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.
