Vacuum conveyors target cost savings in chemical material handling
Hapman vacuum conveyors are designed to move powders and other materials efficiently while reducing operating costs in chemical manufacturing operations.
The vacuum conveyors use regenerative blower technology to transport materials without relying on plant compressed air. According to Hapman, this design helps reduce energy consumption and operating expenses associated with pneumatic conveying systems.
Each system also includes a reverse-pulse filter cleaning system intended to maintain filtration performance and reduce maintenance downtime during operation.
The vacuum conveyor lineup includes three models designed for different plant environments and operational requirements.
The MiniVac model uses dilute phase vacuum conveying technology and allows pipeline routing around equipment or structural obstacles. Hapman says this flexibility can simplify installation in facilities with complex layouts. The unit is available in painted carbon steel or stainless-steel construction.
The LP Series vacuum conveyor is designed for material transfer in facilities where floor space is limited. The compact design allows installation in tight processing environments.
The E-Line model focuses on safety in environments where dust explosion risks may exist. The system is rated for pressures up to 14.5 psi and is designed to help protect both personnel and equipment during operation.
Hapman’s vacuum conveyor systems are part of the company’s broader portfolio of bulk material handling equipment.
