Proposal for the best combination of air transport and metal detectors.

Volkmann exhibited at trade shows in the UK for the pharmaceutical industry and in the Netherlands for the SEED (seed industry). At the UK trade show: ✔️ Discuss production challenges ✔️ Showcase conveyor operation ✔️ Share advice and solutions to help optimize processes Reasons to consider vacuum conveying in processes: ➡️ Increased productivity: With a conveying speed of up to 10,000 kg/h, bottlenecks are reduced, leading to increased output. ➡️ Minimized waste and contamination: Fully sealed, dust-free transfer enables cleaner production. ➡️ Safe design: ATEX-certified equipment ensures reliable operation even in hazardous environments. ➡️ Hygienic and compliant: FDA-approved materials meet strict food and pharmaceutical standards. ➡️ Reduced downtime: Tool-free disassembly allows for quick cleaning and changeovers. ➡️ Protecting product integrity: Gentle conveying prevents damage to fragile materials. ➡️ Reliable engineering: Built to the highest standards backed by decades of expertise.

▶Issue: Before further processing the powder in the next stage (such as packaging machines), it is necessary to inspect for the presence of metal foreign objects using a metal detector. To achieve high sensitivity, the powder needs to be inspected through free fall, but due to low ceiling height and operational inconvenience, it is not possible to install the metal detector in the next stage. ▶Solution: The CEIA metal detector will be installed under a Volkmann vacuum conveyor and on a Volkmann mobile lift. The height-adjustable lift will allow the product discharge outlet of the metal detector to be adjusted to the appropriate height for the mobile container. Additionally, the vacuum conveyor can be lowered to a height that allows the mobile lift to pass through doors. The powder will be transported, for example, from an IBC container to the mobile lift and then to the metal detector via vacuum transfer. Metal foreign objects will be sorted and collected in a separate bottle. The inspected powder will be collected in a mobile container. Another vacuum conveyor is installed for the next stage, such as the packaging machine, from which the powder will be drawn from this container. Inspection and separation of metal parts can be conducted very close to the next stage, and it is also possible in more distant production areas.
