THE PNEUMATIC CONVEYOR

Pneumatic conveying is an elegant, efficient solution for moving dry bulk material.

However, applying an off-the-shelf solution can – but usually does not – give customers the best value so we custom-design our systems around your specific application and material.

Carrying tons of dry bulk material through a pipe with air molecules requires tons of air molecules operating under a given amount of pressure. Each component of a system acts on the air and materials in ways specific to the properties of the air and materials and to the air-to-material ratio itself.

Our unique design concept provides for limited maintenance and prevents premature wear on components. Savings in the use of horsepower translates into less system heat and product degradation.

There are many advantages to pneumatic railcar unloading compared to mechanical conveying. Fewer moving parts mean fewer headaches, and an enclosed system means easy dust control. Another important advantage is flexibility in routing – we can convey material to places others can’t.
