• Integratedvolumetricfeeding&conveying

Vacuum conveying systems offer a cleaner operating environment for a wide range of applications from small to large installations as part of an integrated production process.

Schenck Process systems incorporate the world leading technology of Mac Process pneumatic conveying together with downstream measuring andfeedingequipment,fromSchenckAccuRate,to provide a highly accurate and controlled process flow of materials.

The comprehensive knowledge and understanding of production processes make Schenck Process a unique provider of the completerangeofequipmentutilizingvacuumconveying technology.

Schenck Process MoveMaster® Vac vacuum conveying technology is used throughout the Food,Chemicals,MineralsandPlasticsindustriesto handle both raw materials and finished products.

The key components in a Schenck Process MoveMaster® Vac vacuum system are the pick up and reception points which are based on a modular construction with dust proof seals and quick release clamps to simplify cleaning. Completeunitscanbestrippeddowninminutes.

Modular construction also means changing process needs can be readily accommodated by simply replacing the relevant standard components from the wide range available.

• TheMoveMaster®Vacconveyingsystemis available in three different capacities 10 liter, 35 liter, and 80 liter.

• Unlikemostvacuumconveyingsuppliers,Schenck Process offers a full range of filter bags with cages and filter cartridges ensuring that the most effective filter is chosen for each application.

• TheMoveMaster®Vacconveyingsystemis completed by adding a vacuum source to provide the motive air.

Vacuum conveying systems are ideal for most short to medium distances (up to 328 ft. (100 m)) and low to medium throughput (up to 11,000 lbs./hr. (5,000 kg/hr)) applications.

While it is possible to use vacuum conveying for longer distances or higher throughputs Schenck Process is in the enviable position of having other conveying technology that is better suited to these applications.

MoveMaster® Vac systems are the preferred choice for hygienic applications due to the modular easy dismantle and clean features and the lightweight construction.

Food IndustryVacuum conveying systems are common in the food industry for conveying ingredients from sacks or bulk bags into the various process steps within a food production facility, and transporting finished products to filling and packaging machines.
