High-Containment Vacuum Conveying for Hazardous Granular Pesticides
.
The Challenge: Secure Handling of Dangerous Agrichemical Solids
Processing granular pesticides requires absolute containment to protect personnel and the environment. For a global leader in crop protection and agrichemicals, our team was tasked with designing an automated feeding line for a packaging machine. The system had to handle both large-scale Big-Bags and bulk intake while maintaining a dust-free, “closed-loop” environment for materials that are highly hazardous to human health.

Our Solution: Integrated Vacuum Transfer & Filtration
We engineered a multi-stream, high-containment pneumatic suction system designed to eliminate exposure risks:
We engineered a multi-stream, high-containment pneumatic suction system designed to eliminate exposure risks:
- Dual-Source Material Intake: The system features a specialized Bulk-Bag Discharge Station equipped with a pallet-handling interface and 2 high-efficiency suction probes for versatile bulk intake.
- High-Vacuum Side-Channel Blower: Powering the system is a robust side-channel blower, providing consistent negative pressure for reliable material transfer while ensuring no hazardous dust can escape into the atmosphere.
- Advanced Double-Receiver Filtration: Material is collected in two specialized vacuum receivers, each fitted with high-performance filters to separate the granules from the air stream before they enter the packaging machine.
- Integrated Safety Ventilation: To maintain the highest air quality standards, the entire unit is backed by a dedicated industrial ventilation system, ensuring total airflow control in the processing area.
