Our VFLOW® range

Dense phase pneumatic vacuum transfer allows the product to be conveyed in a continuous and confined manner without causing material attrition. Particularly adapted to products with poor flow characteristics, integrated pneumatic vibrating flow aids allow for improve material flow of your powders or bulk solids. The cyclone collection can be installed in your production process with the possibility of increased capacities. The pneumatic conveying of powder and granules can be adapted to include multiple product feed points, e.g., bulk bag unloaders, bag dump stations, etc.

Palamatic Process has a range of five cyclone receiver models for pneumatic transfer of powders and granules. Coupled with weighing systems, they allow the weight-controlled introduction of raw materials into your manufacturing process
Gentle material transfer for friable and abrasive products
Palamatic Process offers, within the VFLOW product line, five models of vacuum conveying cyclones for dense phase pneumatic transfer. Our dense phase line is suitable for abrasive materials to prevent damage to conveying lines, as well as preventing attrition for friable powders and granules (sugar, salt, sodium bicarb, etc.). When integrated with weighing systems, these systems can be used with metering equipment (feeders, rotary airlock valves, etc.) for a controlled introduction of raw materials into your manufacturing process.
The new generation of powder pumps, developed by the Palamatic Process design office, provides gentle vacuum conveying which prevents material degradation and the creation of additional dust within your powder handling production process. Particularly suited for difficult materials (poor flow, friability, abrasiveness or explosive), the cyclone collection is easily installed in your process, with extension options to suit your production requirements. Some options include hygienic vacuum conveying equipment, clean in place conveying, and line purge vacuum systems. The conveying system can be designed with multiple feed points and/or destinations in your process. Our pneumatic conveying systems can also be designed to provide material feed into a pressurized reactor vessel without the need for an additional air supply.
