Inert Explosion-Proof INEX Vacuum Conveyors

Inert Explosion-Proof INEX Vacuum Conveyors

Preventing explosion under vacuum

Initially material is sucked into the separator of the INEX system. Before the material is released, the transportation line is closed and the INEX is set under vacuum. Then, the material inside the INEX is fluidized with inert gas (e.g. nitrogen) from the lowest point permeating the powder before finally being released through the systems discharge valve. The concentration of oxygen during discharge typically is below 7% or limited to such a value as to not compromise the inert status of the system to be fed.

For the conveying of hybrid mixtures, the entire vacuum transportation process with an INEX Vacuum Conveying system takes place under inert atmosphere.
