Complete Customized Solutions for the Handling of Powders and Solids

Vakuumförderer-Komplettlösung / vacuum conveyor as a turnkey solution with loading and dosing unloading stationWe don't just offer Conveyors! Improve your production conditions with a tailored powder handling system, engineered and built as a complete solution from one partner: Volkmann. Avoid unnecessary interfaces, intensive co-ordination work different suppliers and safety risks with critical materials.

Our customized complete solutions give you a dust free handling beginning with the emptying of all sorts of containers up to the proportioned supply of materials into production processes. We offer:

• Product loading stations for materials in bags, drums...
• Weighing and dosing systems for single components or complete recipies
• Combinations with mixers and sieves
• ...

The application picture shows a dust-free loading station for bags and small bins together with a Vacuum Conveyor, which feeds a gravimetric dosing station with Aluminium oxides. The material is given at a high accuracy into a local mixer. Inside the feeding station, the material is fluidised with Nitrogen, to improve its fluidity and lower the risk of ignitions during transportation. The feeding station has almost no residual material inside after the suction process. Operation under completely inert conditions is possible upon request.

Options: A partly automated self cleaning system is realizable depending on the transported materials. With toxic and highly effective substances the product contacting surfaces can be wetted completely with water or wash emulsion and can be prepared for more intensive cleaning. All relevant construction units can be dismantled without tools fast and cleaned simply.

More complex tasks are analysed and evaluated during a Feasibility-Study with a following risk analysis. We develop customised solutions which can be easily integrated into your production works. Teams for the assessment of explosion risks and independent consultants are available for your service.

Use our know-how for:
• planning and engineering
• Realization with one partner
• Installation and on-site service
