Vacuum Conveyors from Volkmann are used in thousands of industrial applications to transfer powders and granulated bulk material from A to B, daily.
We offer material conveying tests with original bulk material from our clients. Our conveying experts take the challenge to find the best systems’ configuration and settings to safely and reliably convey materials with poor flowing characteristics (sticky, highly bridging).
We are aware, that our customers not only look for convey ability and transfer rates. Other quality aspects can dictate the best system such as segregation, effects on particle shape and size, the surface quality of the conveyed material (e.g. conveying tablets). Our conveying experts wealth of experience helps with system design.
