Vacuum

The Vacuum Conveyor utilizes the vacuum to pick up the material for transfer.

This process is called a difference in pressure. This is where atmospheric air and

the different air pressure tries to equalize itself which in turn creates suction.

The same concept is used here when the air within the pipeline is evacuated

creating a negative pressure (difference in pressure). This negative pressure has

the strength to pull the solid particles through the pipeline and into the Vacuum

Conveyor.

The below pictures are the order of which the materials are transferred.

The materials are poured into a tank which transfers through the

pipeline mixing with the outside air and material, then the material

enters the Vacuum Conveyor module, and the incoming negative

pressure air is cleaned as it enters through the vacuum filter. The clean

air enters the Vacuum Pump which is exhausted out through the

exhaust port. All of these functions are controlled by the Control Box.

OVERVIEW

Vacuum Pump VMECA Vacuum Cartridges are integrated into the vacuum pump. This multi-stage venturi Vacuum Cartridges can offer large amounts of vacuum flow.

Conveyor Module Separated into 2 or 3 sections depending on the size of the Vacuum Conveyor

Control Box Controls the cycle time of the Vacuum Conveyor. There are 2 different options available consisting of pneumatically controlled or electrically controlled

Air Shock Tank Cleans the filter out of any particles that is stuck by blowing out air from inside out.

Filter Blocks off any small particles from exiting the vacuum pump exhaust port

Actuator Controlled by the Control Box, the Actuator opens and shuts the Hopper door.

⑥ FLUIDIZATION

Fluidization is necessary for materials that has a poor flowing capacity. The Fluidization works by shooting air into a hopper cone which has small porous openings(similar to a vacuum filter). This air passes through these porous openings allowing the materials inside the conveyor to fully dump.

⑦ FEED NOZZLE -1

The Feed Nozzle allows the operator to transport the material. It is adjustable by allowing air to flow in with the material. This will create a smooth flow of materials giving it a good air to material ratio to prevent clogging in the pipelines.

⑧ INJECTION VALVE

An Injection Valve is necessary when there is a 90 degree turn. The reason for this is because, if the material is transferred and drops down to the bottom, it runs into dangers of clogging the pipeline. In order to prevent this, an injection valve must be installed near the bend to allow the atmospheric air to come in and discharge the pipeline of any build ups.

⑨ INSTALLATION

√ Easy Installation

√ Nitrogen gas can be utilized to clean filters and fluidize the hopper cone.

Air can have contamination, so using the nitrogen gas will eliminate the use of contaminated air.

Compressed Air

Nitrogen gas can be utilized to go into the Air Shock Tank

(1 cycle: 0.5 liter)

Nitrogen gas can be utilized to go into the Fluidization

Gas consumption (exhaust time : about 2~4 sec) 0.4 MPa : 3 ~ 10.1 Nl/s 5 MPa : 5~12 Nl/s 6 MPa : 7~ 15.3 Nl/s

⑩ MATERIAL CONTAMINATION PREVENTION

www.vmeca.com


√ An external exhaust port is used when the particles are too small for the filter to catch. When

this happens the small particles will exit through the exhaust port. For this reason the external exhaust port has been created to either recycle the particles back into the conveyor system or dump it in a container.
