Pneumatic Conveying for Flexible Feeding of Process Machines
The reliable feeding of powders and granules into reactors, dissolvers, and mixers places high demands on the raw material supply. The AZO suction-cycle system and the PPV conveyor enable pneumatic conveying from various containers. This allows even smaller batches to be flexibly prepared for the next process step.
Quick product changeover and easy cleaning
When changing raw materials or colors, every minute of downtime counts. The suction-cycle system features a separator that can be removed without tools and connections that are easy to disconnect. This allows the separator to be changed quickly, and its individual parts can be easily cleaned. Washable filters and the large filter surface area of the AZO SINBRAN® sintered filter cartridges support the cleaning and separation of the product.
The PPV conveyor is also designed for quick disassembly and cleaning. The compact stainless steel housing and low profile make it easy to handle during maintenance and cleaning.
A demand-driven supply of raw materials with low energy consumption
The PPV conveyor generates the required vacuum using a pneumatically operated vacuum nozzle and requires no other form of energy besides compressed air. An integrated level monitoring system detects material demand and automatically triggers a new conveying cycle when necessary. This ensures that material feeding is organized according to demand and reduces the need for manual intervention in the conveying process.
Reliable Conveying for Various Applications
The high material loading capacity combined with a low conveying speed makes the suction-cycle system suitable for conveying powders and granules. Both systems are equipped with filters designed specifically for the product to separate the conveyed material. The PPV conveyor requires no electrical power at the unit or at the control system and can therefore also be used in areas at risk of dust explosions. The suction-cycle system can be configured for use in areas at risk of explosions by introducing an inert gas.
Compact design for flexible integration
The compact design of both systems facilitates integration into existing production environments. The suction-cycle system consolidates power connections and drives in a separate media column. In the PPV conveyor, the vacuum generator, separator, and control unit are arranged in a space-saving configuration. This allows for the implementation of various feeding tasks using conveyor solutions tailored to the specific application.
