Pneumatic conveying flow rate refers to the rate at which air or materials in pneumatic conveying pipelines travel. The airflow rate directly correlates with air velocity, air volume, and air mass...
To find the correct air velocity in pneumatic conveying systems, it’s crucial to understand the properties of the material being conveyed, such as the size, shape, and density of particles.
The differences between pneumatic conveying vs. mechanical conveying come down to the types of bulk materials these two types of systems transfer, the distances they can convey over, and how they...
Several factors can cause pressure loss in pneumatic conveying, from an incorrect feed rate to moisture in the pipelines. The effects are line blockages, expensive periods of downtime, and high...
Knowing how to minimize pressure drops requires an understanding of what’s causing them in the first place. There are several factors that can cause a drop in pressure in conveying systems,...
A pressure drop in your pneumatic conveying system can cause a slowdown in your conveying system’s capacity. It also has the potential to cause more serious problems, like the piling up of bulk...
Dry bulk pneumatic conveying systems are used to move bulk materials that don’t contain any water, such as talcum powder or plastic pellets, through an enclosed pipeline system.
In bulk material conveying, the initial cost of upgrading to abrasion-resistant products might seem prohibitive. That’s because it isn’t typically just a couple of percent over the expense of a...
Bulk material handling is an essential aspect of various industrial processes, such as manufacturing and mining. The type of machines needed to handle bulk material depends on the type of bulk...
