Preventive Maintenance for Maximum Efficiency
Every customer that implements a new bulk material handling system ultimately requires commissioning, startup support, and operator training. These services have long been a core part of our approach. We take pride in coordinating system startup and ensuring the equipment we design and manufacture is integrated, operational, and supported from day one.

Flat Filters
Flat filters available in plain felt configurations as well as coated with PTFE (Teflon) film-laminated media, High-temperature rated media, Dairy/Food-grade applications.
Flex Hoses
PVC flexible hose with integrated ground wire. Complies with USDA and FDA standards. Suitable for all types of applications between -4 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Retrofit Kits for Loaders
Loaders built before 2018 have motors that have become obsolete. Pneu-con offers the ability to upgrade your old loader motor without having to change your whole system. Purchase this retro-fit kit and perform the change yourself or send your loader in and we will make the change.
Blower Packages
Custom-designed and engineered vacuum and pressure blowers that provide the correct amount of CFM of airflow required to pick up and convey any type of dry bulk product. Pneu-Con’s positive displacement blower packages combine the most efficient air source available with low maintenance.
Belt-drive for optimal system sizing, our blower packages are individually designed with the proper cubic feet-per-minute (CPFM) of airflow for conveying a specific material. We analyze and model every application to assist us in recommending the correct power source.
Bag Dump Station
Pneu-Con offers a complete line of Bag Dump Stations with optional self-contained dust collection systems, rotary airlocks, take-off boxes, or 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 also engineers and manufactures complete pneumatic conveying systems to incorporate with the Bag Dump Stations.
Control Panels
Pneu-Con offers a complete series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to automate most pneumatic conveying systems. Pneu-Con’s control panels are housed in NEMA 1-rated enclosures with hinged access door and configured for 120VAC/01/60Hz standard. 240VDC/01 and other electrical power options are available.
Conveying Adapters
Custom fabricated adapters designed to customer specification. These adapters can be created out of various materials, different shapes, and any type of connection needed.

Recommended Spare Parts Replacement Schedule
| Part / Accessory | Where Used | Suggested Replacement Frequency | Severity of Failure | Consequences of Failure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vacuum motors | Used in self-contained vacuum loaders (aka Whisper Loaders). | Motors should be replaced every 3-6 months or 1500 hours of use, whichever comes first. | HIGH | System down until replaced. |
| Cartridge filters | Used in PR receivers and whisper loader receives Bag dump stations, bin vent filters. | Cartridge filters should be replaced every 30-60 days. More aggressive material may be required to be changed more frequently. | HIGH | An overly used filter will wear down and lose filtration efficiency. This can cause product to leak into the motor causing the motor to fail prematurely. |
| "Flat" filters | Used in VP receivers and Whisper Loaders. | Flat filters should be replaced every 60-90 days. More aggressive material may be required to be changed more frequently. | MEDIUM | An overly used filter reduces air flow, which reduces overall capacity, and in systems with integrated vacuums, shortens the life of the system motor. |
| Self-contained loader retrofit kit | Discontinuation of Motors with brushless motor for SC2000s and SC2500s (models pre-2019). | Motors should be replaced every 3-6 months of use. | HIGH | System down until replaced. |
| Proximity switch | All loaders and receivers with flapper discharge. | Consider back ups to keep you from going down should one get broken or wet. | HIGH | System down until replaced. |
| Flex tubing and hoses | All loaders and receivers. | Every 9-12 months depending on operating environment. | MEDIUM | Old tubing will eventually crack, reducing throughput capacity. |
| Gaskets | Used in receivers, self-contained loaders. | Replace every 3-6 months. A cracked or worn gasket will reduce vacuum due to cracking. Keep several spares in stock and replace as necessary. | MEDIUM | Reduction in throughput capacity. |
| White Gaskets | Used in receivers, self-contained loaders, portable feed bin hoppers with lids, bag dumps, access doors on receivers. | Replace every 3-6 months. A cracked or worn gasket will reduce vacuum due to cracking. Keep a spare or two in stock and replace as necessary. | MEDIUM | Reduction in throughput capacity. |
| White Actuator Disk and assembly | Vacuum control and vacuum breaker valves in central powered systems. | Typically annually. Inspect quarterly for excess wear. Keep a spare in stock. | HIGH | System down until replaced. |
| Pulse valve and solenoid | Receiver, Loaders, Bin-vents, Bag dump stations. | Keep a spare or two in stock and replace as necessary. | MEDIUM | Not pulsing filters will cause build up in material on the filter area and loss of airflow affecting performance. |
| Non-VS Panel Relays | All non-VS loaders. | Consider back ups to keep you from going down. | HIGH | System down until replaced. |
