VAC-U-MAX Mobile Conveying System Food Grade

APPLICATION:
Application requires transfer of dry, semi-free flowing
powders / food ingredients via adjustable suction wand,
where operator uses wand to introduce product to the
vacuum system. System is designed on a rolling mobile
frame for ease-of-mobility between tanks. Mobile frame
incorporates the largest pump size (7.5Hp). The Mobile
Vacuum Convey System is sized to transfer product / food
ingredients at a rate up to 4,000 lbs./hr., the highest rate
3
allowed for the system to remain below the 8ft threshold
where NFPA protection is not required for combustible dusts.
Further testing concluded rates approaching 7,000 lbs./hr.
with results varying based on product/material conveyed and
use of suction wand. System draws food ingredients into a
VAC-U-MAX Receiver operating on a timed cycle, up to
3
approximately 1.5 ft . With discharge valve open, vacuum
sequencing halts, allowing product to fall via gravity into the
process below. Filters are pulse cleaned, valve closes, and
process repeats until operator turns the system off at the
control panel. System has built in manual hoist for up and Mobile Convey System Overview:
