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.

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.

New Filquip Portable Vacuum Conveyor – FVC

Filquip has worked with the Coffee Roasting and Calcium Powders industries to develop a Mobile Vacuum Conveyor with wand piece to allow staff to suck powders and granules from the bags and lift them up into their equipment.

The FVC mobile 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, hoppers 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.
