Solution Spotlight: Vacuum Conveying Moves the Meter on Safety and Efficiency

Vacuum conveying systems automate the movement of dry materials, offering numerous benefits in industrial processes. They improve safety by controlling dust, reducing spills and handling combustible powders more securely than pressure-conveying systems. These systems enhance quality control through consistent ingredient ratios and efficient packaging, which is crucial for consumer brand management and avoiding costly recalls.

However, there are considerations to factor in when selecting a system. To discuss the challenges and benefits of vacuum-conveying, Chemical Processing sat down with David Kennedy, business development manager at VAC-U-MAX. The following is an edited version of that conversation.
