Torpac, Fairfield, NJ 973 244 1125 www.torpac.com Vacuum Conveyor Low-rate vacuum conveyor gently delivers pharmaceutical powders to capsule- filling machines, tablet presses, packaging machines, or other process vessels. Stainless steel unit conveys material from 0.5 cubic foot per minute up to 1,500 pounds per hour and meets FDA specifications. Conveyor draws material directly from drums, boxes, or other storage containers, eliminating the need for manual scooping, which can lead to messy dumping or mishandling. System features a compact design and tool-free disassembly for easy cleaning. Dust-tight connection between the unit's receiver and press hopper maximizes cleanliness and product integrity, and the automatic pulse-jet filter cleaning system ensures high operating performance. System uses a level sensor to automatically start the conveying cycle when the material level is low in the tablet press hopper. Conveyor can be powered by an air-operated venturi power unit or a high-efficiency electric blower with few moving parts for minimal maintenance. Complete package includes the vacuum conveyor, power unit, vacuum hose, conveying wand, and UL-listed control panel. Vac-U-Max, Belleville, NJ 800 822 8629 www.vac-u-max.com
