Powder Transfer System

The Powder Transfer System (PTS) is designed for efficient pneumatic conveying of pharmaceutical powders, granules, and suitable bulk solid materials between processing equipment. It operates by using a pressure differential to move material through an enclosed conveying pipeline, reducing the need for repeated manual material handling.

Intence Engineering offers Powder Transfer Systems for pharmaceutical material handling and process integration applications. The equipment supports the transfer of powders and granules between suitable containers, granulators, mills, sifters, blenders, and other manufacturing equipment. Its documented range includes automatic filter purging, configurable mounting arrangements, and control options to support different production requirements.

Applications of Powder Transfer System

1. Pharmaceutical Powder Transfer: Conveying suitable pharmaceutical powders, excipients, and raw materials from storage containers or feeding stations to downstream processing equipment.
2. Granule Conveying: Transferring suitable pharmaceutical granules between drying, milling, sifting, and blending operations, subject to the material’s conveying characteristics.
3. Equipment Charging: Supporting the loading of suitable granulators, blenders, mills, sifters, and process vessels through compatible conveying and receiving systems.
4. Integrated Material Handling: Connecting compatible manufacturing stages through enclosed powder conveying arrangements to reduce intermediate material handling.

Key Features

• Pneumatic Conveying Principle: Uses a pressure differential and controlled airflow to transfer suitable powders and granules through a pipeline.
• Enclosed Material Transfer: Enclosed conveying arrangements help reduce powder spillage, dust release, and direct operator contact during material movement.
• Automatic Filter Purging: Intence’s documented equipment range includes an automatic filter purging arrangement to support filter cleaning during conveying operations.
• Powder and Granule Handling: Supports transfer of suitable dry powders and granular materials between pharmaceutical processing stages.
• Flexible Equipment Integration: Can be configured to connect compatible process vessels, manufacturing machines, and material handling containers.
• Configurable Mounting: The documented powder conveying portfolio includes different mounting arrangements according to equipment layout and production requirements.
• Process Control Options: HMI-based control arrangements are documented as available configurations within the equipment range.
• Buffer Vessel Integration: Buffer vessels may be incorporated to support intermediate material collection and controlled feeding to downstream processes.
• Reduced Manual Handling: Mechanized conveying reduces the need for manual lifting and transfer of bulk powders between suitable equipment.
