01.10.2012 Venturi loader for high-hygiene powder handling

K-Tron’s Salina Division in the USA has introduced the P-Series venturi loader which has been designed specifically for conveying powders hygienically in food, pharmaceutical and chemical applications. It can be used for loading hoppers as well as loss-in-weight feeder refilling and meets stringent 3A Dairy sanitary requirements. The highly efficient and compact venturi power unit utilises compressed air to create its vacuum conveying source. This eliminates the need and expense for a separate blower package, making it a more economical solution for applications requiring lower rate conveying over shorter distances. The unit also includes a large area automatic reverse jet filter for efficient powder conveying.


The P-Series venturi loader is available in two outlet configurations: powered flap or active driven butterfly valve discharge with convey rates up to 300kg/h and a minimum holding capacity of 9.5dm3 which increases with the optional extension modules. The unit, which is available in Europe from Niederlenz-based K-Tron (Switzerland) LLC, comes standard with a 115/230 VAC, 15 amp controller.
