Volkmann Pneumatic Vacuum Conveyor Controls Now UL Certified

Volkmann USA has earned the UL 508A certification for its pneumatic vacuum conveyor controls.

Secured to support operator safety and help speed the conveyor installation process, the certification documents conformance with the National Electric Code (NEC) standard for the safe installation and electrical wiring of equipment in the US and Canada. Volkmann conveyor controllers meet the UL 508A Industrial Control Panel Program requirements by featuring a high level of wiring and motor protection, quality electrical components, and clear safety markings.

The UL-certified controllers are included as standard equipment on the company's PPC Series pneumatic vacuum conveying systems for sanitary pharmaceutical processing, and on the versatile VS Series for most powder and bulk material transfer applications. The Volkmann conveyors are also explosion-proof by design and suitable for installation in hazardous environments.

The UL-certified conveyor controllers, and conveying systems, may be tested in full size in the company's Bristol, PA, test facility. Testing may be viewed live on-site or streamed live online.
