Pneumatic Conveying

Dense phase pneumatic conveyors arerecognized for increasing plantefficiencies, saving companies byproviding a cost effective means ofconveying material from storage hoppersfor processing. They utilise compressedair to convey free-flowing materials at lowvelocities over relatively short distances.The air is supplied via an air compressoror from one of our LT series “Roots” typeblowers. Benefits of a dense phase conveyingsystem• Lower Running Costs - dense phase systems have few working parts & maintenance costs are usually very low

• Space Savings - pneumatic piping can be routed along walls and ceilings resulting in more floor space

• Facilitates Bulk Purchasing - lower costs of raw materials

• Better Housekeeping - dense phase conveying virtually eliminates all wastage and spillage - it is clean and economical

• Increased Safety - operators are protected from the hazards of dust and exposed machinery
