Coffee Bean Vacuum Conveyor FVC

Filquip has worked with the Coffee Roasting industry to develop a Mobile Coffee Bean Vacuum Conveyor with a wand piece to allow staff to suck the green beans from the bags and lift them up into their roasting equipment.

The FVC mobile coffee bean vacuum conveyor can lift almost any powder or granule product from bags or containers using the vacuum wand and lift it up into equipment such as roasters and mixers.

Many processes involve staff lifting heavy bags or drums of powder or granules into equipment.  This exposes them to physical injury through incorrect lifting techniques or just lifting things that are too heavy.  One of the easiest ways to mitigate this risk is to use vacuum conveying to lift the powder or granules up into the equipment.

Suction Feeders

Filquip is a supplier of the SF series of Vacuum Suction Feeders which are also known as Ring-Jets of Air Venturis. These SF units are capable of moving granules, powders and liquids using the vacuum force generated by the unit.Suction Feeder Wand Transfer SystemPlastic pellet vacuum feeder

The Filquip SF Suction Feeders do no require any electricity and operate on compressed air alone. The specially designed internal high speed jets create a venturi motive air stream creating the suction for conveying the product.

  • Available in a range of sizes from 19mm bore to 51mm bore with throughputs up to 3.2m3/hr.
  • Used to pump liquids, granules or powders.
  • Manufactured from high grade aluminum alloy with Stainless Steel versions available.
  • Small footprint size. Convenient for transport and single person operation.
  • Simple installation, the only requirement is to connect compressed airline into the push-in connection socket on the feeder body.

The following table of data for the Filquip Suction Feeder Models is based on conveying dry granules such as Corn, Coffee Beans or Poly Beads.

Wand Vacuum Conveyor System – FVC

Filquip has developed a Wand Vacuum Conveyor System to vacuum transfer powders and granules from Bags and Trays up into a Discharge hopper to fill into processes as required.

The FVC wand vacuum conveyor can lift almost any powder or granule product from bags, trays or containers and conveys it up into its hopper head unit. The system then discharges the product from the head hopper into any process as required by the customer.

Many processes involve staff lifting heavy bags or drums of powder or granules into equipment.  This exposes them to physical injury through incorrect lifting techniques or just lifting things that are too heavy.  One of the easiest ways to mitigate this risk is to use vacuum conveying to lift the powder or granules up into the equipment.

Mobile Pneumatic Product Conveying Systems

Filquip has recently delivered a set of Mobile Pneumatic Product Conveying Systems to customers for the unloading of bulk bags and shipping containers.

The unit consists of a bulk bag unloader which is removable allowing the connection of a shipping container unloader spout mounted onto a structurally certified mobile skid with forklift lifting points. The packaged skid has a 30kW Positive Pressure Blower with Acoustic enclosure that provides the moving air through the stainless steel piping to convey the product from the hopper and rotary valve to a camlock connection point for transfer into the site silo or hopper.

Includes integrated local control panel with VSD and dial for adjusting the conveying throughput.

Vac Truck Replacement Filters

Filquip is a filtration equipment supplier with Vac Truck Replacement Filters readily available off the shelf (Also known as Vac Truck Pencil Filters). Filquip has specialist experience in industrial dust collection, air and fume filtration and liquid filtration.

Vac Truck Replacement Filters

Filquip has extensive stocks of 155mm diameter by 1m long filter cartridges on the shelf and can make any Vac-Truck Filter Bags required for any model.

Filquip Vac Truck filters are made from spun bond polyester (240g/m2). We also carry special versions with advanced filter media for hazardous and special applications. Our Filters are generally more robust than the competitors due to our welded mesh metal core (Not Plastic) and advanced head manufacture made from our special rubberised compound (Not Polyurethane) which provides durability, flexibility and effective sealing.

Every filter head comes with a sealing snap band in the top ready for installation into your truck. The flexibility of our filter head compound allows the changing of the size of the sealing snap band to suit the Cell Plate Diameter of your Vac Truck.

The filters play a critical role in protecting the blower from damaging foreign materials. Good filters reduce the vacuum pressure required to be generated and results in less energy/fuel being required to operate the Vac Truck. Broken or low efficiency filters can result in the lobes of the blower being eroded adding extra maintenance and unexpected shut down costs.
