Multi-Floor Vacuum Conveying for Fluorochemical Powders

Challenge

Fluorochemical powders had to move between floors safely with remote control and minimal operator exposure.

Solution

CYprocess engineered a vacuum conveying system with local and remote HMI control for multi-floor transfer (~5 m H / ~26 m V).

Results

  • Cross-floor enclosed powder transfer
  • Remote and local operating modes
  • Reduced manual carrying between levels
  • Better containment of fine chemicals

Project Details

Project background

A Changshu fluorochemical site needed reliable powder lift between levels without open buckets or long screw runs through occupied floors.

Chemical plant
Multi-floor chemical plants favour flexible vacuum routing

System design

Vacuum receivers and pipeline route powder ~26 m vertically with short horizontal runs. Operators can run the system from local panels or a remote station.

Vacuum pump
Correct vacuum source sizing supports vertical lift

Results

Material moves floor-to-floor in a sealed pipeline with clearer control ownership between production and utilities teams.
