Pneumatic Feeders and Vacuum Feeders

 

 

Pneumatic feeders and vacuum feeders are also known as Venturi feeders, pneumatic dischargers, fluidizers, air slides, pneumatic injectors, vacuum loaders, pressure loaders and solids-handling eductors. Pneumatic feeders use pneumatic pressure to fluidize and push bulk materials to the process unit or vessel. Vacuum feeders or eductors use a Venturi-generated vacuum to fluidize and pull bulk materials from a process unit or vessel and then push the material to another unit or vessel.

Products & Services
Solids feeders are used to deliver powder, granular and other bulk solid materials along a process line, or to and from process units, storage bins, conveyors and product packaging. Search by Specification | Learn more about Solids Feeders
Bulk materials loaders and unloaders are used to fill and remove powders, granular substances and other bulk solids from bags, bins, boxes, carts, drums, hoppers, railcars, trucks, and silos. They often include solids feeders and break down clumps or arches to allow for the more uniform distribution of bulk materials.
