pneuCONVEYOR – Dilute  Phase (Lean Phase) Pneumatic Conveying systems

Dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems operate on the principle that the solids will be suspended in the conveying line air stream. This is achieved by feeding material in controlled quantity into a air stream. Generally velocities are greater than 20mtr per second and material to air ratios are up to .10 to 1. Material conveyed will be separated from air stream through Cyclone & Bag filter.

Commonly Conveyed produts : Products commonly conveyed in Dilute phase systems include Pharmaceutical Powder, speciality chemicals powders, flours, resins and compounds, ground feeds, and granular and pelletized products. In many cases, the product needs to be evaluated based on process needs to final system selection to ensure the desired results can be achieved.

pneuONVEYOR – System Design :  Pressure, vacuum, combination vacuum/pressure and vacuum sequencing are the common types of Dilute phase systems. The Carrying gas is typically generated by a positive displacement blower with pressure capability ranging from 0.1 to 0.8 Kg/ Sq CM. Pressure systems generally use a rotary airlock as a feed device. A vacuum system simply needs a product flow control device such as a probe box or screw feeder, although rotary airlocks are commonly used.

Our different modular families of Vacuum Conveyors for the Pharma, Chemical and Food-Industry allow customized modifications of all conveyors regarding the individual application. Even critical materials can be conveyed safely and adapted conveyors can be used for hazardous applications like inside explosion areas or with highly toxic materials.

Most of our conveyors are used in applications with conveying capacities from 100 kg/h up to 3 t/h, where the conveying distance is up to 15 m far and 10 m high. Realized systems have up to 12 t/h capacity and work with conveying distances up to 80 m far and 35 m height.
