The vacuum pump generates a vacuum in Vacuum Conveyor separator tank. Air rushes in through the hose/pipe and the suction inlet from the feeding point. The bulk material is aspirated and then carried in this air stream.
Inside the separator tank a filter module separates air and product. The material is kept and collected in the separator. The separator provides higher transportation capacities because of a lower load of the filter elements.
When the separator is filled with product, the vacuum pump switches off, inside of the vacuum conveyor the pressure is balanced to surrounding area with tenth of a second. The separated material discharged from the vacuum conveyor through the discharge element and fall into the tank directly.
After unloading the product the discharge element closes and the whole conveying cycle start again.
