Product Description
Upflow vacuum feeder, also known as a vacuum conveyor or vacuum feeding machine, is a highly efficient, dust-free, and fully enclosed powder conveying equipment. It utilizes a vacuum pump or vacuum generator to create negative pressure for transferring powder or granular materials. This industrial vacuum conveyor improves cleanliness, protects the working environment, and reduces contamination risks.
As a reliable powder suction feeder, it is suitable for conveying materials over both short and long distances, making it an ideal long-distance conveyor. Its movable vacuum feeder design allows for flexible placement and high adaptability in various industrial scenarios.
We offer a full range of vacuum conveyors, including stationary and movable vacuum feeders, available in stainless steel 304 or 316L.
Application Field
Widely used in the automatic bag unloading of dry powdered and granular materials in the fields of food, medicine, chemical industry, metallurgy, new materials, etc., such as nitrate lime, magnesium oxide, quartz sand, limestone, sawdust, activated carbon, PVC powder, fly ash, and more. Pneumatic conveying systems are ideal for these applications, ensuring smooth, efficient material transfer over both short and long distances.
Product Features
Small footprint, high space utilization: Due to pneumatic transport and pipeline conveying, even a very small space can be completed, and it is not limited by the distance, making the working space beautiful and generous.
Sealed, dust-free, and more environmentally friendly: The whole process is transported in a closed environment, utilizing vacuum conveying systems that reduce dust and contamination, greatly improving the working environment and material handling.
Simple operation and easy maintenance: With few mechanical transmission parts, the system is easy to maintain and has a long service life. No manual handling is required, saving labor costs. Pneumatic conveying equipment is designed for durability, minimizing downtime.
Safe, convenient, and efficient: It adopts vacuum drive, which is safe and explosion-proof, ideal for various industrial environments. One device can be used in turn on multiple sets of equipment, improving work efficiency. This system can be easily integrated into powder conveying systems, providing a complete material handling solution.
Customized design: According to the characteristics of the material, we offer pneumatic vacuum conveyors and tailored powder transport systems that provide a comprehensive solution for unloading, transportation, and packaging.
Detailed Process
The vacuum feeder uses a vacuum generator or electric fan as a vacuum source. The pressure difference between the vacuum and the ambient space creates a gas flow in the pipeline, driving the movement of powder and granular materials, and completing the powder transportation.
Equipment installation: The material conveying pipeline is connected to the feeding equipment, the vacuum pipeline is connected to the vacuum source, and the vacuum feeder is connected to the storage equipment.
Start the feeder: After the material is sucked into the feeder under the action of vacuum, it is separated by the filter element in the bin body, filtered by air, and temporarily stored in the bin. After the suction time is reached, the discharge valve is opened, and the material is released into the storage device.
Automatic control: The suction time and discharge time can be controlled by the PLC program, and the feeder is equipped with a filter element and backflush system. The filter element will be sprayed in each cycle to prevent blockage. The backflush time can also be controlled by PLC to save labor costs.
Additional Features
Dense phase conveying system: This system is ideal for transporting powder and granular materials with minimal air consumption, offering higher efficiency and reliability.
Reactor charging system: Our system can be easily integrated with reactor charging systems for precise, safe, and efficient powder transfer into reactors.
