Vacuum Conveying Systems

Vacuum conveying draws materials to the delivery point through a totally enclosed pipeline, in a clean, contained airstream generated by a vacuum blower package.

Fully Enclosed

Sealed pipeline.

Gentle Handling

No moving parts in contact.

Dust Free

Nothing escapes.

No Contamination

Nothing gets in.

How It Works

How Vacuum Conveying Works

With vacuum conveying, materials are drawn to the delivery point through a totally enclosed pipeline, in a clean, contained stream of air generated by a vacuum blower package.

A receiver at the delivery point separates the material from the air, and the air passes through filtration before the blower. Material is moved without being touched by moving parts.

In vacuum conveying, no moving parts contact the materials, no dust escapes into the atmosphere and no contamination can enter the system.

The System

Vacuum Blower Package, Pipeline and Receiver

A vacuum conveying system pairs a vacuum blower package with an enclosed pipeline and a receiver above the process.

Joints in the pipeline are commonly made with Morris compression couplings, and blowers can be fitted with silencers and intake filters.
