Colby has the know-how and broad range of components
required to configure the best powder conveying system for many
applications.
From non-friable and non-sanitary powders through to
high-value, fragile pharmaceuticals, Colby can supply all the components and
systems required.
Both standard products and fragile powders can be
transported under lean-phase or dense-phase, using pressure or vacuum.
Our method for conveying fragile products is known as
"Colbytrans". The system uses patented technology to provide the most
gentle and reliable means yet developed for conveying a broad range of powdered
products, most notably dairy powders.
Colbytrans is ideal for many applications. Because the
product is transported pneumatically in stainless steel tubes and vessels, the
Colbytrans system meets all sanitary standards. Where necessary, the entire
system can be atmospherically sealed, evacuated and filled with an inert gas,
ready for final packaging.
Colbytrans systems are easy to install and simple to use,
clean and maintain. Low product velocity means minimal damage to the powder
particles. Because only small quantities of air or gas are used, filters are
small and easy to service.
