VAC-U-MAX Tube Hopper Vacuum Receivers for Difficult-to-Convey Dry Bulk Solids

VAC-U-MAX Straight-Sided Tube Hopper Material Receivers are designed for efficient, continuous handling of challenging dry bulk solids. Leveraging over 70 years of expertise in pneumatic conveying, these receivers effectively handle difficult-to-transfer materials such as high-fat or high-moisture content powders, fibrous materials like hemp, lightweight solids, and those prone to bridging or ratholing.

Key Features:

• High-Efficiency Conveying:
  
  
  • Rapid discharge rates minimize downtime and enable higher transfer speeds, making it ideal for non-free-flowing materials.
  • The straight-sided, edge-free design ends in an automatic discharge valve sized to match the tube diameter, ensuring quick, obstruction-free discharge.
    
    
• Robust Construction:
  
  
  • Available in stainless steel or carbon steel with options for standard or sanitary construction, suiting various industry needs.
    
    
• Continuous Operation:
  
  
  • Short discharge cycles maintain virtually continuous conveying, optimizing loading and batch transfer times.
  • Operates without external vibration or agitation, powered by positive displacement vacuum pumps, regenerative blowers, or VAC-U-MAX’s air-operated venturi units. 
    
    
• Closed-System Design:
  
  
  • Vacuum operation minimizes contamination and waste, as any leaks are inward, unlike positive pressure systems with outward leakage.
  • Dust-free transfer enhances cleanliness and reduces housekeeping needs. 
    
    
• Versatile Material Intake:
  
  
  • Materials can be drawn from drums, bags, totes, bulk bags, and other containers, eliminating manual scooping, lifting, and dumping.
