“Plug-and-Play” Receipt-to-Process Vacuum Conveying Systems for Food Ingredients

VAC-U-MAX Announces Exhibition at ProFood Tech 2017VAC-U-MAX Systems are designed to convey a wide range of food ingredients including powders, flakes, pellets, tablets, sugar, coffee, nuts, beans, raisins and other materials like bottle caps, glue chips, and corks. Each “Ready-to-Operate” VAC-U-MAX System consists of five components: pick-up point, convey tubing, vacuum receiver, vacuum producer, and UL-Listed controls, working in unison for dust-free conveying of food ingredients from plant receipt to processing or packaging line. VAC-U-MAX controls dictate the amount of time the system conveys product to-and-from the receiver to the process. VAC-U-MAX application expertise also includes batch weighing systems and multi-ingredient handling systems, where bulk ingredients are weighed at the pick-up-point for loss-in-weight transfer or at the end of the system for gain-in-weight transfer. Visit VAC-U-MAX Booth 1132 for a working demonstration.

 

Sanitary Vacuum Conveying for Powders and Combustible Dusts: FDA / USDA, 3A-Dairy Accepted

Serving the global Food, Pet Food, Snack Food, Tortilla, Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Industries since 1954, VAC-U-MAX sanitary receivers offer the most versatile solution for handling free and non-free flowing powders and other dusty or difficult-to-convey food ingredients. VAC-U-MAX systems offer continuous and/or batch conveying solutions, including hopper loading, auger / feeder refill, blender / mixer loading, or any application requiring high level sanitary design, frequent cleaning, or material-from-air separation. All food processing equipment is constructed from 316L Stainless Steel and USDA accepted, with convey rates ranging from 500 pounds (227 kg) per hour to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) per hour and beyond.

VAC-U-MAX Industrial Vacuum Cleaning Systems: Minimizing Combustible Dust Exposure

 
VAC-U-MAX invented the world's first industrial vacuum cleaner, powered by compressed air in 1954 – first designed for combustible dust and high suction required by textile mills in New Jersey. The variable orifice venture allows operation with the lowest air consumption on the market. Utilizing no electricity, no motors creating spark, VAC-U-MAX air-driven vacuum cleaners are the ideal solution for cleaning combustible dusts.

 

NEW! Model 15 Combustible Dust Air-Vac for Food Processing Environments

VAC-U-MAX introduces the newest member of its Combustible Dust Vacuum Cleaner product line. This new model avoids expensive electrical components and uses the VAC-U-MAX venturi power unit, proven to have the lowest compressed air consumption in its product class. Model 15 fills a niche between VAC-U-MAX’s 5-gallon hand-held vacuum and the 30-gallon model for combustible dusts. Model 15 is designed for fine powders with a static-conductive PTFE primary filter and secondary cartridge filter. Unit collects powders in off-the-shelf static-conductive polybags which eliminates the mushroom cloud that comes with drum dumping. Standard construction is 304SS/316SS with bead-blast finish, and is suitable for food environments. Model 15 is also equipped with static-conductive compressed air hose, casters, ATEX-certified vacuum hose and complete cleaning tool kit.

 

Model 40008SS: Stainless Steel Combustible Dust Air-Vac for Fine Powders – Air Powered – No electricity!VAC-U-MAX Announces Exhibition at ProFood Tech 2017

VAC-U-MAX MDL40008 Stainless Steel Industrial Vacuum Cleaner features pulse-jet filter cleaning system for Class I explosion-rated environments (gases and vapors). The 30-gallon air-powered unit is completely grounded and bonded, meeting NFPA 77 requirements. VAC-U-MAX air-powered vacuums do not use electricity and do not generate heat, meeting the definition of an “Intrinsically Safe System”.

 

Model 40012: Combustible Dust Air-Powered Vacuum Cleaner for Fine Powders - Air Powered - No electricity!

VAC-U-MAX MDL40012 Industrial Vacuum Cleaner features a pulse-jet filter cleaning system for Class II, Division 2 environments. The 55-gallon carbon steel air-powered unit is completely grounded and bonded, meeting NFPA 77 requirements. VAC-U-MAX air-powered vacuums do not use electricity and do not generate heat, an “Intrinsically Safe System”. Units are available in single (30 & 55) and twin venturi (55 only).

 

Model 850: Continuous-Bagging System for Fine Powders / Dusts

VAC-U-MAX MDL850 Industrial Vacuum Cleaner is designed to reduce operator exposure to fine powders and dusts, improving material handling of dusty debris. This continuous-duty industrial vacuum is equipped with a continuous-bagging system that eliminates manual dumping of a drum or rigid collection container. Closed bags prevent fugitive dust clouds, with the MDL850 containing a unique filter cleaning system that eliminates the need for compressed-air and solenoid controls. Primary filters are non-stick and secondary filters are standard.
