Vacuum Receivers

VACUUM RECEIVERS

Vacuum Receivers are designed for optimal productivity and up-time in vacuum convey systems. Vacuum Receivers separate solid particles from the vacuum convey stream, storing the particles until they are needed in the downstream process. The convey stream enters the Vacuum Receiver through the horizontal tube in the Vacuum Receiver body. Solid particles are collected in the receiver body, while air travels upward and exits through the Vacuum Receiver lid, toward the vacuum pump. Typically, a screen at the top of the receiver body is used to ensure all solid particles are collected in the Vacuum Receiver body, rather than traveling with the air toward the vacuum pump. High and/or low position level sensors measure the material fill level in the Vacuum Receiver, with proximity sensors handling pellet material while vibrating probe sensors handle more difficult materials, such as regrind. Various material discharge sizes are available; discharge options include knifegates and flappers. Knifegates are a popular outlet option, allowing the unit to serve as a surge hopper and eliminating potential leaks due to pellet wedging. Vacuum connection options include remote vacuum and sequence valves. Check valves are an inlet option used to prevent material backflow into the system.

Vacuum Receivers come in 1/8 ft3 – 4 ft3 standard sizes or can be customized according to system requirements.

FILTER RECEIVERS

FILTER RECEIVERS

Filter Vacuum Receivers come with pleated or bag-style filters for removing fine particles from the air. Filter Receivers include a compressed air blow-down system for automatic filter cleaning and are constructed from durable stainless steel for long-lasting performance.

Regrind Receivers are designed for materials that bridge in traditional conical hoppers. They reduce bridging with an offset cone design that has one flat side. All Regrind Receivers include a 1.5” NPT mount for a vibrating probe level sensor to monitor material fill and mounting provisions for a pneumatic vibrator to improve material flow.  

Autoclean Receivers (abbreviated as AC) are designed to independently drain all material from the unit using compressed air and cyclonic air flow in cycles. Stored material exits the receiver outlet and is collected for later use downstream. The cyclonic inlet design circulates air around the side walls of the receiver to purge all particles from the body, and the compressed air fitting blows dust and additional material off the EZ screen unit and side walls of the receiver.
