RNT-CON dump station.
Containers of fine powders and solids can be safely opened and discharged in the RNT-CON enclosed rip-and-tip dump station. Contamination-free and hygienic material handling is ensured, meeting operator safety and environmental regulations. Containers are fed through a dust lock into the RNT-CON isolator. The operator uses the glove box to manually open and discharge the solids into the feeding hopper. The material is then vacuum-transferred to the next stage in the process. The unloading chamber can be flushed from within using a hand-washing gun.

VS200-F1 Vacuum Conveying Unit
The VS200-F1 is an ultra-low-profile unit for vacuum conveying small volumes of bulk solids, including granular products. With an overall height of just 16 in., it is designed to convey capacities up to 500 lb/h. Other features include a quick-release QX style filter, modular construction, an 8-in.-dia. full-bore body, and a full-bore discharge valve that has no moving parts within the product stream. The unit incorporates the new MX 360 vacuum pump, which is capable of vacuum levels as low as 27 in. Hg vacuum and can handle lean, dense, or plug-flow conditions. The standard 316L stainless steel construction is corrosion-resistant, and the seal arrangement is the same as that used on the company’s other vacuum conveyors.
