Pneumatic Conveying Componentry

Every VAC-U-MAX vacuum conveying system begins with a pick-up point, vacuum receiver, vacuum producer, and a UL-certified control panel. The vacuum producer and control panel are the heart and brains of the system, and the receiver houses the filter—the lungs of the system.

Conveying Accessories & Peripherals

Conveying systems can be customized and optimized with speciality accessories and peripheral equipment to suit nearly every process. And if the exact solution doesn’t exist, we can custom-engineer it for you.


Speciality Frames

Our ColumnLift™ and Mobile Lift Frames raise and lower to convey powders and bulk materials into tall process vessels, mixers, and packaging machines. They eliminate manual lifting and ladder climbing and allow for floor-level cleaning and maintenance. The ColumnLift system easily rotates to fill side-by-side process vessels, and the Mobile Lift Frame is on wheels and can service multiple process lines!


Bag Loading & Unloading

Don’t let loading and unloading become the limiting factor to your productivity. VAC-U-MAX offers clean, efficient solutions to quickly and safely move material to, from, and in between processes. Our systems don’t just speed up your workflow, they maximize material usage, improve compliance, and protect your workforce.
