nutritional product manufacturers, as well as for contract packaging and processing companies that change products frequently, the Volkmann vacuum conveyors are typically adjusted between batches or on the fly via the company’s proprietary controller. The automated instrumentation ensures the required operating parameters are adjusted to the correct settings every time.

The versatile pneumatic vacuum conveying system may be tested in the company’s Bristol, PA test facility. Testing may be viewed live on-site or streamed live online.
