Vacuum Conveyors with glass-made
container system and HEPA filter
to fulfil the highest quality demands
on the conveyed products surface

Vacuum Conveyors for highly sensitive materials and applications, where contact between the conveyed goods and metal surfaces must be prevented.

Especially for:
• Film tablets
• Coated and uncoated tablets
• Dragees
• Capsules
• Sensitive bulk materials

Tablets are one of the most difficult materials to be conveyed. Whenever they are to be transported, it is important to achieve the desired throughput but maintaining the quality of the conveyed material is also important and must be regarded very carefully. Mechanical damage, chipping, scratches, wear, colouring (grey-shadowed surface) etc which sometimes can not be seen at first glance have to be avoided.

Tablet Conveyors from Volkmann offer damage-free transport for many different and sensitive tablets. They pick up the tablets from containers or directly from the tablet presses and load containers and filling- or packaging machines dust-free. They are easy and flexible to install and offer a reliable and safe automatic material supply even with limited available room height.

In Volkmann Tablet Conveyors all contact surfaces are wear-free and are made from glass. For the transportation pipeline special gap-free and shock-minimizing hose systems are used. The tablets enter the conveyor through a deceleration device and are colleted in the separator container. The air is moved-up during the suction cycle whereas possible dusts from the tablets are separated and collected in the filter module. After filling of the glass separator container the vacuum pump is switched off automatically. The tablets are discharged through a pinch valve, e.g. directly into a blister packaging machine or into an integrated glass buffer container. The glass design of the complete conveyor allows a real “transparent” production.

The application, the desired conveying capacity but especially the tablets to be conveyed themselves and the kind of loading and discharging determine the detail design of the Tablet Conveyor.
