Pneumatic Conveying System

Pneumatic conveying is widely used for the transport of dry bulk particulate materials. Many industries have processes that involve the transport of a wide variety of materials conveyed in powdered and granular form. Bulk materials are conveyed in the food, chemical, mining, agriculture, pharmaceutical, metals, paint and rubber industries, among others. Pneumatic conveying system is basically quite simple and is suitable for the transport of powdered and granular materials in factory, site and plant situations. The system requirements are a source of compressed gas, usually air, a feed device, a conveying pipeline and a receiver to disengage the conveyed material and carrier gas. Pneumatic conveying system is totally enclosed, and if required, the system can operate entirely without the conveying material coming into direct contact with the moving parts. To convey the material, high, low or negative pressures can be used in the system.
