Pressure Resistant Vacuum Conveyor (PED version) - VTS

Fully compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU requirements, it is typically installed directly on the reactor to facilitate efficient charging into the vessel while preventing explosion and contamination risks.

The PED version of the Vacuum Conveyor functions similarly to a Standard Vacuum Conveyor, utilizing a vacuum pump to aspirate products. However, it integrates advanced technologies designed specifically for high-pressure applications, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

Working Process Configurations:

Depending on its application, we can produce Vacuum Conveyors in three different configurations:

1. Overpressure Version:

   This configuration generates overpressure during discharge by injecting air and inert gas (such as nitrogen) into the system to prevent clogging and enhance safety by creating an inert environment during product unloading.

2. Version with Inertization:

   This configuration involves completely removing the air from the Conveyor’s body before introducing nitrogen gas, thereby eliminating any potential risk of fire or explosion and making it ideal for handling sensitive or hazardous materials.
