Filquip has recently supplied a mobile vacuum loader to a building products manufacturer in NSW to allow them to convey their additive powders into the inlet of the production line hopper.

Previously this customer had to bring a mobile platform ladder to each inlet hopper on the production line and use the ladder to get the height for the operator to pour the buckets of additive powders into the hopper.

With the Filquip FVC-1 now the operators move the mobile vacuum loader head over the hopper above and vacuum product with the wand up into the hopper without needing ladders or buckets of product at height.

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.
