vacuum conveyor VR315 with tangential suction port and cyclone insert module Vacuum-Conveyors VR

The star of the vacuum conveyors because of its unique modular design. The VR series is used in all industries where bulk materials are conveyed. They are small and lightweight and come with many options to choose from to fulfil your demand for a high quality conveyor at a fair price and with quick delivery times.

We do the product configuration for you and help to find the best suitable solution for your application on the basis of know-how, our product database or custom tests with your particular product.

VR-Vacuum Conveyors are available in three different sizes. The number indicates the diameter of the separator container (in mm):

  • VR 170: 40 - 600 kg/h conveying capacity
  • VR 315: 150 - 2500 kg/h conveying capacity
  • VR 450: 500 - 6500 kg/h conveying capacity

Containers in stainless stell 1.4301 / 304,
316L optional, Ra < 0,8 µm
Seals in Silicone rubber (FDA), Nitrile or EPDM
