We know from a review of questions through our Website that when food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and other manufacturers encounter an especially difficult powder and bulk handling situation, they contact our engineering team for guidance. Given our many decades of experience and well-documented track record in successfully transferring hundreds upon hundreds of different materials and ingredients with our pneumatic vacuum conveyors, the difficult material transfer situations that often stump even very skilled process engineers are usually very similar to other projects we’ve already solved. Even when presented with conveying ignitable powders and combustible dusts in hazardous, regulated environments, Volkmann engineers already understand the complexities, the potential pitfalls to avoid, and how to design, manufacture, and deliver exactly the right vacuum conveying solution to ensure safe, smooth, consistent operation.

To help you understand the science behind Volkmann vacuum conveying, why they are explosion-proof by design, and when it makes sense to use pneumatic conveyors, we’ve compiled a wealth of our accumulated knowledge, and perhaps more importantly, our wisdom as creative powder processing experts, into a single, must-read eBook.
