Pneu-Con Inc.

Pneu-Con manufactures handling systems for dry ingredients such as coffee and pellets, offering equipment such as pneumatic conveyors, coffee and pellet loaders, portable hoppers, powder receivers, and dump stations. Highlighted systems include the Coffee Whisper Loader™ Kits, which are pneumatic conveyors designed for coffee roasters to safely and efficiently move green beans to the roaster or roasted beans to the grinder or bagging station. These air-powered pneumatic conveyors feature integrated vacuum motors and are sanitary via the system’s embedded filter-cleaning Vibra-Pulse™ technology. Pneu-Con’s proprietary, gentle SOF Technology™ (spiral open-flow) “virtually eliminates bean breakage, while the programmable flapper assembly completes the seamless hand-off of product.” Other dry product handling solutions from Pneu-Con include a complete line of Bag Dump Stations with optional self-contained dust collection systems, rotary airlocks, take-off boxes, and convey adapters to feed material into a conveying line. Bag Dumps are available in aluminum, 304 stainless steel, or mild carbon steel construction including food-grade sanitary designs.

Pneu Con provides design and engineering services tailored to meet the specific needs of demanding customers in challenging environments in various industries, including dairy, dry ingredients, coffee and tea, powders, and plastics. The process begins with conceptualization, where careful analysis of application requirements, assessment of material suitability for conveying, necessary testing, and addressing specific highlights or challenges take place. Research follows, focusing on additional system requirements and sizing based on the application and objectives. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions; everything is customized to exact specifications. The design phase involves developing detailed plans to define additional features, choose the type of conveying system (pressure or vacuum), and specify sizing for individual parts and equipment. Engineering services encompass the design and supply of equipment and systems. Upon project award, a kick-off meeting initiates the planning phase, establishing timelines and critical paths for a successful launch. Configuration follows, involving 3D drawings, layout planning, equipment lists, and control panel architectures. Once approved, the process moves to implementation, executing project steps, preparing the location and equipment, obtaining external procurements, updating schedules, and conducting a final inspection, including a factory acceptance test (FAT).
