Central Feeding System

Central feeding systems pull powder from shared silos, bag dumps or FIBC stations and deliver it on demand to several extruders, mixers, packers or process hoppers - reducing floor clutter and duplicate intake equipment.

Central Feeding System

What the system covers

Shared intake, vacuum source, piping, diverters, receivers and controls, sized so several machines can draw from one supply without waiting.

Balancing several machines

Each destination has a level signal and a refill priority, so the control system fills hoppers in turn and none goes empty mid-run. Receiver filters are cleaned on a timer, and diverters switch routes without manual intervention.

Layout and expansion

Pipe routing is planned so branches stay short and bends are kept to a minimum. Additional machines can be added later by extending the network with another diverter and receiver, rather than installing a second intake.

Typical challenges

Several machines compete for material without starvation or overfill
Long indoor routes need flexible piping and clean receivers
Priority logic and level signals must coordinate refill
Dust and filter cleaning at each destination receiver

What we deliver

Shared intake (silo / bag dump / FIBC) with vacuum pumps or generators
Multi-destination receivers with level control
Pipeline diverters and sequencing logic
Local filters or central dust collection
Commissioning for balancing capacity across machines

Process flow

Central intake
Vacuum convey
Diverter select
Receiver fill
Machine feed
Filter clean

Typical applications
