Pneumatic Conveying System
Pneumatic Conveying System:
A pneumatic conveying system is a method of transporting bulk materials from one location to another using a gas, typically air, as the conveying medium. In this system, materials are suspended in or propelled by the gas stream through enclosed pipelines or ducts to their destination. Pneumatic conveying systems are commonly used in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics, mining, and agriculture to transport materials such as powders, granules, pellets, and even liquids.
Benefits:
These systems offer benefits such as efficiency, flexibility, gentle handling, cleanliness, and safety compared to traditional mechanical conveying methods.
There are few types of pneumatic conveying systems:
- Pressure Dilute Phase
- Vacuum Dilute Phase
- Pressure Dense Phase
- Vacuum Dense Phase
