Name: Vacuum Conveyor
Brand: CHUYAO Powder Engineering

Question 1

What information do you need to size a vacuum conveyor?

Accepted Answer

Share material name, bulk density, particle size, moisture or stickiness, required capacity (kg/h), horizontal and vertical conveying distance, number of pick-up and drop points, and destination equipment (mixer, hopper, packer, etc.). Hygiene, ATEX or inert-gas needs should also be stated.

Question 2

Intermittent or continuous discharge - which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Intermittent discharge is recommended for most plants: lower cost and easy level control when feeding mixers or hoppers. Continuous discharge is better for long routes or high continuous rates. We confirm the mode after reviewing layout and throughput.

Question 3

How is the filter kept clean during conveying?

Accepted Answer

Each discharge cycle (or a timed pulse) uses compressed air to reverse-blow the filter elements, releasing powder cake back into the hopper so suction performance stays consistent.

Question 4

Can one vacuum conveyor feed several machines?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where the process allows. One unit can rotate among multiple destinations with diverter valves or sequential recipes, or run under level control on a shared buffer. We design the piping and logic around your line.

Question 5

What materials of construction are available?

Accepted Answer

Product-contact parts are typically SS304 or SS316L. Seals, hoses and filter media are selected for food, pharma, abrasive or chemical duty as required.

Question 6

What air and utility conditions are required?

Accepted Answer

Besides the vacuum source power supply, pulse cleaning and pneumatic valves usually need clean, dry compressed air around 0.5-0.6 MPa. Exact consumption depends on filter size and cycle rate.

Question 7

Do you provide drawings and lead time with the quotation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Datasheets, general catalogs and project GA / interface drawings can be issued with the offer after material and layout review. Lead time depends on customization and is confirmed per order.
