Suction and conveying systems for powder and granules: move raw materials without dust in suspension 🌬️📦


When flour, coffee, plastics, or fertilizers arrive at the factory, the last thing you need is a worker carrying sacks or clouds of dust invading the warehouse. vacuum suction and granule transport systems They act as authentic "industrial vacuum cleaners" that move the product from the receiving hopper to the silo, mixer, or packaging machine without contamination or loss. We also have auger screws, dense phase conveyors Dense Phase (dense phase) and dilute phase systems Dilute Phase (diluted phase) to adapt to each density, flow rate and fragility of the material.


1. Available transportation technologies

System Typical flow rate Key advantages Product examples
Vacuum conveyor 200 kg/h – 6 t/h Zero dust emissions, hygienic CIP design Flour, powdered sugar, cosmetic pigment
Dense Phase pneumatic 1 – 40 t/h Low speed → minimum breakage Roasted coffee, effervescent tablets, puffed snacks
Dilute Phase pneumatic 500 kg/h – 60 t/h Long distances, low cost per meter PVC powder, calcium carbonate
Flexible screw conveyor 300 kg/h – 25 t/h Handles grain, pellets or cohesive powder Extruded cereals, polypropylene pellets
Tubular drag chain 2 – 80 m³/h Smooth transport, complex 3D circuits Sunflower seeds, chopped walnuts
Volumetric/gravimetric screw feeder 50 kg/h – 10 t/h Precise dosing to mixers Protein powder, vitamin premixes

Granulometric range: fine powder < 50 µm ▸ medium powder 50-500 µm ▸ granule 0.5-10 mm ▸ pellet 15 mm
