Industrial performance with a range of pump options and line sizes

Delivers 8000 to 30,000 pounds per hour over long distance. Throughput rates up to 15,000 lbs/hr for 4-inch line size, 20,000 lbs/hr for 5-inch, and 30,000 lbs/hr for 6- inch lines.

System flexibility for your needs

The DPDM (dual-pump, dual-motor) system gives flexibility in placement of the pump in relationship to the pickup and delivery points thanks to up to 100 HP available, you’ll have no shortage of power. The SPSM system (50 HP single-pump, single-motor) can be positioned halfway between the pickup and delivery point. This allows the pump to use both the vacuum and pressure sides to operate for conveying resin.

Aftercooler on pressure blower

To reduce blower discharge temperatures, which will reduce angel hair creation.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on vacuum and pressure blowers

For utilizing controlled velocities for conveying, and energy savings.

Separate receivers to prevent cross-contamination.
