Aerocon<br />

Corporate Description<br />

Aerocon was formed as the mechanical<br />

conveyor division of VAC-U-MAX <strong>to</strong><br />

capitalize on the need for a quiet, dust free,<br />

gentle and simple means of mechanically<br />

conveying dry bulk materials using the de -<br />

vel oping technique of Aero-Conveying.<br />

Building upon 40 years of powder handling<br />

technology, with the combined experiences<br />

of Aerocon employees, we have developed a<br />

new, cleaner and more efficient range of<br />

conveyors that more closely reflects the<br />

market’s demand for a multiplane,<br />

multiple-inlet, filterless conveying system.<br />

Markets Served<br />

Aerocon mechanical conveyors are sold<br />

throughout the world. The result of aeroconveying<br />

is high volume, controlled<br />

transfer of dry materials such as chemical<br />

products, foods, and pharmaceuticals<br />

efficiently and economically, with little if<br />

any effect on the material, however friable<br />

and degradable.<br />

Technical Services<br />

As with many aspects of powder processing,<br />

a good product or concept is not sufficient<br />

<strong>to</strong> guarantee a successful appli cation.<br />

Equally important is the ability <strong>to</strong> apply<br />

that knowledge. In Aero-Conveying, much<br />

of the industry had looked upon the<br />

conveyor as a straight line, point-<strong>to</strong>-point,<br />

single-speed machine. Aerocon was<br />

responsible for changing that view.<br />

Application of the technique is now more<br />

important and consequently, so is product<br />

testing. VAC-U-MAX has extensive<br />

experience and a state-of-the-art test lab that<br />

is equipped with a full range of Aero-<br />

Conveyors. Aerocon has full access <strong>to</strong> this<br />

facility and <strong>to</strong> the extensive engineering<br />

department with its CAD equipment. Add<br />

<strong>to</strong> this a modern manufacturing facility that<br />

includes dairy standard production and the<br />

Aerocon facilities become some of the best<br />

available on the market <strong>to</strong>day. Aerocon has<br />

access <strong>to</strong> 85 employees covering all aspects<br />

of the powder handling business.<br />

Major Products<br />

The MKII Aero-Conveyor, which is<br />

manufactured in the USA, covers a wider<br />

range of applications, including 90° corners<br />

and long radius sweep bend versions. In<br />

addition, the developments of Aero-<br />

Conveying that resulted in the three phases<br />

of conveying have now been incorporated<br />

in<strong>to</strong> Aerocon.<br />

The addition of a unique and awardwinning<br />

Bulk Bag Unloader unit, allpurpose<br />

Bag Dump Station, and in-house<br />

control panel manufacturing capabilities<br />

enables us <strong>to</strong> provide turnkey systems that<br />

meet the needs of <strong>to</strong>day’s demanding<br />

marketplace.<br />
