The Alfa Laval Vortex Bulk Booster is a high-performance pneumatic conveying line booster. It maintains constant conveying pressure in bulk transport lines and enhances the rate of transfer of bulk materials (especially powders) in a safe and hygienic way.
Enhanced transfer rates for large volumes of dry bulk
Efficiently maintains bulk conveyance rates over long distances
Safe, simple, robust design – no moving parts
Low maintenance with easy to replace internals
Easily retrofitted into existing transfer piping
The Alfa Laval Vortex Bulk Booster is a simple device that can be easily installed in bulk conveyance lines to boost transfer rates of bulk material.
How it works
Vortex bulk booster
The Alfa Laval Vortex Bulk Booster is designed for the transfer line of a positive, dilute-phase conveying system. Air (from an air compressor or blower) is supplied to the air inlet of the Bulk Booster. When the air passes through the Bulk Booster nozzle, the increase in velocity generates a partial vacuum that sucks the upstream bulk material through the transfer line. The added air raises the conveying pressure in the downstream line, which propels the bulk material and maintains a high rate of flow.
