Pneumatic Conveying

HECHT’s pneumatic conveying solution combines the ProClean Conveyor (PCC) and Suction Shoes for safe, dust-free transfer of powders and granules. Designed for pharma, chemical, food and battery production, it meets FDA/ASME/GMP hygiene standards and supports WIP/CIP, inert (oxygen-free) conveying and ATEX/pressure-resistant variants. PCC covers DN 100–DN 300, while the heavy-duty PCC 700 handles up to 10,000 kg/h. Flexible modes—from fast-flight to gentle plug conveying—fit your product and process, with compact or mobile layouts and seamless integration to mixers, dryers, blenders and filling/bin stations.

• Vacuum Conveyor — PCC & PCC 700 — DN 100–DN 300; FDA/ASME/GMP; WIP/CIP; inert & ATEX/pressure-resistant options; modular ring/multi filters with tool-free, pulse-clean service; compact/mobile footprints for long distances; PCC 700 up to 10,000 kg/h; integrates with upstream/downstream equipment.
• Suction Shoes — Flanged to FIBC dischargers, mixers, centrifuges; optional vibrators/pushers/fluidization; adjustable false-air for fine tuning; ergonomic, modular, dosing-ready inlets; easy cleaning and quick setup.

Aplication:

• Feeding mixers, granulators, dryers over long runs with minimal dust (PCC).
• Gentle plug conveying to prevent segregation/degradation of fragile blends.
• Ex/ATEX areas with N₂ inerting and pressure-rated designs.
• Retrofits replacing mechanical conveyors in low headroom; compact/mobile PCC skids.
• Supply to filling/bin stations with pulse-clean self-cleaning filters.
• Intake from FIBCs/mixers via Suction Shoes with adjustable false air and flow aids (vibrators, fluidization).
