Vacuum conveyor for the food industry Vakupulse

Overview
Vakupulse is a dense-phase vacuum conveying system designed to transport materials at low speed using plug conveying. The system preserves granule integrity and minimises pipe wear for abrasive, highly filled and soft/delicate materials, with a capacity range adapted to industrial processes.

Key benefits

• No degradation of soft or delicate materials during conveying
• Minimised abrasion and wear of process piping
• Low noise emission and reduced energy consumption

System description
The system is based on a vacuum receiver and a vacuum claw pump. Combined with a specifically shaped product intake shoe and a controlled breath valve, material is conveyed gently in plugs to the receiver, ensuring low transport speed and controlled flow.

Performance
Capacity range: 100–15,000 kg/h. Typical transport speed: approx. 2/3 m/s, which contributes to lower energy consumption and reduced noise compared with high-speed pneumatic systems.

Suitable materials

• Abrasive materials (e.g. glass-fiber-filled compounds)
• High-filler formulations
• Soft or delicate products (e.g. EVA, PE)

Suitable sectors

• Biscuits
• Chocolate
• Caramel
• Creams
