Powder transportation (vacuum) and weighing/filling (salt, sugar, etc.) in food manufacturing.
With a track record of 4,000 units domestically and over 2,000 product tests, the top brand in powder transport equipment (air transport devices) is VOLKMANN!
We received a request from a customer to transport ingredients for baked goods such as sugar, salt, starch, and flour in a sealed structure. A transport capacity of 1,000 kg/h and an input accuracy of less than 1% are required. To achieve this, we designed a supply hopper with dust collection functionality for six ingredients. Depending on the characteristics of the materials, it is equipped with bridge breakers, mixing devices, and fluidization devices. From the above hopper, the ingredients are transported to a central large hopper via six vacuum conveyors. Below the vacuum conveyors, Volkmann vibrating feeders are installed. These can fill in gram units. To optimize valuable production time, we designed a system that supplies all six different ingredients to the large hopper simultaneously. *If you are considering not only transportation but also weighing and filling, or if you are struggling with design, please feel free to contact us!!

Applications/Examples of results
【Transport Examples】 - We are constantly updating a database of over 2,000 tested powders and granular materials, including chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, dyes, metal powders, and plastic powders. We have successfully achieved air transport via vacuum for materials with poor flowability, such as wet, oily, adhesive, bridging, hygroscopic materials, as well as explosive materials and nanoparticles. *If you would like to request a demo test, please feel free to contact us.
