Pneumatic Conveying System

We, as a company, Stratgem, are purposefully writing this
informative blog to create awareness and share knowledge
about pneumatic conveying systems with those who are very
much interested in them.
Everyone knows that a specific system is required for the
transportation of dry bulk materials or powders. In this kind
of process, dry bulk materials or powders are carried,
transported, or shifted from one destination to another using
compressed air or gases like nitrogen. The bulk materials, or
granules, are transferred or shifted through tubes or an
enclosed conveying pipeline by the collective force of
pressure, and for that, compressed air or gas is used. Air movers
such as positive displacement blowers or vacuums can generate
the pressure and air flow, which are then used to convey the
materials. That’s why, by controlling the pressure differential and
air flow, the system can effectively convey or shift the materials
over certain places or distances.
Air development devices such as fans, root blowers, or
blowers perfectly create this air flow pressure. The
pneumatic conveyor system is a cost-effective, or in other
words, economical, system because it transfers or shifts
powdered and granular materials successfully with very
little loss, stops environmental pollution, and keeps the
materials themselves clean and free of contaminants.
Many process industries, including chemicals and
detergents, pet food, food and beverage, renewable
energy, and specialty materials, now rely on Stratgem's
cost-effective pneumatic conveyor system.
Whenever powder or bulk material is used in a plant, it
should be transported or shifted in a systematic manner, as
well as with the help of material handling equipment. These
systems safely transfer or shift items or objects from one
place to another, and they typically come in the form of
conveyors and elevators.
Stratgem, based in Pune, India, creates pneumatic
conveying systems that are much more reasonable
and economical than other mechanical systems. Our
pneumatic conveying systems are completely
enclosed, reasonably controlled, and easily
modifiable. Instead of mechanical systems, they are
more environmentally friendly. Because of their
enclosed design, they keep the materials conveyed
safe and free of harmful foreign matter.
There are two types of pneumatic conveying
systems.
Dilute phase conveying
system
Dense phase conveying
system
Each type can convey materials using either a vacuum or a
pressure method.
These types can be distinguished by their operating principles,
which refer to the type of material that can be moved and the
source of airflow.
Dilute-phase pneumatic
conveying
Dilute-phase pneumatic conveying is
described as the process of (pressure)
pushing or (vacuum) pulling particles
suspended in air from one location to
another. At low pressure and high
velocity, the air-suspended particles are
transferred continuously.
Mainly, there are two main types of Dilute-

systems
Dilute-phase pressure
conveying
In dilute-phase pressure conveying, a gas, such as
air, is used to suspend and transport particulate
materials through a pipeline. This method is the
most commonly used for transporting dry materials
because it is nonabrasive, resilient, and has a low
bulk density over long distances. Such materials

systems
In positive pressure systems, the gas is supplied to
the inlet of the conveying pipeline at a pressure
higher than the atmospheric pressure. This causes
the mixture to flow through the pipeline under
positive pressure.
How Positive Pressure Systems
Work
In this type of system, an air mover, commonly a
positive displacement blower, is fixed at the start of
the system to supply a high volume of low-pressure
air.
A feeder and rotary airlock valve are placed next in
the line after the blower, which helps to
methodically "feed" the materials into the line.
As the materials enter the line, an air stream
supplied by the blower quickly pushes and
suspends the particles from one location to another.
The method is commonly used to convey materials
from a single destination to multiple locations
Dilute Phase Vacuum
SyVsatceuum ssystems: In vacuum systems, the
gas is exhausted from the conveying
pipeline, creating a vacuum that causes
the mixture to flow through the pipeline
under negative pressure.
How Dilute Phase Vacuum

conveying.
To pull material from a storage hopper, a positive displacement
vacuum provides negative pressure.
The vacuum pump is placed at the opposite end of the line to
supply the suction needed to pull material from one location to
the next.
A vacuum relief valve is used to control the negative pressure
in the system and ensure that the right amount of material is
delivered to its destination or multiple locations.
Dense phase conveying
sDyensset pehamse pneumatic conveying is the process of
pushing (pressure) or pulling (vacuum) particles that are
not suspended in the conveying air. The densely
transported materials are transferred at high pressure
and low speed (velocity).
Dense phase conveying is classified into
two types:
Dense-phase pressure conveying
Dense-phase vacuum conveying
Dense-phase pressure
conveying
The dense-phase pressure conveying
method is commonly used to convey
abrasive or fragile materials over great
distances at extremely low speeds.
Beans, cocoa, hazelnuts, cereal, candies,
and glass particles are examples of
materials commonly transferred using this
method.
This system is known for the benefit of
starting or stopping with the conveying line
full of material.
How dense-phase pressure
conveying works
Material conveyed by this type of method is first loaded
into a pressure vessel or blow pot.
Once the blow pot is filled, the material vent and inlet
valve are closed, and compressed air is pushed into the
vessel.
The compressed air pushes the material from the
vessel and into the conveying line, where it reaches its
destination.
"The process is restarted once all of the material in the
vessel and conveying line has been transferred. It is
common to install air injectors or jets along the length
of the conveying line to help boost the material.
Dense-phase vacuum
coDennvsee-pyhiansge vacuum conveying systems are used for
the transport of abrasive or fragile materials over
short distances at low speeds.
Dense-phase vacuum conveying is commonly used to
unload materials from rail cars and trucks in a
fluidized state.
HoItw h aist awlso rbkese:n used for pharmaceutical and food
applications.
These types of systems use vacuum pumps to convey
material from a silo or hopper to a receiving vessel
known as a vacuum hopper.
When the vacuum hopper is full, the material is then
ejected to a destination silo. After all the material has
been conveyed from the silo or hopper, the process can
be repeated to transfer additional material as needed.
