Blender Loading System Upgrade Meets New Production Requirements

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

Case Study: Packaging Companies Discover Efficiency, Cost Savings And Increased Production Available Through Pneumatic Conveying

With today's economic pressures, more plant managers and others charged with conveying powders, granular items, and flakes for packaging are adopting the automatic operation of vacuum conveying and packaging equipment as standards to hit critical price points for market success.

Case Study: Bag Handling, Check Sieving, Weigh System

In this installation, materials are received in 50-pound bags and semi-bulk bags and are security screened for foreign objects while being conveyed to a weigh hopper, where they are automatically hatched in predetermined weights and discharged into process drums.

Case Study: Advanced Industrial Vacuum Cleaning Systems Integrated into Production And Processing Systems Are Paying Dividends By Increasing Productivity, Improving Safety and Protecting Worker Health VAC-U-MAX has developed an innovative way of handling wastewater treatment chemicals, including Potassium Permanganate and Alum, both widely used to neutralize the smell of wastewater in municipal and industrial treatment facilities

Dual Purpose Vacuum Conveyor Triples Company's Production Throughput

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.
