Clean, efficient & secure handling of bulk material with Volkmann UK
To manufacture the highest quality food products, you have to start at the very beginning – the raw ingredients. Have you optimised raw material handling in your production line? From flour, sugar and spices to oats, nuts and small pieces of ham, every material must be handled with the upmost care from the very moment they enter production to the final packaging.
With the highest quality equipment, Volkmann create innovative solutions to transfer bulk material with Vacuum Conveyors. Driving drastic efficiency improvements, reducing waste and creating significant cost-savings.
Volkmann provide reliable, hygienic, and efficient material handling solutions that enhance the quality, productivity, and safety of the manufacturing processes. In the food industry, mechanical conveying systems are often replaced because they are no longer able to meet the increased requirements for transportation. Vacuum conveyors can be custom designed to maximise efficiency and meet production demands. In the food industry it’s vital to protect ingredients that are fragile or that could be easily damaged. Volkmann can convey materials gently to protect even the most sensitive products.
Due to constant development and improvement in technology, removal of explosion risks and with a focus on good hygienic solutions, Vacuum Conveyors today are a preferred choice in many industries. They can transfer nano-sized material and fine dust with particles size from 0.1µm up to bigger sized pellets, tablets, sweets, or bottle caps, for example. Alongside bulk material transfer, Volkmann also create the most effective solutions for loading materials, including Drum Discharge Systems, Bulk Bag Unloading Stations and Rip-and-Tip Dump Stations.
In today’s industry it’s imperative to stay ahead of the competition, meet consumer demands and guarantee maximum efficiency in all manufacturing processes. Gone are the human-centred methods of the past as we move into the highly automised processes of today. What stands Volkmann apart is their ability to create custom solutions for each application. As specialists in the design and manufacture of pneumatic vacuum conveyors and systems, their experience and expertise ensure that you get the right solution, every time. Pneumatic powder-transfer systems are replacing more and more conventional mechanical conveying methods like screws, augers, lifts, belts and bucket conveyors. Volkmann UK can ensure that you have the optimum solution for your processes. Creating custom solutions, designed to meet your specific needs, ensuring smooth integration into your systems and transforming production. Consistently creating the optimum processing solution for food, pharma, AM and chemical industries.
Because many production processes require multiple powders or granulates to be conveyed with the same equipment, it is important to have a receiver with a simple assembly to allow quick and easy manual dismantling and cleaning to avoid cross contamination. The Volkmann VS and PPC series of vacuum conveyors feature a unique, stainless steel modular design with clamp rings allowing no-tools assembly and disassembly for cleaning and fast product changes.
Most food ingredients are of organic origin and therefore flammable as they can form explosive dust. Volkmann vacuum conveyors are ATEX certified. Even substances with low minimum ignition energy such as maltodextrin or cornflour are transported reliably, efficiently and safely. Volkmann is one of the leading manufacturers of the most secure systems for powder handling and explosion risk protection and prevention. Their ranges of Vacuum Conveyors were the first on the market that were fully certified under European ATEX regulation for all dust and soon after, also gas explosion zones. Customers can trust that Volkmann care about safety.
Volkmann provide reliable, hygienic, and efficient material handling solutions that enhance the safety, productivity, and quality of the manufacturing processes. Volkmann pay particular attention to the perfect interaction between theirs and other systems applied in the process. The optimum solution for a vacuum conveyor is often found by conducting a practical trial. Because modular, stainless-steel systems are very easy to handle and integrate, trials can be performed in test laboratories or directly at the on-site process. Volkmann UK offer free on-site trails of their vacuum conveyors with no obligations, to book simply email or call. Contact us today to find out more or to request a brochure.
