PRIORITIZING SAFETY
The enclosed piping system eliminates spillage and contamination risks, ensuring a clean environment and compliance with safety regulations. SAI minimizes direct contact with waste, preventing spills and enhancing both worker and product safety.
UNPRECEDENTED ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND COST SAVINGS
Pulsed air transport achieves unmatched energy efficiency and significantly lowers operating costs.
FLEXIBLE AND ROBUST
Effectively handles changes in direction and elevation, traveling hundreds of meters without the need for pipe maintenance, unlike tubular drag conveyors. Easily retrofitted into existing structures with minimal disruption.
STREAMLINED CONSTRUCTION
Eliminates the need for large conveyor assets, support structures, and access platforms, reducing construction time and costs. Single pipes can be routed directly to silo inlets for a streamlined solution.
MAINTAIN IN PLACE
Quick and easy inspection and maintenance, even in tight spaces, with RJA and DJA technology.
COMPREHENSIVE MONITORING
The SAI controller provides complete control and predictive maintenance through comprehensive monitoring and easy integration with all automation and control systems.
WATER CONSERVATION
Dewatered waste transport conserves process water, improving sustainability and reducing costs.
OIL-FREE OPERATION
Enables the use of oil-free compressors to handle by-products for further processing, such as animal feed.
ODOR ELIMINATION
A closed piping system prevents odors from escaping, eliminating problems such as eye irritating fumes and reducing the need for manual cleaning. No need for odor extraction and emission controls.
FOOD WASTE TRANSFER WITH UNMATCHED EFFICIENCY, CLEANLINESS AND COST SAVINGS
Introducing Smart Air Injection (SAI), our flagship technology for food waste transportation. This state-of-the-art pumping system offers unparalleled benefits in cost savings, safety and ease of operation. SAI integrates a progressive cavity pump with compressed air pulses for optimal food waste transfer performance. By eliminating manual waste handling or mechanical conveyance, our closed-loop piping system reduces the risk of contamination and exposure to odors, creating a safer, cleaner work environment. When food waste contains coarse or oversized particles, optional cutting knives or a grinder can grind, crush, or shred the material before pumping. Transform your food waste operations with our efficient and cost-effective SAI solution.

IDEAL FOR FOOD & BEVERAGE OPERATIONS
The SEEPEX Smart Air Injection (SAI) system is perfect for the food industry, including food processing plants, food and beverage manufacturers, and large food service operations. SAI efficiently handles a wide range of waste types, residues, and by-products, such as vegetables and animal waste. Its versatility makes it an essential solution for managing various waste streams while maintaining operational efficiency.
MANAGES VARIOUS MEDIA
SAI excels at the efficient transport of semi-solid and highly viscous waste materials, including coffee and tea grounds, mustard husks, soybean residues, micro cellulose, legumes, oatmeal, pectin residues, and many more. For added efficiency, an optional lubricant injection system can be integrated, further enhancing performance in handling these challenging materials. For waste containing hard particles such as mango, peach, or avocado stones, or pineapple tops, optional conditioning solutions can grind, crush, or shred the material before pumping. The system also allows the particle size to be adjusted for downstream applications, such as animal feed or biogas production. In addition, it reduces the need for water flume systems, making it a cleaner and more energy-efficient solution for fish and seafood processing. With no added water, no waste dilution, and no strain on water treatment, operations become more sustainable.
