Dense Phase Vacuum Conveying

The art of gentle conveying of fragile powders by vacuum. The RELCO® dense phase vacuum conveying system is ideally suited for this along with high rates transfer. The art is in the ability to control the powder velocity and pressure. One to stop powder from stalling the other to regulate the speed of powder moving. Every system is custom engineered based on the conveying parameters to provide the ideal solution.
