A vacuum conveyor, also known as a pneumatic vacuum conveyor or a vacuum transfer system, is a type of material handling equipment that uses vacuum technology to move bulk materials from one location to another. In a vacuum conveyor system, a vacuum pump creates a negative pressure or vacuum within a closed pipeline or conveyor tube. This vacuum effectively pulls or sucks the material into the conveyor system, allowing it to be transported to the desired destination. The material is typically conveyed in a dilute phase, suspended within the airflow generated by the vacuum. Vacuum conveyors are commonly used for transporting powders, granules, and other dry bulk materials in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. They offer several advantages, including gentle handling of fragile materials, dust-free operation, and the ability to convey materials over long distances and through complex routes. Additionally, vacuum conveyors are often easy to clean and sanitize, making them suitable for use in hygienic environments. Overall, vacuum conveyors are versatile and efficient solutions for transferring bulk materials in a wide range of industrial applications.
