VAC-U-MAX Co.

About VAC-U-MAX Co.

VAC-U-MAX specializes in the design and manufacture of pneumatic conveying components, systems, controls, and support equipment for vacuum conveying, batching, and weighing of dry bulk materials.

With a VAC-U-MAX pneumatic conveying system on site, bulk materials move gently and quickly from point to point, with nothing in the way to impede the efficiency of material movement. The primary technology for conveying is vacuum, and additionally, VAC-U-MAX provides positive pressure pneumatic systems, as well as mechanical conveyors, flexible screw conveyors and industrial vacuum cleaning units and systems.

An equally important activity is design and manufacture of heavy duty industrial vacuum cleaners, ranging from small air and electric powered drum-styled units to large electric and diesel powered central units.

Technical Services:

After consultation with a customer to arrive at system design and equipment specifications, customer`s materials can be tested for flow characteristics and other qualities under simulated conditions in the company`s well-equipped test laboratory. Equipment designs are rendered on CAD. Drawings can be provided on Disk. Complete installation, startup, operator training and follow-up support are offered.

Industrial Vacuum Cleaners:
VAC-U-MAX is a premier manufacturer of industrial vacuum cleaners for manufacturing and municipal facilities, government installations and environmental sites. VAC-U-MAX heavy-duty industrial vacuums improve your facility´s cleanliness, improve working conditions and safety for your employees, reduce down-time of valuable production equipment, enhance your quality control efforts and recycle material previously considered as waste. For more information: http://www.vac-u-max.com/landingVacuum.cfm

Wet and dry applications include housekeeping of dust on floors, walls, and machine surfaces, bulk powder spill recovery, liquid spill cleanup, sump cleaning and tank emptying, and process clean-out. Custom-engineered vacuum cleaning systems are also available. For more information: http://www.vac-u-max.com/vacuum.asp

Flexible Screw Conveyors
VAC-U-MAX Flexible Screw Conveyors systems are engineered to transport dry bulk materials. They convey powders and granular material without separation of product. They are great for Bulk Bag Discharging and Bulk Bag Filling. The Flexible Screw Conveyor system utilizes a stainless steel or carbon steel one-piece helix, which is enclosed within a stationary plastic tubing, for transferring material from its feed hopper to the discharge point, quickly and efficiently. For more information: http://www.vac-u-max.com/flexible_screws.html

Aero-Mechanical Conveyors
Aero-Conveying is best defined as the movement of material using the desirable features of both pneumatic and mechanical conveying, and eliminating most of the disadvantages. The result is high volume, controlled transfer of dry materials (such as foods, pharmaceuticals, and chemical products), efficiently and economically, with little, if any, effect on the material, however friable and degradable.
