The Future of Material Handling
How Volkmann UK Vacuum Conveyors Are Transforming Production in the Food & Drink Industry
As consumer demand for convenience, speed, and customisation grows, UK manufacturers are under increasing pressure to modernise their production processes. In this evolving landscape, efficient, flexible, and hygienic material handling has become a critical differentiator, especially within the food and drink sector.
Advanced material handling systems, such as vacuum conveyors, are revolutionising efficiency while reducing reliance on manual labour. Volkmann UK leads the industry in vacuum conveying, delivering high-quality solutions, like the VS Vacuum Conveyors, capable of conveying rates up to 10,000 kg / h. Enabling faster turnaround times and the flexibility to meet fluctuating demand while avoiding production bottlenecks and material flow inefficiencies.
Consumers now expect not only rapid delivery but also greater product variety and personalisation. For manufacturers, this means adopting flexible production lines that can quickly adapt to new product specifications and packaging variations. Volkmann’ s bulk material handling systems support manufacturers in this transition with compact, hygienic, easy-to-clean equipment, enabling seamless product changes with minimal downtime.
Increased speed and efficiency should never come at the expense of safety. Volkmann’ s vacuum conveyors and bulk material solutions are FDA approved and ATEX certified for dust and gas explosion zones with INEX versions also available where required. This ensures that even fragile, hazardous, or abrasive substances can be handled with ease.
For food and drink manufacturers, optimising bulk material handling is a growing priority. Vacuum conveying systems are proving invaluable for transporting powders, granules, and small components safely and efficiently. Volkmann’ s Vacuum Conveyors help manufacturers reduce manual handling, minimise waste, and accelerate conveying times, all while ensuring dust-free transfer. Automating material transfer processes enhances workplace safety, ensures production consistency, and helps businesses keep pace with increased demand.
Investing in the right material handling technologies is key to staying competitive in the industry. The ability to adapt and innovate in these areas will determine which manufacturers thrive in an increasingly digital and on-demand economy.
Volkmann UK’ s continual innovations guarantee the optimum solution for every process. In addition to vacuum conveying systems, Volkmann UK provides custom-designed bulk material handling solutions, including Drum Discharge Systems, Bulk Bag Unloading Stations, and Rip-and- Tip Dump Stations. They offer free, no-obligation on-site trials of their vacuum conveyors, allowing manufacturers to experience first-hand how optimising material transfer can transform production.
