Introduction
A major part of Industrial functioning relies on the transport of goods and useful materials efficiently. Thereby drawing attention towards the need to streamline the process and implement a system that is both effective and efficient. With the integration of a pneumatic conveying system, the process of bulk handling has been taken care of with precision.
As we know industries handle a diverse range of materials like powders, granules, and small particles. This creates the need for modern equipment and machinery support that handles lightweight materials significantly. However, the incorporation of a Lean phase pneumatic conveying system is a seamless solution to bulk handling of even non-friable and non-abrasive materials.
Let us understand about Lean phase pneumatic conveying in detail:
What is the lean phase pneumatic conveying system?
Lean phase pneumatic conveying is commonly referred to as dilute phase pneumatic conveying. It is a conveying system that utilizes low pressure and high velocity to transfer the materials, making it particularly useful for lightweight materials like powders, small particles, and granules.
It effectively conveys materials both horizontally and vertically through its pipeline’s bends. The machine ensures hygiene maintenance owing to its minimal exposure and handling making it ideal for process control. It stands out due to its ability to process a continuous material flow, making it extremely useful in various industries.
Features:
Lean phase pneumatic conveying facilitates various features that make it ideal for transporting lightweight materials through pipelines.
Its key features include:
- Less maintenance & Enhanced hygiene: Facilitates Dust-free and less spillage conveying, its atomized power handling offers manpower requirements that result in an enhanced hygienic process due to minimized manual handling.
- Suitability: Applicable for conveying various materials in medium as well as short distances, particularly suitable for lightweight handling materials like powder and granules.
- Versatility in Various Industries: Its working system and specifics to lightweight material handling make it versatile and a part of various industries like F&B, pharmaceutical, agriculture, Construction,etc.
- Efficient working: Multiple feed points, along with flexibility in flow which is possible in both ways vertically and horizontally.
How it works:
Transporting lightweight materials requires careful handling to avoid wastage and maintain a clean yet effective transfer. Unlike machines used to carry heavy weights when considering heavy materials. Comparatively small particle transfer is possible using air pressure.
Air Blower: Air blown through the pipes ensures a smooth flow of materials within the pipes making sure the materials are transferred fast using air pressure.
The high-velocity air makes it possible to flow the materials involved from one place to another. The system can also allow multiple feed points in the line.
The materials are fed into the pipelines carefully through a device that enables smooth loading of the materials.
The process involves an Air lock seal ensuring the air does not flow out of the system while taking care of the materials transfer inside the pipes maintaining a reliable and strong seal.
Real-life Applications:
- Food & Beverage Industry: Wheat, Sugar, Maida, Soya flour.
- Pharmaceuticals Industry: Pharmaceutical powders, Chlorine powder, Paracetamol powder.
- Chemical Industry: Red and blue pigments, Ammonium nitrate, Zinc powdered, PVC powder, Carbon black.
