VENTURI TYPE MATERIAL HANDLING

PROBLEM:  Difficult to convey materials, including those with abrasive or tacky surfaces, present special material handling challenges. Other applications with high volume/mass ratios and fast-fed materials are equally challenging. 

SOLUTION: Venturi-based systems are often the solution to these problems. Since Compass Systems is one of the few engineering firms extremely familiar with Venturi Systems we are uniquely positioned to help you solve a number of challenging material handling applications. 

 Venturi systems are named for a vacuum airflow effect first discovered by Italian physicist Giovanni Battisti Venturi in the late 1800’s. He found that when a fan draws air through a tapered pipe, or educator, the air moves at greater velocity while pressure decreases. This increased airflow makes it possible to keep up with faster feeding applications or move larger volumes of material that would overwhelm slower moving in-line fan systems. Special options, including special coatings for interior tube surfaces can be used to prevent material build-up in system components.
