There are several different types of pneumatic conveying systems. These types include Medium phase, Dense phase, and Dilute phase systems. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to know which one is right for your application. Learn more about medium phase pneumatic conveying systems and dilute-phase vacuum conveying systems.

Medium phase pneumatic conveying system

1. medium-phase pneumatic conveying system uses a low-velocity motive gas to transfer bulk products from one end of the system to the other. This type of conveying is excellent for a wide range of materials. The low-velocity characteristic prevents material segregation and product breakage, which can greatly affect downstream processes. Because the air velocity is so low, this type of conveying is perfect for fragile or difficult-to-move materials.

1. medium-phase pneumatic conveying system reduces the air velocity so that particles drop to the bottom of the pipe. This results in a bed of material moving along the bottom of the pipe. This reduces the air velocity and influx of particles, reducing wear on the conveying pipe.

Dense phase pneumatic conveying system

The CD Dense Phase Pump is a unique and self-adaptive pneumatic conveying solution designed for the transfer of densely packed materials. Its design minimizes material degradation and pipeline wear and tear, and minimizes the risk of uncontrolled material surging. Its typical applications include the gypsum industry, where it is used to transfer precalculated materials, plaster, and finished product. It is also used in the cement and non-ferrous industries.

The mechanical benefits of this system include the ability to convey medium-sized granules without fluidization. However, it is important to consider the product’s physical characteristics, including its bulk density, abrasiveness, and moisture content. Temperature and static charge also affect the design. In addition, pipeline routing may have a significant impact on the overall system design. For instance, a shorter pipeline reduces space requirements and costs for installation.

Dilute phase pneumatic conveying system

A dilute phase pneumatic conveying system is an efficient method of moving non-abrasive, non-fragile materials. The method uses a large volume of low- pressure air to move materials at high speeds. It is especially useful for transporting hazardous or toxic materials. There are two major types of dilute phase pneumatic systems.

Particle size and shape are important factors when designing a dilute -phase pneumatic conveying system. Higher particle sizes require higher air velocities, while smaller particles need lower air velocities. The shape of pulverised materials can also play a role during pneumatic transport. In a laboratory-scale setup with a

28-mm diameter line, the influence of shape on the transport -gas velocity was investigated. Particles with a smaller radius tend to lose their saltation velocity more rapidly, and this leads to lower transport-gas velocities.

Dilute-phase vacuum conveying system

The Dilute -phase vacuum conveying system is an efficient way to convey powders and other materials from multiple sources to a single destination. These systems are typically compact and can be easily maintained. They also have a low capital cost compared to dense-phase systems. In addition to their low capital cost, dilute -phase systems are easy to clean.

The most important difference between a dilute-phase vacuum conveying system and a dense-phase system is the operating pressure. A dense -phase system requires higher operating pressures, which can result in a high capital cost. In addition, a dilute-phase system is not suitable for high- speed conveying. High -speed conveying also leads to particle breakage and wear on the pipes, which is detrimental to the materials being conveyed.
