Introduction
Chiyu’s Vacuum Conveyors can transport numerous granulated bulk materials, small parts, powders, and pigments under vacuum in lean and dense phase through hoses and pipes. They are easy to install and quite simple to operate. By using vacuum these systems can keep the production environment clean.
Due to constant development and improvement in technology, removal of explosion risks and with a focus on good hygienic solutions, Vacuum Conveyors today are a preferred choice in many industries. They can transfer nano-sized material and fine dust with particles size from 0,1 µm up to bigger sized tablets, sweets, or bottle caps, for example. They are good for highly abrasive powders, mixtures, light filling materials (such as fumed silica with a bulk density of only 0,05 kg/l), but also work well with metal powders which can have bulk densities of up to 10 kg/l.
They can make all powder handling in production processes safe and reliable, making the work of operators easier and improving the conditions in the workplace: choose Vacuum Conveying systems from Chiyu company.
Product Description
Vacuum Conveying is the process of moving bulk dry materials, such as powders, from place to place within a factory using suction. The material is transferred in a network of tubing from the pick up point or source to the customers process. Most Vacuum Conveying System transfer product based on a timed interval to the vacuum receiver. At the end of the timed sequence the discharge valve can open and the material conveyed can discharge in to the process.
There are two types of vacuum conveying. Dilute phase conveying and Dense phase conveying.
In Dilute phase conveying the material is entrained in the air stream and the is an almost equal part of air and product. This method is excellent for conveying almost any type of powder like sugar or flour.
In Dense pahse vacuum conveying the material is transferred in slugs within the convey tubing. The material moves slower then dliute phase conveying and is excellent choice for friable product or a blend of powders.
Using Scope
Chocolates, cookies, chips and coffee but also certain chemicals — the vacuum conveyor handles all. Suitable for vacuum conveying of food, but also chemicals that do not require the use of full acid resistant stainless steel, Chiyu’s new design is a premium heavy-duty vacuum conveyor.
Using the same design as the company’s premium range conveyors, but in electropolished stainless steel (ASTM 304) rather than the acid resistant grade (ASTM 316L), chiyu serves manufacturers of, for instance, confectionary and baking goods, snacks, tea and coffee, pet food, nutraceuticals, detergents and batteries.
Like all chiyu’s conveyors, chiyu offers a fully contained unit that enables toxic and allergenic powders to be transported without the risk of operators and the surrounding work environment being exposed to hazardous materials.
chiyu’s unique technology, used throughout the conveyor range, ensures that vacuum is created in the most energy and cost-effective way possible, and is only used when the pump is running. Automatic filter cleaning and an overall hygienic design make easy to clean and requiring minimal maintenance. The conveyor complies with contact requirements according to FDA, EC No 1935/2004 and EC No 10/2011.
Available in a wide capacity range from 3 to 33 liters per conveying cycle, up to 8 tons per hour, it offers high throughput with a small footprint.
Product Advantages
Ultra-wide Material Compatibility: The vacuum conveyor supports lean phase and dense phase conveying, covering materials ranging from 0.1μm nano fine dust to large-size tablets, sweets and accessories. It adapts to ultra-light low-density materials (0.05kg/l fumed silica) and high-density metal powders (up to 10kg/l), as well as abrasive powders and mixed materials.
Safe and Explosion-proof Performance: Optimized and upgraded technical design eliminates explosion risks during material conveying. The fully enclosed conveying structure isolates toxic, allergenic and hazardous powders, protecting operators and workshop environment from material exposure and pollution.
High Hygiene & Standard Compliance: Made of electropolished ASTM 304 stainless steel, the equipment features smooth surface and no dead corners. It fully complies with FDA, EC 1935/2004 and EC 10/2011 food-grade contact standards, suitable for food, pharmaceutical and daily chemical production.
Energy-saving & Low Operating Cost: Adopts Chiyu’s exclusive vacuum generation technology. The vacuum system only works when the pump is running, avoiding invalid energy consumption. Equipped with automatic filter cleaning function, it requires minimal manual maintenance and reduces long-term operating costs.
Easy Installation & Simple Operation: Compact integrated unit design with small footprint. The equipment is easy to install and debug, with simple operating logic, effectively reducing operator workload and improving workshop working conditions.
Dual Conveying Modes Optional: Supports dilute phase and dense phase vacuum conveying. Dilute phase is suitable for universal powder conveying, while low-speed dense phase conveying protects fragile materials from crushing, meeting diversified production demands.
High Production Efficiency: Flexible capacity range of 3-33 liters per cycle, with a maximum hourly throughput of 8 tons. It realizes stable and continuous material conveying while occupying little workshop space, achieving high output with small equipment size.

FAQ
Q: What conveying modes does the Chiyu vacuum conveyor support?
A: It supports two core vacuum conveying modes: dilute phase conveying and dense phase conveying. Dilute phase is suitable for most common powders, while low-speed dense phase conveying is specially used for fragile materials and powder mixtures to avoid material crushing.
Q: What kinds of materials can this vacuum conveyor transport?
A: It covers a full range of materials, including 0.1μm nano fine dust, ultra-light low-density powders, high-abrasive materials, high-density metal powders, food raw materials, chemical powders, tablets and special granular parts, with extremely wide compatibility.
