HELIOvac  hopper loader control-module MCM

HELIOS-MCM (Microcontroller Module) to control and manage the conveyors and vacuum stations with the HELIOvac software. As a touch screen- or PC version available. Also fits to hopper loaders of all other manufacturers. Update your material supply.


Vacuum Conveyors

Flexible vacuum systems – Professional vacuum conveyors


HFE Vakuumfördergeräte

Vacuum hopper loaders


Abrasive bulk materials – such as glass fibre reinforced plastics resins, glass fibres etc. – wear conventional hopper loaders of Aluminium cast or stainless steel within a shortest period. Therefore HELIOS build vacuum hopper loaders of extremely wear-resistant borosilicate glass. Among the high-resistance to abrasion, the conveyed material is also 100% visible all side enabling control of conveying process at any time. Combined with a single control unit, the HELIOS vacuum hopper loader for resins provides a single conveying unit and combined with the HELIOvac software, a centralized conveying system.




HELIOvac is a universal conveying control up to 128 conveying points and 32 vacuum lines, consisting of MCM (micro controller module), Windows based sofware (from XP onwards)and CAN- Bus with 24 V power supply. One can plug any PC as a server via USB/CAN-Module. Additionally, all company PC ́s can be used as satellite working places via company net work (LAN).

SFG- powder, regrind, fibres.



Universally operating hopper loader unit for automatic feeding of extruders, processing machines, containers and storage silos with powder, regrind and granules. Basing on large filter surface area with easy access for cleaning together with large conical outlet diameter, the hopper loader type is especially designed for powdered and poorly flowing materials. Used as single controlled unit or integrated in a centralized material conveying system.



Design characteristics


  • high efficiency hose filter with
    compressed air filter dedusting
  • filter plate/ filters can easily
    be replaced at material change
  • parts in contact with
    conveyed material of INOX
  • electro-pneumatically operated
    conical discharge valve, silicon coated
  • lever indicator signal by rotating wing
  • easy access for filter servicing
  • electric control system
  • large filter surface area
  • large outlet diameter enabling
    short discharge period
  • temperature range from -10°C to +80°C


Special equipments


  • continuous operation is possible by
    using a rotary feeder instead of outlet valve
  • specific filters and filter kits
  • nozzles at conical bottom for
    fluidisation of sticky materials
  • max. filling level indicator at hopper
  • master control unit to control
    max. 5 hopper loader unit under 1 vacuum line
  • ATEX application, zone 22 and 21
