Vacuum Loader

A vacuum feeder, also called a vacuum conveyor or vacuum conveying system, that sucks powder through a pipe into a hopper and discharges it to the machine below, with automatic level control.

Overview

Powder moves by vacuum

The ZKS vacuum feeder uses a vacuum pump to draw air, so the inlet of the suction nozzle and the whole system are under vacuum. Powder particles are sucked into the nozzle with the outside air, pass through the suction pipe and reach the hopper.

The separated material then enters the receiving equipment. Loading and discharging are done by a pneumatic three-way valve that opens and closes continuously, controlled from the control panel.

  1. Suck

    The vacuum pump draws powder and air into the suction nozzle and up the pipe.

  2. Separate

    Powder separates from the air in the hopper.

  3. Discharge

    The pneumatic three-way valve opens and the powder drops into the receiving equipment.

Features

Clean, automatic feeding

Compressed air cleans the filter on every discharge.

  1. Dust-free feeding

    Powder travels through a closed pipe by vacuum, with no open handling.

  2. Filter backflush

    On each discharge, a pulse of compressed air blows the powder off the filter, so suction stays normal.

  3. Level control

    A level controller stops feeding when the receiving machine is full and starts again when it runs low.

  4. Automatic cycle

    Suction, conveying and filter cleaning run in one fully automatic cycle.

  5. Hopper options

    The hopper can be fixed on the receiving equipment or on a hand-lifting trolley.

  6. Nine models

    From ZKS-1 to ZKS-20-5, including 10 m and 20 m conveying versions.

Specifications

Choose by feeding capacity

Capacity is the maximum output, measured at a conveying distance of 5 m with powder. The longer the distance, the lower the capacity, and it also depends on the material. ZKS-10-6 is rated at a 10 m conveying distance and ZKS-20-5 at 20 m.

Model Power (kW) Capacity (kg/h)
ZKS-1 1.5 400
ZKS-2 2.2 600
ZKS-3 3 1200
ZKS-4 5.5 2500
ZKS-5 5.5 3200
ZKS-6 5.5 3200

Questions

Before you order

What is a vacuum conveyor?

A vacuum conveyor sucks powder through a closed pipe into a hopper and discharges it to the machine below. The ZKS is one, also called a vacuum feeder or vacuum conveying system, with automatic level control. It feeds 400 to 6,000 kg/h across nine models.

How does a hopper loader work?

On the ZKS, the powder separates from the air in the hopper. A pneumatic three-way valve then opens and the powder drops into the receiving equipment. A level controller stops feeding when the receiving machine is full and starts again when it runs low.

What is the purpose of a vacuum pump?

On the ZKS the vacuum pump draws air so the suction nozzle and the whole system are under vacuum. Powder is sucked in with the outside air, passes through the suction pipe and reaches the hopper.
