Loading and Unloading Mixers with PerMix Vacuum and Pneumatic Conveyors

Loading Options for Mixers

1. Vacuum Conveying Systems
   • Dust-Free Operation: PerMix’s vacuum conveying systems create a closed-loop system, preventing dust or material spillage during transfer.
   • Gentle Material Handling: Ideal for fragile powders or granules, vacuum conveyors ensure minimal product degradation during transport.
   • Automated Material Transfer: Programmed to deliver precise quantities, vacuum systems reduce manual intervention and improve batch consistency.
   • Applications: Frequently used for loading powders, granules, or small particles into vertical ribbon mixers, paddle mixers, or plow mixers.
2. Pneumatic Conveying Systems
   • High-Speed Transfer: Pneumatic conveying systems use air pressure to rapidly transport materials to the mixer.
   • Customizable Designs: Options include dense phase or dilute phase systems, tailored to material properties and processing requirements.
   • Flexible Configurations: Can load materials directly from bulk bags, drums, or silos.
   • Applications: Excellent for high-capacity processes requiring fast and continuous loading.
3. Integrated Vacuum Loading Systems
   • Mixer Integration: Built directly into the mixer’s design, vacuum loaders eliminate the need for separate loaders, streamlining the operation.
   • Space-Saving: Ideal for facilities with limited floor space.
   • Energy-Efficient: Reduced power consumption compared to standalone loaders.

Unloading Options for Mixers

1. Vacuum Conveying for Discharge
   • Hygienic Discharge: Vacuum conveying systems can extract finished products directly from mixers to downstream processes such as packaging, filling, or storage tanks.
   • Precise Material Control: Suitable for handling fine powders or cohesive materials with high accuracy.
   • Reduced Cross-Contamination Risk: Closed systems maintain product integrity and comply with stringent sanitary standards.
2. Pneumatic Conveying for Discharge
   • High-Flow Output: Pneumatic systems quickly unload large batches of material from mixers, ensuring fast turnover times.
   • Direct Connection to Production Lines: Materials can be transferred to hoppers, bagging systems, or additional processing equipment.
   • Applications: Often used in industries requiring continuous flow, such as chemical production or food manufacturing.
3. Hybrid Conveying Systems
   • Dual Functionality: Combines vacuum and pneumatic conveying for loading and unloading, offering maximum flexibility for complex production lines.
   • Enhanced Efficiency: Ideal for facilities handling multiple types of materials.
