If you manufacture products or work in an industrial setting you might have considered purchasing a Vacuum conveying System to help your business become more effective and efficient. These systems can be used to move items across large distances without the need for forklifts or other machinery having to carry the items from one location to another. There are many benefits to using vacuum conveyors and here are just a few of them for you to consider.
Material handling – moving items by forklift can cause materials to be knocked around. Vacuum conveying is a gentle way of moving items as it is a closed pipe system. This means that food items, or pharmaceutical products and ingredients can be transported safely.
Contamination and hygiene – moving items by hand can lead to hygiene issues and also contamination of both the product being moved and also of the outside environment. This can compromise the product and the health and safety of workers. As the vacuum system is an enclosed one this helps to ensure the health and hygiene of the product, the working environment and any workers.
Dust control – dust can cause problems for workers in terms of their health and it can also contaminate products. Again vacuum systems allow for reduced dust creation and this is incredibly important when working with construction materials such as grit and sand.
Efficiency – it is much quicker to move items by vacuum system than it is to use transport vehicles and individual workers. This then leads to better productivity within a business.
