Pneu-Con Central-Powered Vacuum Conveying Systems

Central-Powered Vacuum Conveying Systems (CP) are typically comprised of a few basic components, but may include a multitude of specialized items to handle various processes and materials: from a basic One-Station System to very complex systems with 150-Stations or more. Pneu-Con Central-Powered Vacuum Conveying Systems are complete vacuum conveying system.

CP Systems can be as simple as single-station or complex multiple-station systems “powered” from a single source Blower Package or as in very large systems by multiple dedicated Blower Packages. Many System options are available to handle your specific conveying needs. CP Systems can be expanded to accommodate growing production requirements.

CP Systems consists of four (4) major components:

1. A centrally located Vacuum-based or Pressure-based Blower Package
2. Air & Material Conveying Lines
3. Material Loaders, Receivers, and/or Surge Hoppers and
4. Main Control Panel

A Blower Package coupled with a Receiver provides a simple “Up & Over” system for merely transferring product from point A to Point B. Add a few Receivers and ancillary equipment and you can now dispense to several process-specific stations.

The CP Systems can be supplied with a Main System-Control Panel and/or auxiliary panels including Motor Disconnect Panel(s), Silo and/or Station-select Panels, or Alarm Panels. These Panels require field wiring to integrate with all stations. Professional Installation (performed by Pneu-Con Field Service personnel) – including Electrical Power & Compressed-air Lines can be provided.

CP Systems operate on a BATCH principle. The duration of independently adjusted timers control the conveying and dump cycles for each station within the system; each station requires a conveying-cycle duration timer. The dump timer is a single, centrally located ON-DEMAND timer, and will continue to cycle through each station until the required material level in all receiving hoppers has been achieved.

If future needs should arise, contact one a sales engineers to discuss how Pneu-Con can provide you with a system expansion, upgrade, or establish a maintenance program. Thank you for allowing Pneu-Con to handle your material-conveying needs. We look forward to serving you in the years to come.

Blower Packages

The heart of a CP System is the Blower Package (power source). Systems can be configured for either Vacuum (Product is “pulled” from furthest point towards Blower) or Pressure (Product is “Pushed” from Blower to furthest conveying point) operation. Larger systems with multiple material sources may require dedicated Blowers to facilitate proper flow and/or enable material segregation. Silo Loading and Unloading Systems will have a dedicated Blower Package to “push” or “pull” material from Rail Cars or Bulk Trucks to one or more silos. Secondary Blower Packages (part of a CP System) will then transfer product from the Silo Take-Off Box to designated Receivers within the plant.

System Enhancements

A full range of equipment is available to enhance your CP System to perform many discrete operations and sub-operations within the material-process flow. Please click on the “System Enhancements” button for further details and information on how to improve production.
