Pneumatic Conveying Systems

Pneumatic conveying systems are used to transport bulk materials such as powders or granules through a pipeline using air pressure. These systems are efficient, hygienic, and versatile, making them ideal for a wide range of industries including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.

There are two main types of pneumatic conveying systems: dilute phase and dense phase. Dilute phase systems use high velocity air to transport materials in suspension through the pipeline, while dense phase systems use lower velocity air to move materials in a more controlled manner.

Some of the advantages of pneumatic conveying systems include:
  • Reduced risk of material contamination or degradation
  • Minimal energy consumption compared to other material handling methods
  • Ability to transport materials over long distances and around obstacles
  • Low maintenance requirements

However, pneumatic conveying systems also have some limitations, such as the potential for material degradation due to high air velocities, and the need for careful design and maintenance to prevent blockages or leaks.

Overall, pneumatic conveying systems offer a reliable and efficient method for transporting bulk materials in a variety of industries, providing a cost-effective solution for handling materials in a safe and hygienic manner.
