This system performs weight measurement by installing a vacuum conveyor on a special frame, completely isolating it from external forces and loads. The filling weight is continuously measured during the suction cycle. Our CONWEIGH vacuum transport and weighing/filling system measures both the input and output of bulk materials. These systems can be set to transport a constant amount of product or control the supply quantity over time. CONWEIGH offers a vacuum conveyor with a fine discharge function that achieves an accuracy of up to 99.7%/99.9% (depending on the material condition and installation location).

VOLKMANN can also be used for the transport of abrasive powders. We implement processing of the suction module and adjust the flow rate during conveyor inflow, allowing for safe and long-term use. However, suction from a general hopper can lead to rat holes and blockages, which we resolve with the ideas of our skilled staff and the assistance of our partner companies. Using the VS250, we achieve a transport capacity of approximately 1000 kg/h over a distance of 15 m (including 10 m vertically). *For more details, please contact us.*

In accordance with the specific chemical substance hazard prevention regulations mandated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, there was a need to improve the traditional manual powder handling process. Our conveyor system, which can be constructed with a sealed structure for transportation, was adopted, resulting in a dust-free operation. Using the VS250, we have achieved a transportation capacity of approximately 2600 kg/h over a distance of 10 meters (including 5 meters vertically). *If you are interested, please contact us.*

We received a request from a customer to transport ingredients for baked goods such as sugar, salt, starch, and flour in a sealed structure. A transport capacity of 1,000 kg/h and an input accuracy of less than 1% are required. To achieve this, we designed a supply hopper with dust collection functionality for six ingredients. Depending on the characteristics of the materials, it is equipped with bridge breakers, mixing devices, and fluidization devices. From the above hopper, the ingredients are transported to a central large hopper via six vacuum conveyors. Below the vacuum conveyors, Volkmann vibrating feeders are installed. These can fill in gram units. To optimize valuable production time, we designed a system that supplies all six different ingredients to the large hopper simultaneously. *If you are considering not only transportation but also weighing and filling, or if you are struggling with design, please feel free to contact us!!

High moisture-absorbing brown sugar can cause rat holes in hoppers and blockages in hoses, making it unsuitable for air transport. With the help of our "experienced staff's ideas" and "partner companies," we were able to create a stable air transport system. We achieved a transport capacity of 1.5 tons per hour using the VS350 over a transport distance of approximately 20 meters. *Due to special design/specifications, please contact us through our company website if you are interested!

Pharmaceutical raw materials are transported by air from the container and supplied to the tablet press via our vacuum conveyor (two VS200 units). At that time, due to the process that dislikes segregation, adjustments were made for "plug transport," and the automatic operation was designed and manufactured in collaboration with FETTE. Due to the low ceiling height of the production equipment, we also designed a custom lift and turning device for the customer. *If you are considering transportation to the tablet press or are struggling with the design, please contact us through our company website.

The Volkmann lamp breaker equipped with rotating blades can be used in various applications where aggregates and lumps hinder the production process. In air transport lines, aggregates of powders and granules need to be reduced in size before being introduced into the transport system.

• Crusher

When food mixtures are transported at high speed to packaging and filling machines, there is a risk of classification due to differences in specific gravity. The Volkmann ejector enables a high achievable vacuum level of -91 kPa, allowing for the area of "plug transport." This results in a gentler product transport speed, maintaining the mixing ratio during conveyance. We ensure that consumers do not notice differences in the composition of instant soups.
