Selecting the right pneumatic conveyor system
May 24, 2024
Selecting the right pneumatic conveyor system for your specific application involves considering several crucial factors:
- Material Characteristics:
- Understand the properties of the materials you’ll be conveying. Consider factors like particle size, density, and abrasiveness.
- Different materials may require specific types of pneumatic conveyors.
- Conveying Distances:
- Determine the distance the materials need to travel. Short distances may favor different systems than long distances.
- System Scalability:
- Consider future expansion needs. Choose a system that can adapt to changing production requirements.
- Process Requirements:
- Evaluate your specific process needs. Some applications may demand gentle handling, while others prioritize high throughput.
Remember, each type of pneumatic conveyor — such as dilute phase or dense phase — has its own advantages and limitations.
