Elements of a VacuumConveying SystemFrom pick-up spike to piping to receivers and vacuum pumps, Premier offers a wide range of equipment for pneumatic convey-ing needs, whether for automated refill of feeding systems or as stand-alone conveying applications.

The list below features the varied elements available from Premier for building a complete conveying system for loss-in-weight feeder refill as pictured in the diagram below left.

Material Pick-upFrom simple suction wands for free flowing materials to fully fluidized feed bins (1), silo pick-up pots (2) or bag dump stations (3) with pre-feeders for powders, Premier offers a wide variety of equipment to ensure reliable material pick-up into the conveying air.

Conveying LineConnecting one or multiple material pick up stations to a vacuum receiver. To ensure blockage-free conveying, diverter valves (4) and line clearance valves (5) are available in addition to the pip-ing (6).

Vacuum ReceiversVarious models of central (7) and self-contained receivers are available to separate the material from the conveying air stream, alternating between suction and discharge modes of operation.

Sequence & Vent ValvesSequence & vent valves (8) allow the air stream to bypass and vent the vacuum receiver during the discharge cycle.

Pump PackagesVacuum pump packages include the pump -- regenerative blower (9), positive displacement blower (10) -- to produce the air stream as well a bypass valve (11) to allow the pump to run while no receiver is conveying and a secondary filter (12) to protect the vacuum pump from entrance of foreign bodies.

ControlsControllers and operator interfaces are available for single central or self-contained units. To control the sequence of a multi-com-ponent system, Microprocessor and PLC controls (13) are avail-able which are programmed to suit the client’s process. Siemens, Mitsubishi and Allen Bradley PLC controls are available.

K-Tron Premier Series 2400

The most versatile line for a variety of materials

Series 2400 Powder and Pellet receivers provide a high capacity sequencing system designed to handle powder, pellet, regrind and granular materials. Each receiver has a stainless check valve to allow multiple receivers to draw material from a common conveying line.

Applications include railcar unloading, silo to daybin transfer, in-plant transfer or feeder refill.

Various models available in carbon steel (painted), stainless steel or aluminum.

All models feature quick connect clamps for easy cleaning and filter maintenance.

The self-contained 2410 loader features an integrated power head.

Fragile products?

The P-Series provides a custom solution for difficult convey-ing applications. The sanitary design is perfect for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Other design features include steep cone angles to ensure excellent discharge and band clamps for quick disas-sembly. The polyester cartridge filter is equipped with automatic reverse jet pulsing for thorough cleaning.

With the P-Series we will always work out a receiver configuration optimally suited to the appli-cation and product requirements, for simple “up and in” systems or for continuous conveying.
