Sanitary Powder-Handling Receivers for Food Processing Applications
VAC-U-MAX sanitary receivers offer the most versatile solution for the handling of free and non-free flowing powders and other bulk materials. Many configurations are available, dependent on conveying applications, including batch weighing, loading tablet press machines, mix tanks, blender loading, hopper loading, and loss-in-weight feeder refill. All food and pharmaceutical 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 (2268 kg) per hour and beyond. A variety of discharge valves types and finishes are available.

AERO-FLEX Flexible Screw Conveying System
AERO-FLEX flexible conveying systems are engineered to transport powders and granular material without separation of product. The AERO-FLEX system utilizes a stainless steel or carbon steel one-piece helix, which is enclosed within a stationary plastic tubing for transferring material from its feed hopper to the discharge point, quickly and efficiently. Typical applications include transferring most types of bulk materials including, foods ingredients and pharmaceuticals from bulk bag unloaders, bag dump stations, and feed hoppers. Additional applications include loading filling machines, blenders/mixers, surge hoppers, bulk bag loaders, grinders, pulverizers, air classifiers and to load and unload sifters.

NFPA-Compliant Industrial Vacuum Cleaning System for Fine Powders and Dusts
VAC-U-MAX product line includes a full range of portable and central industrial vacuum cleaning units and complete systems, engineered for specific applications that address issues like worker exposure to dusts, chemical compatibility, flammability, and combustibility. The MDL850 Continuous-Bagging System for fine powders, is designed to reduce operator exposure to fine powders and dusts, improving material handling of dusty debris. This continuous-duty vacuum is equipped with a continuous bagging system that eliminates dumping of a drum or rigid collection container. Closed bags prevent dust clouds, with unit containing a unique filter cleaning system that eliminates the need for compressed air and solenoid controls. VAC-U-MAX air-powered vacuums do not use electricity and do not generate heat, meeting the definition of an “intrinsically safe system”.
