Controlled, safe and hygienic transportation of powder and granular materials along the production line is critical for quality, efficiency and occupational safety in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetics industries.
The pivaCON Vacuum Conveyor developed by PivaSiS Engineering responds to this need with modern engineering solutions. With its compact structure, energy efficiency, GMP & FDA compliant hygienic design and ATEX certified safety, it sets a new standard in powder transfer.
– Closed and hygienic transport: pivaCON carries out the material transfer in a completely closed system. This eliminates the risk of dust spread, product loss and contamination.
– Product integrity: The raw material is protected from moisture, heat or environmental influences during transportation.
– Flexible integration: pivaCON can be integrated with bag emptying units, bigbag systems, screening or mixing units (pivaFiLL, pivaSiFT, pivaMiX, etc.).
– Automation compatibility: PLC-controlled versions can be equipped with automatic start/stop cycle, CIP modes and sensors.
– Quiet and efficient operation: Air flow is optimized, achieving high conveying capacity with low energy consumption.
pivaCON Vacuum Conveyor has been developed in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and FDA 21 CFR standards.
– Surface quality: All surfaces in contact with the product are made of AISI 316L stainless steel.
– Cleanability: The system is suitable for CIP (Clean-In-Place) or manual dry cleaning options.
– Gaskets: Elastomers that may come into contact with food and pharmaceuticals comply with the requirements of FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and EC 1935/2004.
– Ease of assembly and disassembly: Tri-clamp connections and modular housing construction allow for quick disassembly and assembly.
– Validation files: IQ/OQ/PQ documentation for GMP applications can be provided together with material certificates and cleaning procedures.
pivaCON Vacuum Conveyor is designed to operate safely in Zone 20 indoor and Zone 21/22 outdoor conditions in accordance with ATEX 2014/34/EU directive.
– Antistatic structure: All components in contact with the product are potential equalized with grounding points.
– Pressure relief and filtration: Conical filters prevent product loss and protect the vacuum pump with high filtration efficiency.
– Explosion risk control: The appropriate category and temperature class is selected based on the ATEX assessment of the dust according to Kst, Pmax and MEC values.
