Automatic Vacuum Loading Machine

What is an automatic vacuum loader?

Automatic Vacuum Loading Machine utilize the principle of vacuum and negative pressure to fully automate material transfer. They seamlessly integrate with production equipment such as mixers, packaging machines, and reactors. Through sealed pipes, they precisely deliver materials like powders and granules to their target locations, revolutionizing traditional manual or mechanical conveying. Made of stainless steel, they support customization requirements such as explosion-proof and aseptic quality, making them an ideal choice for modern intelligent production!

What types of automatic vacuum loaders are there?

Automatic vacuum loaders can be categorized as either split or integrated. Split types feature independent components, making them suitable for long-distance, complex conveying. Integrated types are compact and ideal for shorter, smaller spaces.

Split types utilize a modular design, consisting of independent vacuum pumps, hoppers, conveying piping, and control systems, allowing for flexible component placement. Their advantage is that the vacuum pump can be installed away from the production area, effectively reducing the impact of noise and heat on the material.

Integrated types integrate the vacuum pump and hopper into a compact structure, making them easy to move and simpler to install and operate. This type is suitable for shorter conveying needs.

What are the advantages of automatic vacuum loaders?

Automatic vacuum loaders offer significant advantages. Their fully enclosed conveying system prevents dust contamination and is suitable for a wide range of industries and materials. Their automated operation reduces labor costs and improves efficiency. Their intelligent control system is easily integrated, contributing to the advancement of modern industrial conveying.

High degree of automation: Unattended operation is possible after parameter settings are set, and conveying efficiency is 3-5 times that of manual feeding.

Strong material adaptability: Whether it's free-flowing plastic granules, easily agglomerated nanopowders, or even sticky materials containing sugar or oil, stable conveying can be achieved by adjusting the vacuum level, pipe inclination, or adding a vibration device.

Boosted production efficiency: Deep integration with PLC control systems enables adjustable suction and discharge cycles from 0 to 30 seconds, and supports simultaneous feeding of multiple devices.

Innovative space utilization: The compact design reduces the equipment's footprint by 65% compared to traditional conveying systems, making it particularly suitable for space-constrained environments such as cleanrooms and high-bay warehouses.

Automatic Vacuum Loader Operating Principle

Automatic vacuum loaders operate based on a "negative pressure suction - positive pressure discharge" cycle. After the equipment is started, a vacuum pump quickly creates negative pressure within the enclosed pipeline, drawing material from a silo or container into the conveying pipeline through a suction nozzle. When the material reaches the separation tank, a filter intercepts the powder, preventing it from entering the vacuum pump. The material then falls into the storage hopper under gravity. The system then automatically switches to positive pressure, opening the discharge valve at the bottom of the storage hopper, allowing the material to enter downstream equipment, completing a conveying cycle.

What are the main components of an automatic vacuum loader?

An automatic vacuum loader primarily consists of a vacuum generation system, a suction and conveying assembly, a separation and filtration device, a storage and unloading unit, and an intelligent control system, working together to achieve negative pressure suction and automated conveying of materials.

The vacuum generation system: Powered by a vacuum pump, models with varying vacuum levels are available depending on the material's characteristics.

The suction and conveying assembly: Includes the suction nozzle and conveying pipeline. The pipeline diameter is typically 25-100 mm, suitable for materials of varying particle sizes (5μm-5mm).

The separation and filtration device: The separation tank utilizes a cyclonic separation principle and is equipped with a high-precision filter to ensure stable exhaust dust levels. Storage and Unloading Unit: Optional storage hopper capacity ranges from 5 to 50L, equipped with a level sensor. The unloading valve utilizes a pneumatic butterfly valve or ball valve.

Intelligent Control System: PLC + touchscreen control allows for setting the loading volume and conveying cycle, and supports remote start/stop and fault alarms.
