Pneumatic Conveyor Product Introduction
Pneumatic conveyor, also known as vacuum feeding machine or vacuum conveying system, is a highly efficient dust-free material handling solution. It is designed to automatically transport powder, granules, and powder-granule mixtures from storage tanks to production equipment.
The system can feed materials directly into mixing machines such as V-type mixers, two-dimensional mixers, and three-dimensional mixers. It is widely used in GMP-certified production environments, ensuring clean, safe, and efficient material transfer without contamination or leakage.
With fully enclosed pipeline design, the system prevents dust overflow and improves production hygiene, making it ideal for modern industrial automation.


Working principle
Step 1: Vacuum pump creates negative pressure inside closed system
Step 2: Material is sucked into suction nozzle through air flow
Step 3: Powder or granules form air-solid mixture in pipeline
Step 4: Mixture is transported to receiving hopper
Step 5: Air and material are separated in filtration chamber
Step 6: Clean air is released through filter system
Step 7: Material is discharged into target equipment
Step 8: System automatically restarts for continuous feeding cycle
