The VTC Range of Vacuum Conveyors from VMECA are manufactured in two grades of Stainless Steel 316 or 304 depending on your requirements. These can be configured to suit your Material Transfer Rate, Distance Conveyed, Bulk Density of Material and ATEX Requirements. The operation requires a start signal (this can be pneumatic or electric) like a vacuum cleaner the material is conveyed from the pickup point down the pipework and into the vacuum conveyor. Unlike a vacuum cleaner though, the vacuum conveyor is self cleaning and empties the contents after each timed cycle. Each time it empties an Air Shock tank reverse cleans the internal pleated filter element keeping the system efficient and free from dust.
