LowPro conveying system, ideal for individual conveying applications for single and multiple material stations.

• Simple, AUTONOMOUS control – only set load times
• New low profile receivers – many technical benefits
• Simple access for cleaning & maintenance

Cost Effective Loading

• Simplified conveying for local materials conveying applications.
• Choice of receiver and vacuum pump sizes.
• Simple autonomous control – extremely user-friendly.

Simple Installation

• Simple plug and play installation.
• Each component connected in sequence.
• Equally effective for single and multiple material applications.

AUTONOMOUS Control

• AUTONOMOUS control – by default LowPro receivers load on a first-in / first-out basis.
• No separate control or complicated set up and settings.
• Simply set load time per receiver.
• Audible & visual alarms – notifies user if material is not loading and if air filter needs attention.

Choice of Vacuum Pumps Available

• Choice of vacuum pumps according to application type and throughout requirements.
• Pump range includes single-phase brushless motor, to three-phase pumps and filters.
• Single pump services multiple receivers – flexible, expandable and cost efficient.

Low Profile Receiver Design

• Loading turned onto its side.
• Reduced height reduces center of gravity – better machine stability.
• Unique benefits for low headroom installations.

Faster Materials Discharge 

• LowPro receivers are designed with discharge flaps the length of the receiver.
• This allows rapid emptying every cycle – typically less than 2 seconds.
• Benefits poorer flowing materials like many regrinds.

Cleaning & Maintenance – Simplified

• All operating parts of LowPro receiver fit into the quick release red module – simple maintenance.
• Large access space inside the receiver makes cleaning simple.
