Powder Transfer System

Introduction

Kerone’s Powder Transfer Systems are engineered for safe, dust-free, and efficient movement of powders, granules, and bulk solids across process units. These systems use pneumatic vacuum, pressure conveying, or mechanical transfer to ensure contamination-free material handling. Designed to handle cohesive, free-flowing, hygroscopic, or hazardous powders, the systems ensure high throughput, operator safety, and minimal material loss.

These systems are essential in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and nutraceutical industries where contamination prevention, operator safety, and accurate material transfer are critical requirements. Kerone Powder Transfer Systems utilize vacuum conveying, pneumatic conveying, and mechanical transfer methods to move materials from storage vessels to process equipment, from drums to reactors, or between processing stages — all in a completely enclosed and dust-free manner.

Why Choose Kerone Powder Transfer System

Kerone focuses on flow dynamics, powder rheology, dust containment, and integration requirements. The systems provide automated transfer from bags, hoppers, mills, dryers, sifters, reactors, and mixers, ensuring closed-loop handling. This eliminates manual scooping, improves hygiene, reduces occupational hazards, and enhances batch consistency.
Kerone understands the challenges of handling hazardous, potent, or hygroscopic powders and designs systems that provide maximum operator protection while ensuring full material recovery and minimal product loss. All systems are built from pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel, designed for easy cleaning, and validated to meet GMP, ATEX, and containment guidelines. Kerone’s expertise in integrating transfer systems with upstream and downstream process equipment makes them a comprehensive process solutions partner.

Types and Features of Powder Transfer System

Kerone’s Powder Transfer Systems encompass a wide range of conveying technologies engineered for precision, hygiene, and dust-free handling. The vacuum conveying systems use controlled negative pressure to gently pull powders through sealed sanitary pipelines, ensuring clean transfer for sensitive or fine materials; while the pressure conveying systems employ compressed air to push powders over longer distances with high flow consistency and reduced bottlenecks. For fragile, abrasive, or high-density powders, the dense-phase conveying systems transport materials in slow-moving slugs, significantly reducing particle degradation and segregation. Mechanical options include screw conveyors, which offer uniform discharge and metered powder movement using a rotating helical screw, and flexible auger conveyors, which provide route flexibility with a spiral auger capable of navigating bends and complex plant layouts without compromising material flow. Supporting these systems are transfer hoppers and receivers, equipped with filtration, level sensing, and automated discharge functions to ensure uninterrupted conveying cycles and accurate batch feeding. Together, these conveying solutions deliver hygienic, sealed, and highly controlled powder movement suited for industries with strict material integrity and safety requirements.
