Pneumatic Conveying System Industry Insights

Abrasion in pneumatic conveying systems is inevitable because of the moving particles of bulk materials being conveyed, as well as the vibrations of the various components. Abrasion happens when...

Flat back elbows are mainly used in pneumatic conveying systems in heavy industries, typically for conveying bulk materials that have highly abrasive properties, such as plastic pellets. This is...

Saltation velocity is the speed below which particles being conveyed through a pneumatic conveying system lose suspension and begin to deposit at the bottom of horizontal pipelines. 

Knowing the differences between dense phase conveying and dilute phase conveying (also called lean phase conveying), particularly in terms of fluid mechanics, will allow you to precisely design...

A flat back elbow is designed to resist the abrasion and impact caused by large particles traveling through a pneumatic conveying system. Its name comes from the fact that the back, or outer curve...

Pneumatic conveying systems handle a lot of abrasive materials. As such, they can be easily susceptible to damage from wear. While elbows are the most at-risk components to become damaged in...

A pneumatic conveying system can’t function without the combination of chutes and hoppers - they are integral and critical components that are inseparable because they act as a giant funnel that...

Components of modern pneumatic conveying systems aren’t as radically different from their predecessors as you may expect, but, of course, a few improvements have been made. Pneumatic conveying...

Plant shutdowns are oftentimes a necessary aspect of operational maintenance, and typically happen at least once a year. Without maintenance shutdowns, a business may be derailed unexpectedly by...

Understanding the effect of temperature on your bulk material handling system is crucial if you want to maintain your system effectively. While temperature fluctuations are normal in a pneumatic...
