Vacuum pneumatic conveying systems - Powder pumps:
Transporting the product without damage - Suitable for difficult products
Flow rate from 5 to 10,000 ltr/hr
Steel, 304L and 316L stainless steel construction
Our VFLOW® range
Dense phase vacuum pneumatic transfer allows the product to be transported without damaging it, in a continuous and confined manner. Particularly adapted to difficult products, the presence of the pneumatic vibrator allows a better flow of your powders or your bulk products. This suction cyclone can be easily installed in your environment and can be extended.
The pneumatic transport of your powders is done from several feeding points.
A range of five suction cyclones for pneumatic transfer of powders and granules without damage. Coupled with weighing systems, they allow the weight-controlled introduction of raw materials into your manufacturing process
Gentle material transfer for friable and abrasive products
Palamatic Process offers, within the VFlow® product line, five models of vacuum conveying cyclones for dense phase pneumatic transfer. Our dense phase line is suited for abrasive materials to prevent damage to conveying lines as well as preventing attrition for friable powders and granules (sugar, salt, sodium bicarb, etc.). When integrated with weighing systems, these systems can be used with metering equipment (feeders, airlock rotary valves, etc.) for a controlled introduction of raw materials into your manufacturing process.
The new generation of powder pumps, developed by the Palamatic Process design office, provides gentle dense phase vacuum conveying which prevents material degradation and the creation of additional dust within your powder handling production processes. Particularly suited for difficult materials (poor flow, friability, abrasiveness or explosive), this cyclone is easily installed in your process with extension options to suit your production requirements. Some options include hygienic vacuum conveying equipment, clean in place conveying, and line purge vacuum systems. The conveying system can be designed with multiple feed points and/or destinations in your process. Systems can also be designed to provide material feed into a pressurized reactor vessel without an additional air supply.

Palamatic Process offers the vacuum transport system V-Flow® running on a dense phase principle.
The bulk material is vacuumed through a vacuum pump (electric or pneumatic) to a arrival cyclone (cyclo-filter) with tangential arrival (cylindrical).
The product is vacuum through a pneumatic conveyor gearbox installed at the point of withdrawal (no rotary valve) until the vacuum cyclone that is equipped with filters of small sizes to separate the air from the product. The vacuum cyclone is equipped with a butterfly valve (or other if the process requires) and a level probe allowing the emptying at regular intervals.
The rates obtained by this type of powder pumps are between 5 and 10,000 litres per hour with low energy consumption and extremely simple maintenance.
The other advantage of this powder system is the ease of the implementation of the weight control.
The vacuum cyclone may be located on loading cells allowing the vacuum and feeding of the conveyed product.
For incorporation of powder into liquids (powder skid), the powder pump solutions are often used because of their advantages:
- Weighing of the bulk material
- Simple system
- Easy cleaning
- Simple piping that can be modified in the future
The pneumatic conveyor gearbox can also be replaced with a vacuum pipe handled by the operator.
This type of pump for powder is generally associated with weighing. Indeed, the hopper of departure may be located on load cells and a purge valve is shutting off product flow ensuring management of the fall.
On the contrary, the cyclone of reception can be implemented on load cells in order to extract from different points the right amount of product needed in the preparation of the premix.
All these vacuum conveying systems can be mounted directly under sacks unloading stations, big bags unloading units, containers, silos ...
