Main Application
Pneumatic vacuum feeder uses compressded air to produce high vacuum through the vacuum generator,and then convey materials. Wih this vacuum feeder materials could be fed directly from container into mixer, reactor, hopper, tablet press, packing machine, vibration sieve. straightening granulator, wet granulator, dry granulator and disintegrator. Using this feeder,workers' labor intensity could be reduced, the dust pollution will be eliminated and ensure that the production conforms to the requirement of GMP.
Working Principle
When press down the switch of "ON/OFF", the compressed air will enter into the vacuum pump, simultaneously under the push of air cylinder, the emptying door of hopper will be closed and the vacuum will be formed in the hopper. The vacuum feeding machine forms air stream under vacuum state. Under the action of this air stream he material which is conveyed will be transpored to vacuum hopper through hose. Cetain time later (feeding time, adjustable), the compressed air is closed, the pneunatic vacuum pump is unable to produce vacuum, simultaneously under the push of air cylinder the emptying door of hopper will be opened and the vacuum will be disappeared in the vacuum feeder. The material will be fed into receiving equipment from the emptying door (for example tablet press, packing machine and so on), simultaneously,compressed air that stores up in air packet's blowbacks the filter,and the filter cleans by itself. Certain time late (discharging time, adjustable), the compressed air starts again, the pneumatic vacuum pump will form vacuum, and emptying door of hopper will be closed. The vacuum feeder will feed material again.Move in cycles,the material is fed into the equipment continuously.
For the vacuum feeder with material level controller, automatic feeding of material in the hopper of the material receiving equipment can be realized through material level controller. When the material level is higher than certain position in the hopper of the material receiving equipment, the vacuum feeder stops feeding, when the material level is lower than certain postion in the hopper, vacuum feeder starts feeding automatically. And feeding for the material receiving equipment is completed.

In this article, we will explore the design, working principles, applications, benefits, and maintenance of the QVC Series Pneumatic Vacuum Feeder, shedding light on how it contributes to operational efficiency in various industries.
The QVC Series Pneumatic Vacuum Feeder is a type of material handling system that uses pneumatic suction to transfer powders, granules, or other bulk materials from one location to another within an industrial setting. Utilizing the power of compressed air, the system moves materials through pipes to specific locations, such as mixers, hoppers, and processing equipment, while maintaining a sealed, controlled environment. This feeder is particularly beneficial for applications that require precision, hygiene, and minimal human interaction.
The QVC Series is known for its robust design and versatility, capable of handling a wide range of materials, including fine powders, chemicals, and food ingredients. The system is built for industries that require continuous and efficient feeding without cross-contamination or material loss.
The QVC Series Pneumatic Vacuum Feeder consists of several key components that work in unison to ensure efficient material transfer:
The suction system is powered by compressed air, which generates the vacuum necessary to move materials through the feeder. This system is typically designed to offer adjustable suction levels, allowing operators to control the feeding rate depending on the material type and specific processing requirements.
The feeding hopper is the entry point where materials are initially loaded into the system. It is often equipped with a high-efficiency filter to prevent the loss of fine dust and ensure that only the desired materials enter the system. The hopper is designed to handle a variety of materials, ensuring that bulk materials can be easily transferred into the pneumatic pipeline.
The conveying pipeline is the main route through which materials travel from the hopper to the processing equipment. It is constructed from durable, flexible material to allow for both vertical and horizontal material transfer. The pipeline is often equipped with various filters and separators to ensure that no unwanted particles are carried through the system.
The control valve regulates the airflow and suction pressure to optimize the material transfer process. By adjusting the air pressure, operators can control the feeding speed and ensure consistent flow, preventing material blockages or inconsistent feeding rates.
At the receiving end of the pipeline, the discharge mechanism controls the release of the material into the processing equipment, such as mixers, blenders, or reactors. The discharge system ensures that materials are released in a controlled and precise manner, preventing spillage and waste.
To ensure a clean and safe working environment, the QVC Series Pneumatic Vacuum Feeder is equipped with a dust collection and filtration system. This system captures fine dust particles during material transfer, preventing them from escaping into the surrounding environment and helping to maintain compliance with health and safety standards.
The operation of the QVC Series Pneumatic Vacuum Feeder is based on the principle of vacuum suction. Here's how the system works in a typical industrial setting:
Material Loading: The material to be transferred is placed into the feeding hopper. The hopper may be manually or automatically filled, depending on the application.
Vacuum Creation: The pneumatic suction system activates, generating a vacuum that pulls the material from the hopper into the conveying pipeline.
Material Transport: The material travels through the pipeline, carried by the vacuum force. During this phase, the conveying pipeline is sealed to prevent any leakage or contamination.
Filtration: As the material moves through the pipeline, a filtration system removes dust or fine particles, ensuring that only the intended material reaches the processing equipment.
Discharge and Charging: Once the material reaches the receiving equipment (e.g., mixer, reactor, or hopper), the discharge mechanism releases the material in a controlled and precise manner. The system can be adjusted to ensure that the right amount of material is delivered every time.
This process eliminates the need for manual material handling, reducing human error, contamination risk, and exposure to hazardous materials. The result is an efficient and hygienic system that supports continuous production without interruptions.
