Series 2400 Vacuum Receivers Overview

Series 2400 Powder and Pellet Receivers provide high capacity sequencing systems for powder, pellet, regrind and granular materials. Applications include railcar unloading, silo to daybin transfer, in-plant transfer and feeder refill.

Various Series 2400 Powder and Pellet receiver models are available in carbon steel (painted), stainless steel or aluminum. Each receiver has a stainless check valve to allow multiple receivers to draw material from a common conveying line. All models feature quick connect clamps for easy cleaning and filter maintenance.

Use the chart below to find the pellet or powder conveyor closest to the approximate receiving volume and conveying rate your application requires.
