Overview

Transporting powdered products can require both vacuum suction and pressure discharge, particularly when operators need to pack, unpack and transfer material between different types of containers. A versatile powder transfer system can reduce these operational limitations by combining both capabilities on a single vehicle.DELISLE Group, a major operator in the French goods transport sector, required a highly versatile solution for a suction tanker designed for the packing, unpacking and transportation of powdered products. Ingersoll Rand Transport Solutions responded with an integrated system combining a Hibon VTB820 vacuum pump and Gardner Denver XK18 compressor. The result gives DELISLE Group an autonomous solution capable of vacuuming or pressure-discharging powdered products depending on the requirements of each customer application.

Challenge: Creating a More Versatile Powder Transfer Tanker

DELISLE Group needed a suction tanker capable of handling different stages of powdered material transport, including packing, unpacking and product transfer. The key requirement was versatility. Instead of limiting the tanker to either suction or pressure discharge, the customer wanted a solution capable of accommodating different powder transfer requirements.This meant the equipment had to:
  • Support vacuum suction and pressure discharge.
  • Provide the airflow and vacuum performance required for powder transfer.
  • Enable greater operating autonomy.
  • Handle different customer container configurations.
  • Combine the technologies within one integrated tanker solution.

Solution: VTB820 Vacuum Pump and XK18 Compressor

The solution combines vacuum and pressure technologies from across the Ingersoll Rand Transport Solutions portfolio.The tanker incorporates:The VTB820 vacuum pump provides up to 2,800 m³/h of suction flow at 90% vacuum, enabling powerful suction for powder transfer operations. The XK18 compressor provides 1,000 m³/h of pressure flow at a maximum pressure of 2.2 bar(g), supporting the pressure side of the product-transfer process. Both technologies are hydraulically driven through the customized system fitted to the tractor unit. Together, they create a modular, integrated solution capable of switching between vacuum and pressure requirements.

Impact and Results

The combined vacuum and pressure system provides DELISLE Group with what the source describes as a“Swiss Army knife” for powder transfer operations.The principal benefits include:
  • High operating versatility: one tanker combines suction and pressure discharge capabilities.
  • Autonomous powder transfer: the vehicle can vacuum and/or push material depending on the application.
  • High suction capacity: the VTB820 provides up to 2,800 m³/h at 90% vacuum.
  • Pressure discharge performance: the XK18 provides 1,000 m³/h at a maximum of 2.2 bar(g).
  • Flexible container handling: the solution was developed to transfer powdered products into different customer container types.
  • Integrated hydraulic operation: both technologies are operated through a customized hydraulic system installed on the road tractor.
By integrating both technologies into one system, the tanker gives DELISLE Group the flexibility to respond to different powder transport and transfer requirements without being limited to a single transfer method.

Key Takeaways

  • A combined vacuum and pressure powder transfer system can provide greater flexibility for suction tanker operations.
  • The VTB820 vacuum pump provides up to 2,800 m³/h suction flow at 90% vacuum.
  • The XK18 compressor provides 1,000 m³/h pressure flow at up to 2.2 bar(g).
  • Both units are hydraulically driven through a customized system.
  • The installation supports packing, unpacking and transportation of powdered products.
  • Combining suction and pressure technologies gives DELISLE Group greater autonomy when transferring material into different customer containers.
