Pneumatic Convey
Transporting difficult materials
Some raw materials are difficult to transport by traditional pneumatic systems. Raw materials categorized problematic can be oily, sticky, hygroscopic or heat sensitive or have a high oxidation potential.
Pneumatic Convey
Design focus:
Possible solutions are:
- Use dry air as transport media
- Use dry and cold air as transport media
- Adjust the product/air ratio
- Ensure that no condensation takes place in the transport pipe by insulation/tracing
- Use nitrogen as cooling agent
- Nitrogen as transport media to avoid oxidation
- Modify powder intake system if needed
- Test products expected to be difficult in a pilot pneumatic system
- Design the pneumatic system based on test results
It is important to collect process and product information,
in order to design the correct pneumatic system for difficult raw materials
> Room temperature and humidity variation in actual production area
> Transport distance bendings and pressure drop
> Raw material temperature variation
> Raw material particle size distribution
> If needed, trial results from pilot plant
> Product data sheet
> Physical analyses (Flow ability, density etc.)
