Efficient food production hinges on accurate material transfer, and automated processes are preferred wherever possible. FPEC's vacuum transfer system (VTS) moves product via vacuum conveyor to provide a consistent flow to downstream processes. It's the perfect solution for fast-paced cooking and freezing lines.
Accurate Material-Transfer Solutions
When material transfer slows or faces blockages, your entire line can grind to a halt. Traditional dense-phase conveying solutions can generate dust and damage fragile materials. Our vacuum transfer system was carefully designed to solve challenges like these.
A vacuum pump transfer system is the superior option, providing the control and continuous movement needed in diverse applications. Negative pressure conveying ensures efficient flow while handling powders and solids gently. Our pneumatic suction system allows you to avoid the difficulties posed by mechanical conveying.
Vacuum Conveying Systems Specifications
FPEC's vacuum system ensures effective material transfer for powder, bulk solids, and other food materials. With a robust construction and advanced controls, your team can fully rely on this pivotal processing equipment.
- Small and large-scale processing: Transfer rates from 2,000 lbs to 20,000 lbs per hour can support operations of any size
- Flexible configurations: Portable transfer head and vacuum pump cart offer flexibility for many different applications and facility layouts
- Allen-Bradley HMI: User-friendly interface makes it easy for your team to monitor and control material-transfer operations
