A modified material transfer pump provides packaging automation professionals with the ability to move various types of wrapped materials from one place to another without unwrapping or unravelling.

The KV Vacuum Shop has a new, modified material transfer pump that provides packaging automation professionals with the ability to move various types of wrapped materials from one place to another without unwrapping or unravelling.

Powered by compressed air, the modified material transfer pumps are ideal for automating the bulk packaging operations for wrapped foods, confectionary, and medical products such as surgical swabs.

By modifying the internal orifices of the material transfer pump, KV can direct the airflow pattern to control which way the product spins as it passes through the pump ensuring that the product stays wrapped.

The material transfer pumps offer instantaneous vacuum flow and high air velocity allowing material to pass through at high speeds without interference.

Depending on the product size and shape, KV recommends pulsing the air to unscramble materials and eliminate clogging.

The material transfer pump is a safe and efficient alternative for transferring products direct to assembly or packing areas.

Material transfer pumps are available in anodised aluminium in 14 standard sizes, with internal diameters from 3.2 to 50mm, and vacuum flow rates from 90 to 8500nl/min.

Options include custom sizes, internal or external threaded ends, and alternative materials such as stainless steel.
