Key Benefits

  • Dust-Free Operation – Prevents product loss, airborne contamination, and unnecessary cleanup.
  • CIP/SIP Compatibility – Clean-In-Place and Steam-In-Place ready for hygienic applications.
  • Compact, Modular Design – Fits tight spaces and integrates easily into existing setups.
  • Gentle Powder Handling – Maintains product integrity with low-shear transfer.
  • Automated & Accurate – PLC-driven with programmable batch cycles and alarms.
  • Safe for Controlled Zones – Flameproof designs available for regulated environments.

Variants Available

Along with stationary systems, Orchid also offers a Mobile Powder Transfer System (Trolley Type Powder Transfer System) for industries requiring flexibility and mobility.

  • Mobile Operation – Easy movement between different process lines or cleanrooms.
  • Plug & Play Design – Quick connection to utilities for fast deployment.
  • Compact & Flexible – Fits in restricted spaces, can serve multiple production lines.
  • Hygienic & Safe – Suitable for pharma and food where cleanroom mobility is essential.
  • Cost-Effective – Eliminates the need for multiple fixed systems.

Applications Across Industries

  • Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals → API transfer, sterile powder charging, nutraceutical blends.
  • Food & Spices → Hygienic handling of milk powder, proteins, starch, cocoa, and spices.
  • Chemicals & Polymers → Safe transfer of pigments, catalysts, corrosive or volatile powders.
  • Additive Manufacturing → Precise dust-tight handling of metal & plastic powders for 3D printing.

System Overview

The system operates on pneumatic vacuum technology. Material is drawn into a sealed vessel under vacuum and then discharged under controlled pressure into the receiving equipment. Components include:

  • High-performance vacuum pump
  • Filter assembly with regenerable cartridges or HEPA option
  • Automated valves for smooth operation
  • Smart PLC/HMI control panel

👉 This ensures continuous, contamination-free, and low-maintenance transfer.

Technical Highlights

  • Capacity Range: 100 kg/hr – 10 tons/hr (batch transfer)
  • Transfer Distance: Up to 50m (short range, clean environments)
  • Construction: SS304/316L, GMP/FDA compliant, anti-static liners optional
  • Filter System: Regenerable cartridge with optional HEPA
  • Automation: PLC-driven batch transfer with recipe & alarm controls
  • Special Options: Mobile/trolley type systems, flameproof zone designs

❓ Final FAQ – Powder Transfer System

  • 1. What is a Powder Transfer System?
    👉 A Powder Transfer System is an enclosed pneumatic solution for transferring powders and granules safely between containers or process equipment. It ensures dust-free, contamination-free, and safe operation, especially in pharma, food, and chemical industries.
  • 2. How does the Orchid Powder Transfer System work?
    👉 The system uses pneumatic vacuum technology to draw powders into a sealed vessel, and then discharges them under controlled pressure into the receiving equipment. This closed process guarantees clean handling, product integrity, and consistent performance.
  • 3. Which industries use Powder Transfer Systems?
    👉 Orchid’s systems are widely applied in:
    • Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals → API transfer, sterile powders, nutraceutical blends
    • Food & Spices → Milk powder, proteins, starch, cocoa, spices
    • Chemicals & Polymers → Pigments, catalysts, volatile or corrosive powders
    • Additive Manufacturing → Dust-tight transfer of metal and plastic powders for 3D printing
  • 4. What advantages does it have over manual powder handling?
    👉 Manual handling can cause spillage, contamination risks, dust exposure, and inconsistent dosing. Powder Transfer Systems deliver:
    • Safer, cleaner workplaces
    • Consistent batch accuracy
    • Reduced product loss & cleaning effort
    • Better ergonomics and compliance
  • 5. Can one system be used for multiple production lines?
    👉 Yes . Orchid offers a Mobile Powder Transfer System (Trolley Type) that can be moved between different cleanrooms or process areas, making it cost-effective and highly flexible.
  • 6. Is the system suitable for controlled plant environments?
    👉 Yes . Orchid provides CIP/SIP-compatible designs for food & pharma hygiene requirements and flameproof-compliant options for safe operation in regulated plant zones.
