Vacuum Conveyor For Pharmaceutical Powders: Uni-Vac V10
The Uni-Vac V10 features a hygienic 10 litre capacity conical hopper, enabling throughputs up to 900 kgs/hr (subject to application specifics, figure based upon a typical pharmaceutical powder with bulk density of ~0.6g/cm3).
The overall hopper height is 1000mm, with a 450mm diameter and is designed to accommodate a 1.5″ product hose. The outlet valve can be configured according to application; typically a positive-action flap valve, butterfly valve or rotary valve. The unit features a GMP design and is assembled using quick-release clamps, enabling fast and easy dismantling for cleaning.
As standard, the V10 vacuum conveyors utilise a 3.0kW vacuum pump (which may be up-sized subject to convey distance). In certain circumstances, this can be substituted for a compressed-air vacuum generator (Venturi type) or alternative vacuum method.
The unit can be supplied with filter bags, cartridge filters or long-life stainless steel cartridge filters. During operation (between convey cycles), filter bags are cleaned via a bag-shaker method, while cartridge filters are cleaned via a backwash valve.
Contact parts are manufactured from 316L stainless steel (180 grit), with FDA compliant seals, gaskets etc. Non-contact parts such as support brackets are manufactured from 304 stainless steel (150 grit). All standard materials of construction and surface finishes can be upgraded or downgraded upon request.
