Vacuum pneumatic conveying systems are ideal for transporting materials from multiple sources, such as storage vessels, process equipment, trucks, and railcars, to individual or multiple destinations. These systems offer superior leak containment, making them suitable for handling hazardous materials. A positive displacement vacuum pump creates negative pressure, drawing material into the system via rotary airlock valves, pick-up wands, or flood-feed adapters, and separating the material from the air at filter receivers or cyclone separators. Vacuum systems are also suited for direct feeding of blenders, reactors, and other enclosed process vessels under vacuum, eliminating the need for individual filter receivers or cyclone separators at each discharge point.
