Vacuum loader

A vacuum-type plastic pellet feeding machine is an automated system designed to transport plastic granules from storage containers (such as bulk bags, hoppers, or sacks) to processing equipment (e.g., injection molding machines, extruders, blow molding machines) efficiently and precisely. the vacuum loader core function is to ensure continuous, stable material supply, enhance production automation, and minimize manual intervention.

  1. Storage Unit: Includes hoppers, bulk bag frames, or suction ports for temporary storage or direct material intake.
  2. Conveyance System:
    • Vacuum Pump: Generates negative pressure to suction pellets through pipelines.
    • Material Separator: Separates pellets from air flow and directs them into the target equipment.
  3. Power Unit: Electric motor or pneumatic system to drive the vacuum pump.
  4. Control System: PLC or touchscreen interface for adjusting feed rate, start/stop functions, and fault alerts.
  5. Filtration & Dust Management: Filters impurities and captures dust to maintain cleanliness and workplace safety.

Key Features

  1. Automated Operation: Enables unmanned material handling, suitable for 24/7 production lines.
  2. Gentle Material Handling: Vacuum suction minimizes pellet damage, preserving material integrity.
  3. High Efficiency: Conveyance rates up to 100–2000 kg/h, adaptable to high-speed production.
  4. Versatility: Compatible with PP, PE, ABS, and other thermoplastics; supports multi-material feeding.
  5. Anti-Clogging Design: Optimized pipeline geometry, vibration assist, or bridge-breaking mechanisms to prevent blockages.
  6. Closed-Loop System: Sealed transportation reduces material loss and dust emissions, meeting environmental standards.

Typical Applications

  • Injection Molding: Automated pellet supply to molding machine hoppers.
  • Extrusion Lines: Continuous feeding for extruders producing pipes, sheets, or profiles.
  • Blow Molding: Material delivery for hollow product manufacturing (e.g., bottles, containers).
  • Recycling Systems: Transporting recycled granules between crushers and pelletizers.
