Automating the transportation work: Powder conveying device "LUTENA"
Effortless powder transportation without manual labor. The vacuum conveyor LUTENA realizes a labor-saving work environment.
Carrying bags for powder loading, transporting containers, cleaning spilled powder— Are you spending a lot of time and effort on powder handling tasks that have relied on manual labor until now? 'LUTENA' is an air transport powder handling device that automates such heavy labor on-site, achieving both labor-saving and environmental improvement simultaneously. By adopting a vacuum suction transport method, it allows for clean transfer of powder without contact with outside air. It not only reduces the physical burden on workers but also contributes to minimizing the risks of dust dispersion and foreign matter contamination. It features a flexible design that can accommodate various transport distances and layouts, making it easy to implement in limited spaces with its compact design. Furthermore, it supports quantitative transport through timer control and sensor linkage. By collaborating with existing equipment such as filling machines, mixing machines, and supply hoppers, it realizes automation and labor reduction for the entire line. It has been introduced in many manufacturing sites handling powders, including food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and resin processing, with reported effects such as "reduction of personnel," "shortening of work time," and "improvement of safety." From "manual transport tasks" to "processes handled by devices"— LUTENA is the key to labor-saving that supports manufacturing sites in the era of labor shortages.

Vacuum Conveyor Overview of a Simple Vacuum Conveying System The minimum configuration for a complete conveyor system requires the following three components: - Product Intake → Depending on the container holding the material to be conveyed (silo, big bag station, drum, etc.), either a "supply station" or "conveying gun" is used. - Conveying Line (Transport Pipe) → A pipeline or vacuum-compatible hose is used to transport a mixture of material and air. - Vacuum Conveyor and its Control System → The vacuum draws in the material, separating air and material with a filter. The material is collected in a tank located beneath the conveyor. Flow of Operation: 1. The material is transported through the conveying line to the vacuum conveyor by the force of the vacuum along with air. 2. After conveying for a specified time and collecting the required amount, the control system stops the vacuum, and the lower valve opens. 3. The material is supplied to its final destination (e.g., container or product on a belt conveyor).

"Function of the Vacuum Conveyor" → During Transport (Vacuum State) - The lower valve is closed, the vacuum pump operates, and a vacuum is generated inside the housing. - Materials are suctioned through the pipeline and accumulate above the valve of the collection tank. - Some of the suctioned materials adhere to the filter located at the top of the housing. - Simultaneously, a pressurized state (overpressure) occurs in the backwash tank (compressed air tank) connected to each filter. → Discharge and Filter Cleaning - When the set transport time is completed, the vacuum pump stops. - The lower valve opens, and the collected materials are discharged downward. - At the same time, the filters are backwashed (reverse flow cleaning) with compressed air from the AirShock tank. - After that, the valve closes again, and the next cycle begins.
