Name: SIMAR - Centralized Conveying System
Brand: SIMAR

Question 1

What is SIMAR's centralized conveying system?

Accepted Answer

SIMAR centralised vacuum conveying links multiple material sources to processing machines, day bins or filling lines through shared ducts and a central vacuum source. FX and FXP loaders or AX separators handle the receiving points under programmable control. Tea and coffee factories gain consistent feeding across several lines from one manageable system.

Question 2

What capacity can it convey?

Accepted Answer

Up to over 3,000 kg/h, depending on the vacuum pump and duct size. This feature is selected according to the material flow, hygiene requirement and conveying rate. dph can match the SIMAR configuration to the wider tea or coffee line.

Question 3

What conveying duct sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

DN 38, 50, 65 or DN 80. This feature is selected according to the material flow, hygiene requirement and conveying rate. dph can match the SIMAR configuration to the wider tea or coffee line.

Question 4

What's the difference between the FX and FXP loaders?

Accepted Answer

FX 3500/5000 use 1.2 or 1.6 m² back-wash filters for dust-containing or easy powders; the FXP versions add 2 or 3 m² jet filters for harder, free-flowing powders. This feature is selected according to the material flow, hygiene requirement and conveying rate. dph can match the SIMAR configuration to the wider tea or coffee line.

Question 5

Can it run dust-free without filters?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SIMAR AX separators provide filter-free, dust-free conveying for suitable materials. Removing the receiver filter reduces filter maintenance and avoids a possible contamination point. The correct separator and vacuum arrangement depend on material behaviour and required rate.

Question 6

Is it suitable for food and pharma?

Accepted Answer

SIMAR stainless-steel or anodised-aluminium construction and easy-clean design meet food and pharmaceutical hygiene requirements. Product-contact areas are accessible for cleaning and inspection, while closed conveying limits environmental contamination. This cleanability helps tea and coffee plants control flavour carry-over during product changes and meet food-safety audits.

Question 7

How is material discharged?

Accepted Answer

Via a gravity discharging flap, a butterfly valve or an airlock valve. This feature is selected according to the material flow, hygiene requirement and conveying rate. dph can match the SIMAR configuration to the wider tea or coffee line.

Question 8

Can it convey sensitive materials like tea or instant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, SIMAR's ConPuls option moves tea and instant powder slowly in dense pulses at low air velocity. This reduces breakage, aroma loss and dust compared with faster dilute-phase transfer. Material trials and route length determine the final configuration.

Question 9

How is it controlled?

Accepted Answer

By a programmable microprocessor control with many optional functions. This feature is selected according to the material flow, hygiene requirement and conveying rate. dph can match the SIMAR configuration to the wider tea or coffee line.

Question 10

Who makes it and where?

Accepted Answer

SIMAR Fördertechnik is a German specialist in vacuum conveying systems for bulk materials, based in Vaihingen/Enz and manufacturing in Germany to food-grade quality standards. Its equipment serves tea, coffee, food, chemical and pharmaceutical plants and is engineered for long service with low maintenance. dph represents SIMAR across the Middle East and can integrate feeding and conveying into complete production lines.
