Uni-Vac Series Sanitary Pneumatic Vacuum Conveying Systems

Hanningfield Uni-Vac vacuum conveying systems transfer powders, granules and capsules through enclosed pipelines. The dust-tight transfer prevents product segregation and protects operators. Automated reverse-jet filter purging ensures continuous process feed.

Uni-Vac sanitary pneumatic vacuum conveyors and transfer receivers
Dust-free loading of blenders, tablet presses, and capsule fillers
Transfer rates up to 4000 kg/h, vacuum to -80 kPa, ATEX rated design
Filter cartridges, pinch valves, silicone sleeves, and sanitary seals

Uni-Dust Series High-Efficiency Powder Recovery Cyclones

Hanningfield Uni-Dust cyclones recover 90 to 99.9% of process powder without fabric filter bags. The filterless design eliminates batch cross-contamination and simplifies washdown. The technology was proven at Aquaplasma Technologies in Adelaide for solids separation.

Hanningfield Process Systems powder handling and processing portfolio

British engineering firm Hanningfield Process Systems Ltd specializes in the design and manufacture of high-integrity powder processing equipment for pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and nuclear industries.

All machines are manufactured at the company facility in Rochford, Essex, United Kingdom, adhering strictly to ISO 9001 quality management and cGMP standards.

Built from sanitary AISI 316L stainless steel with mirror-polished contact parts, the equipment eliminates dead legs and prevents batch cross-contamination.

Applications in oral solid dosage pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals

Hanningfield processing systems operate across pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in more than 30 countries, supporting oral solid dosage (OSD) manufacturing from raw ingredient milling to tablet compression.

Uni-Mill conical mills and Uni-Vac vacuum conveying systems establish an enclosed, dust-tight material transfer pipeline. SpareX provides international supply and engineering coordination for Hanningfield equipment, backed by full factory qualification packages (DQ/IQ/OQ).

Design advantages and capabilities of the Uni-Mill conical mill series

Hanningfield under-driven Uni-Mill conical screen mills feature through-the-wall mounting capability, isolating drives and gearboxes within non-classified technical service areas. This sanitary layout minimizes thermal transfer to sensitive active ingredients.

Interchangeable round-hole, square-hole, and Conidur raised-hole screens paired with matched impellers deliver precise particle size distributions from 150 microns upwards. Tool-free tooling changes expedite product changeovers between production runs.

Enclosed vacuum conveying and high-efficiency Uni-Dust powder recovery

Uni-Vac pneumatic vacuum transfer systems automate the loading of blenders, tablet presses, and capsule fillers without cleanroom dust release. Integrated reverse-jet filter cleaning maintains peak airflow during continuous conveying cycles.

In fluid bed drying and compression operations, Uni-Dust cyclones achieve powder separation efficiencies between 90% and 99.9% without fabric bags. This proven separation capability was documented at Aquaplasma Technologies in Adelaide, Australia.

High-capacity security sifting and lump-breaking with Kwik-Sift

Kwik-Sift centrifugal rotary sifters provide high-speed security screening and de-agglomeration of bulk powders ahead of final blending. The cantilevered shaft eliminates front-end bearings, ensuring zero lubricant contact with process materials.

The quick-strip design enables operators to remove screens and wash down contact chambers without tools. Systems integrate seamlessly with Uni-Hoist lifting columns and Uni-Blend tumbling blenders.

Technical parameters and equipment specification for procurement

Specifying Hanningfield powder processing machinery requires verifying the model code on the manufacturer identification plate, target throughput, and bulk density of the powder formulation. Key variables include screen diameter, motor power, and ATEX explosion ratings.

SpareX application engineers evaluate user requirement specifications (URS), assist in facility layout planning, and manage direct delivery of validated Hanningfield process equipment worldwide.
