Hanningfield Uni-Vac vacuum conveyors are a safe and convenient method for transferring powder. Powders, granules, and other materials are transported using a combination of vacuum and air (known as ‘Lean-Phase’ or ‘Dilute-Phase’). The dust-tight sealed system prevents material contamination, while protecting the operator, process and environment from product exposure or accidental spillage (thereby minimising waste).

The Uni-Vac ultra-hygienic ‘V-Series’ of vacuum conveyors consists of a rolled and seam welded hopper body (all welds removed), which can be customised to any specification. This conveying solution does not require compressed air to operate and is the better option for process rooms with height restrictions as the hopper’s sloped sides facilitate greater volumes.

Suited for most process applications, the Uni-Vac hygienic ‘VC-Series’ of vacuum conveyors uses a vacuum generator to create the air flow. An electro-pneumatic or fully pneumatic control panel is available; this means that the VC-Series is easier to install in ATEX environments.

The Uni-Vac satisfies numerous applications including ‘suck-and-dump’ and direct loading. Optional upgrade features include level control, line clearance valves, CIP / WIP, HEPA filters, support frames and ATEX execution. All units are assembled using clamps for fast and easy dismantling for cleaning and can be supplied with full validation documentation (FS/DS, FAT, SAT, IQ/OQ) and 3.1 mill certificates to EN10204.
