Pneumatic Conveying System



In the technologically advanced world of today, the pneumatic tube system has proved to be an invaluable invention. How do they work? Compressed air is used to push small items through ducts in a tube to deliver loads to their destinations. This forms the pneumatic conveying system. There are two types of pneumatic conveying systems available: the dilute phase systems that simply push loads in one direction; and the dense phase systems that push or pull to send and receive loads in both directions.

Pneumatic conveying systems are very complex structures to manufacture, which is why there are specialized firms with advanced technology that are up for this task. Each pneumatic conveying system is made according to customized specifications. If you intend to have one built, you need to inform the manufacturer about what type of items you intend to transport, the size and source of power, the cyclone and the filter. The pneumatic air system is then produced according to the particular needs of your company. The manufacturer also includes a trolley for additional portability, should it be needed. All of these complex manufacturing techniques basically depend on the density of the items you have to ferry around.

There are numerous applications of the pneumatic conveying system:
Food industries can use it to send raw ingredients to processing plants.
Blood banks send containers of blood from the banks to the offload point.
Construction sites receive raw materials and chemicals from aluminum, cement, fertilizer industries etc. using the pneumatic conveying system.

Some other attributes to be considered are:
Safety: There is no fuel involved in the pneumatic air system, making it safe from fire or explosions, and ensuring that your valuable items are not damaged in any way.

Speed: It provides speeds of up to 25 feet per second for vertical transport and 28 kilometers per hour for horizontal movement.
Housecleaning: In large houses, cleaners can use the tubes to transport cleaning supplies and items from one room to another.

User friendly: The computer controls in the pneumatic conveying system are intuitive and easy for everyone to make use of.
