- Safe, Silent, and Hygienic: The KMG Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS) prioritises safety, silence, and hygiene in its design. These characteristics are crucial in food manufacturing, where cleanliness and efficiency go hand in hand.
- Quick Change Parts: When it comes to maintenance and cleaning, the VLS makes it easy. It’s designed for quick changeovers, and a single operator can strip it down, ensuring minimal downtime and operational efficiency.
- Contact Parts: The VLS is constructed with materials that meet the highest standards of food safety. This includes contact parts made from stainless steel or food-grade plastic, keeping the conveyed powders uncontaminated.
- Minimal Moving Parts: With no high-level motor and minimal moving components, the VLS is not only quieter but also less prone to wear and tear. This is a significant advantage in terms of maintenance and reliability.
- Works in Conjunction with KMG Loss in Weight: For even more precision in ingredient handling, the VLS can be synchronised perfectly with the KMG Loss in Weight system, ensuring the accurate delivery of powders.
- Synchronises Perfectly with the KMG PDU Flavour Feeder: To streamline the flavouring process, the VLS works in perfect harmony with the KMG PDU Flavour Feeder. This synchronisation optimises the production line’s efficiency and precision.
- Bulk Hopper with KMG Air Filtration Unit: To maintain hygiene and air quality, the VLS can be equipped with a KMG Air Filtration Unit, further ensuring that the conveyed powders remain pristine.
- Minimal Guarding: Unlike traditional screw elevators that typically have moving agitators, the VLS requires minimal guarding, enhancing both safety and operational visibility.
- Complete Powder Utilisation: One standout feature of the VLS is its efficiency in utilising the conveyed powders. Unlike traditional screw elevators that often leave behind significant residues, the VLS ensures that nearly all the seasoning or product is removed from the hopper when running out.

Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS)
In the world of snack food manufacturing, precision isn't just an option; it's an absolute necessity. One vital yet often missed component that ensures this precision is the Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS) by KMG. This remarkable piece of machinery is designed to convey batches of powders efficiently and hygienically within ducting, making it a cornerstone of snack food production.
Features
- The KMG Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS) is Safe, silent and hygienic.
- Quick change parts and easily stripped down by a single operator
- Contact parts Stainless steel or food grade plastic
- No high level motor and minimal moving parts
- Works in conjunction with KMG Loss in Weight
- Synchronises perfectly with the KMG PDU Flavour feeder
- Bulk hopper available with KMG Air Filtration Unit
- Minimal guarding because there is no moving agitator
- All seasoning/product is removed from the KMG Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS) hopper when running out compared to a traditional screw elevator would leave 1 to 2 kg in the bottom of the hopper when disassembled for cleaning.
The KMG Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS) is an essential element for snack food manufacturing. Installed at high levels in the production process, the VLS conveys batches of powder on demand. Its design facilitates straightforward disassembly for cleaning, which is crucial in maintaining the highest hygiene standards. The ground-level conical bulk hopper, constructed from stainless steel, adds mobility and durability to the system. An out-of-balance motor is used to agitate the powder within the hopper, promoting even flow. This motor can be installed either actively on the side of the hopper unit or passively on a static platform where the hopper can be docked. Sanitary clamps are used for all fittings and ducting, making assembly and disassembly a breeze. This design detail is not just convenient but also aligns with the stringent hygiene standards of the food industry. KMG Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS) ensures that every batch of powder is delivered with precision and cleanliness, maintaining the integrity of your products and the trust of your consumers. With features that prioritise safety, hygiene, and efficiency, the VLS is a testament to KMG's commitment to elevating the standards of snack food manufacturing.
