Pneumatic conveying systems are a type of material handling equipment used to transport bulk solids and powders through a pipeline using air or another gas as the conveying medium. These systems are widely utilized in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and cement due to their efficiency, flexibility, and ability to maintain product integrity during transport. Pneumatic conveying can be classified into two main types: dilute phase and dense phase.
Pneumatic conveying systems offer several advantages, including enclosed transport to prevent contamination, flexibility in routing, and the ability to handle a wide range of materials. They are also relatively easy to maintain and can be automated for efficient operation. By selecting the appropriate type of pneumatic conveying system, industries can achieve reliable and efficient transport of bulk materials, enhancing overall process efficiency and product quality.
