Material Handling Case Studies, White Papers, & Application Notes

1. Blender Loading System Upgrade Meets New Production Requirements 9/25/2008

   Desired increases in production rates and some changes in products forced a major food processor and packager in the Northeast to consider upgrading some of its material handling and processing operations. By VAC-U-MAX

2. Ultra-High Shear Mixing Strategies For Manufacturers

   This white paper presents four advanced rotor/stator technologies for ultra-high shear mixing of fine dispersions, emulsions, and other applications beyond the capabilities of traditional single and multi-stage rotor/stator devices.

3. Select A Powder Induction Mixer That Can Serve Multiple Mix Tanks Of Virtually Any Size 3/13/2012

   Rotor/stator mixers specially designed to generate a powerful vacuum within the mix chamber are capable of inducting a wide variety of solids, from fine powders to friable pellets.

4. Dual Purpose Vacuum Conveyor Triples Company’s Production Throughput 3/10/2015

   Whether it’s a start-up scaling up production to meet demand for a new technology that is taking hold in the marketplace, or established manufacturers developing new product offerings, the ability to react quickly to changes in demand depends greatly on a highly-efficient production process. This case study shows how one company introduced an innovative pneumatic conveyor to load and dispense its blended product into packaging. This endeavor led to reduced lead time, physical efforts, and dust from its loading operations.

5. Key Components Of Pneumatically Conveying Difficult Materials 10/27/2014

   Fine-tuned flow promotion devices, suitable filters and filter placement, as well as vacuum receiver design ensure peak performance in a system.

6. Loss-In-Weight Feeders Produce Only Gains 12/15/2009

   A polymer services company installs several load-cell-based loss-in-weight feeders to automate its ingredient-feeding process and eliminate problems caused by manually handling and feeding the ingredients. By Schenck Process

7. Mixer And Blender Options For Vacuum Drying Requirements 11/12/2012

   Vacuum drying is ideal for processing heat-sensitive materials without risk of thermal degradation. It also allows manufacturers to recover costly solvents or safely dispose of any harmful volatiles removed from the closed system.

8. Pneumatic Conveying Systems Prescription For Maximizing Material Delivery 1/10/2010
   Whether it is direct loading of blenders, mixers and other vacuum tolerant vessels, gentle handling of empty or filled capsules, the dust-free transfer of ingredients to table presses, or clean up of materials, pneumatic conveying systems and vacuum technology have become an indispensible tool in streamlining pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production lines. By VAC-U-MAX
9. Pneumatic Conveying System Makes Cap Handling a Snap

   SunSweet Growers, a north California bottler, was thrilled as its number one client hit soft drink pay dirt with line after line of specialty beverages.

10. Case Study: Multiple Tablet Press Loading System 1/30/2006
    Featuring patented Vac-U-Max tube hopper material receivers and microprocessor control, this system is a relatively simple example of how previously manual operations can be cleaned up and automated
