High efficiency powder pneumatic vacuum conveying system

Chiyu’s Vacuum Conveyors can transport numerous granulated bulk materials, small parts, powders, and pigments under vacuum in lean and dense phase through hoses and pipes. They are easy to install and quite simple to operate. By using vacuum these systems can keep the production environment clean.

Due to constant development and improvement in technology, removal of explosion risks and with a focus on good hygienic solutions, Vacuum Conveyors today are a preferred choice in many industries. They can transfer nano-sized material and fine dust with particles size from 0,1 µm up to bigger sized tablets, sweets, or bottle caps, for example. They are good for highly abrasive powders, mixtures, light filling materials (such as fumed silica with a bulk density of only 0,05 kg/l), but also work well with metal powders which can have bulk densities of up to 10 kg/l.

They can make all powder handling in production processes safe and reliable, making the work of operators easier and improving the conditions in the workplace: choose Vacuum Conveying systems from Chiyu company.

Vacuum conveyor variants for different tasks

The heart of a vacuum conveyor system is the vacuum conveyor. Our modular series are available in different sizes and thus cover a wide performance spectrum. At the same time, requirements such as hygienic design or pressure shock resistance can also be met.

Pickup, Transfer and Loading of Machines with Bulk Materials

user friendly systems with safe material transfer

easy material pickup and dust-free loading of machines

gentle dense phase conveying, no segregation of material mixtures

optimum hygienic conditions

reliable filter systems in GMP quality

simple to install and to operate

low energy consumption

favourable investment- and operating costs

product contact parts are 316L Stainless Steel or FDA approved soft parts

Suitable for the Chemical, Pharma and Food industries (amongst others), our modular designed Vacuum Conveyors offer an easily customisable solution to match each individual application. Even critical materials can be conveyed safely, and modified conveyors can be used for hazardous applications, such as inside explosion risk areas or with highly toxic materials.

Our modular design allows for quick dispatch times for complete standard conveyors (approximately 1-2 weeks for Food-/Chemical-Conveyors, 3-4 weeks for Pharma Conveyors, 4-8 weeks for highly customized systems).

Conveying capacities: 100 kg/h up to 3.5 t/h (with a possible maximum of about 12 t/h)

Conveying distance will affect the achievable transfer rate and have been seen to vary from as little as a few meters up to 100m (with total lift of 40m).

We offer conveying trials and demonstrations on-site or in our test facility. With any query we analyse your material handling task, along with any special requirements, to convey your products. We want you to be sure, that the required capacity is reached, that your product is not affected in an unacceptable way by the transportation and convince you of the stability of the vacuum conveying process provided by Volkmann Conveyors.

Using Scope

Chocolates, cookies, chips and coffee but also certain chemicals — the vacuum conveyor handles all. Suitable for vacuum conveying of food, but also chemicals that do not require the use of full acid resistant stainless steel, Chiyu’s new design is a premium heavy-duty vacuum conveyor.
Using the same design as the company’s premium range conveyors, but in electropolished stainless steel (ASTM 304) rather than the acid resistant grade (ASTM 316L), chiyu serves manufacturers of, for instance, confectionary and baking goods, snacks, tea and coffee, pet food, nutraceuticals, detergents and batteries.
Like all chiyu’s conveyors, chiyu offers a fully contained unit that enables toxic and allergenic powders to be transported without the risk of operators and the surrounding work environment being exposed to hazardous materials.
chiyu’s unique technology, used throughout the conveyor range, ensures that vacuum is created in the most energy and cost-effective way possible, and is only used when the pump is running. Automatic filter cleaning and an overall hygienic design make easy to clean and requiring minimal maintenance. The conveyor complies with contact requirements according to FDA, EC No 1935/2004 and EC No 10/2011.
Available in a wide capacity range from 3 to 33 liters per conveying cycle, up to 8 tons per hour, it offers high throughput with a small footprint.
