VAC-U-MAX ColumnLiftTM Vacuum Conveying Systems provide gentle and damage-free vacuum transfer of product to process vessels including mixers, blenders, reactors or any vessel with open and close hatch doors. The system draws material directly from floor level — from paper bags, drums, IBC’s, boxes, bulk bags, silos, storage containers, and feed bins — maximizing processing by minimizing the ingredient handling stages including manual scooping, heavy lifting, stair-climbing, and messy dumping.
Engineered for easy handling of powders and granular bulk materials from ground level to up and over process equipment, the VAC-U-MAX ColumnLiftTM Vacuum Conveying System is furnished with an 18” diameter floor base and top rotating anchor. The operator stands a safe distance away and with remote pendant operates the electric lift mechanism, raising and lowering at 10-15 ft/min (3-4.5 m/min). The system rotates away from the loading hatch of the process vessel and can be used to load side-by-side process vessels. All cleaning and sanitation steps occur at ground level instead of at elevation. A highly productive and versatile addition for any application requiring vacuum conveying free-flowing and non-free flowing materials from ground level to over process equipment at rates from handfuls to over 5,000 lb/hr (2,300 kg/hr).
