Pneumatic Conveying

Coarse Materials

  1. Building sand in brick manufacturing plant - bulk density 100/cu. ft.
  2. Detergents identical to the material in consumer packages - bulk density 27 lbs./cu.ft.
  3. Plastic pellets - 1/8" dia. x 1/4" long
  4. Graphite/coal tar mix
    • bulk density 35 - 40 lbs./cu.ft.
    • particle size 90% less than 200 mesh; 10% as large as 1/4" dia.

High Temperatures

  1. Foundry sand - bulk density 120 lbs./cu.ft. - 1200°F
  2. Flyash - bulk density 60 lbs./cu.ft. - 500°F
  3. Ironoxide pellets
    • bulk density 212 lbs./cu.ft.
    • particle size 77% larger than 35 mesh; 21% 35 - 60 mesh; 2% 65 - 100 mesh
    • temperature 1600°F

Abrasive Materials

  1. Silica carbide grain and dust system capacity up to 70 tons per hour - 80 ft. lift
  2. Aluminum oxide grain and dust system capacity of 3000 lbs./hr. - 20 ft. lift
  3. Bauxite grain 40 ft. lift - 20 ft. lateral; system capacity 1300 lbs./hr.

The above are only some of the examples. Our systems are mostly custom engineered/design built and therefore the application and capacities are varied.
