Pneumatic Conveying Systems

Pneumatic conveying systems use a series of pipelines that move products by pumping air. These products typically consist of powders or granules. These systems function by moving materials through enclosed, airtight pipelines through a combination of airflow or another type of gas and pressure.Pneumatic conveying is the transport of bulk solids through a pipe by using the flow of air or other gas. Typical bulk materials pneumatically conveyed are powders, pellets, granules and irregularly shaped particles smaller than 20 mm [0.75 in].Pneumatic conveying systems can be easier and more cost effective to maintain than a mechanical conveying system – fewer moving parts. The ability to maintain a controlled atmosphere around the material. Minimise system wear from abrasive materials and damage to fragile materials.
