Exhibitor Profile

Floor Plan

For the dust-free transfer of powders and granules HETHON has designed the VacuFeed: a vacuum conveyor that combines all the advantages of various existing equipment into one machine.

The VacuFeed can serve as a product feeder and be made to fit on, for example, HETHON Feeders, a mixer, or a filling machine, just to name a few.

The VacuFeed is also suitable for dust-free emptying of bulk packaging such as bags, tubs, and barrels.

Modular build up

The VacuFeed is available in four models that are all made of matte stainless steel. Depending on the conveying needs, the VacuFeed delivers a flow rate from 300 to 3,500 l/h. The required vacuum for the FacuFeed can be obtained by means of a pneumatic or an electrical system.

All the models are modular and are available in different capacities by placing spacers. The VacuFeeds are also equipped with an automatic, pneumatic filter cleaner.
Moreover, each VacuFeed is equipped with a pneumatically operated shut-off valve and an electric/pneumatic control unit.

HETHON in a nutshell

HETHON was founded in 1973 and was specialized in pumps and total solutions for the graphic industry. In 1988 Hethon developed a first dosing device for dry products: the HETHON Feeder.

Think of the accurate dosing of plain flour, bakery flour, salt, sugar, but also pigments, spices, milk powders, lactose or plastic granules, wood flour, scrap, toner: in other words, too many to mention.

Dosing machines already existed for all of these products, but Hethon specialised in substances that are difficult to dose and can bridge or degradade. mainly intended for the processing of difficult to dose powders that can 'bridge' or segregate. In 2000 the production was partly accommodated in Slovakia.

Production

Brenda Kesteloo, the founder's daughter, took over the company in 2008 in Hengelo. In 2013, the company moved to a much larger building in Doetinchem this time.

In 2017 Brenda Kesteloo, the founders doughter, took over the company in Slowakia. Production and stock moved again and became centered mainly in the Netherlands, she found it desirable that HETHON’s own products were produced in-house.

Developing

Eventually, a number of new machines were developed for filling the HETHON Feeders, including: Big-Bag emptying, sack emptying or Bag-dump stations, screw conveyors, and vacuum conveyors: the VacuFeed. Even today, custom made powder handling components are still being developed and produced. We are still working on more perfect dosing components and related items as weging scales, control boxes, level sensors etc.

Representatives

Beside own their own brand "HETHON" (dry material handling equipment), HETHON also represents several pump, rotating joint and valve companies. All high quality products like our own products.

Simply said, HETHON has two elements: "wet" and "dry". Pumps, rotating couplings, and related items are of high quality. In 2014 HETHON became a distributor of YTS-pump engineering. She also a distribute ARO, YTS, Fürgut,Nakakin, Haag + Zeissler Rototech and GRI
