Quick, Clean & Automated Refill of Single, Twin Screw, Vibratory and Belt Feeders
VAC-U-MAX Vacuum Conveying Systems offer the quickest and cleanest option for refilling loss-in-weight feeders for batch and continuous processes, and easily integrated into volumetric feeder refill applications. The “keep full” operation of the VAC-U-MAX receiver meters material to the feeder below by immediately discharging material into the hopper when the feeder reaches a low-level signal. Refill process occurs in seconds, with the VAC-U-MAX receiver always maintaining a charge of material ready for dispensing into the feeder. Sanitary designs ideal for applications in the food, pharma and packaging industries. Stop by booth 1316 to preview a “vacuum conveying feeder refill” demonstration.

Processing Mobility with Mobile Vacuum Conveying Systems
VAC-U-MAX Mobile Vacuum Conveying Systems offer ease-of-mobility for applications requiring access to tanks or other hard-to-reach processing areas. System incorporates an adjustable suction wand where operator introduces product to the vacuum system. Mobile frame incorporates the vacuum producer, conveying product up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) per hour and beyond. Vacuum receiver is manually hoisted for easy up-and-down mobility, to a height of at least 91” (231 cm) at the discharge point, or down to operator level for easy disassembly, cleaning and transport. Vacuum receiver includes replaceable inlet assemblies, easy access to filters, pulse filter cleaning, and full opening discharge valves. Vacuum power source includes air-powered venturi system, regenerative blower package, or positive displacement vacuum pump. Control panel is mounted on the rolling frame and handles the convey, discharge and filter cleaning functions of the system.  All Mobile Vacuum Conveying System are USDA-accepted in stainless steel, and available in carbon steel. All receivers meet the rigid requirements of the food and pharm industries. Stop by booth 1316 for a demonstration.

NFPA-Compliant & ATEX Approved Industrial Vacuum Cleaning Systems
VAC-U-MAX product line includes a full range of portable and central industrial vacuum cleaning units and central systems, engineered for specific applications that address issues like worker exposure to dusts, chemical compatibility, flammability, and combustibility. An expert at combustible dust handling, VAC-U-MAX industrial vacuum cleaning systems are available for a wide range of applications for Class I or Class II processing environments.
