MAN-PTS-GB, Revision 9, BSC, 15-FEB-2017 8/46
2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PTS technology, developed and patented by Dec, is a proven technology which allows the
transfer and dosing of powder. Due to its unique concept, it is possible to solve various and
complex problems in industrial applications and pilot plants. This manual describes mainly the
standard models used in industrial applications.
Dimensions, choice of materials, etc. of the PTS can be selected according to your needs. In
case you have chosen a special execution, you will find in the technical documentation the
specific data and certificates for your system.
2.1 WARRANTY
The PTS system is guaranteed by the manufacturer as described in the General Sales Conditions,
which are made available at the conclusion of a sales contract.
The instructions and warnings included in this manual must be strictly followed. The performance
guarantee and the manufacturer responsibility become void if the system is not used according
to this instruction manual as well as in cases of misuse, insufficient or inadequate maintenance.
The operator must protect the system against the risk of overpressure.
The guarantee automatically becomes null and void if filters other than those supplied or
expressly authorized by Dec are used.
2.2 APPLICATION
The PTS system has been developed solely for the transfer and dosage of powders. It is not
designed for any other application.
2.3 PATENTS
The PTS technology is patented. All violations thereof (copies, reproductions, transmission of
drawings to a third party, instigation to replicate the system etc.), will be legally prosecuted.
2.4 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The PTS system is an exceptionally effective and reliable method of transferring and dispensing
both dry and wet powders and granules. Its unique filtration concept with a flat membrane
makes it the only vacuum dense-phase system available on the market today. There are
currently over 4000 Powder Transfer Systems operational worldwide.
The PTS challenges convention, using both vacuum and pressure to move powders as if they
were liquid, dispensing with the need for gravity charging, making multi floor processes a
requirement of the past. The system is a significant enhancement to any process, providing total
containment where necessary, but always speeding up production whilst improving safety and
hygiene. Batch time can be substantially reduced and existing process steps can be linked to
each other.
