Pneumatic Conveying System: an Overview

3 Design engineer, Scorpio, Industries ltd., (India) ABSTRACT Pneumatic conveying system has always been economic and efficient means of conveying materials. From the historical background it is evident that there has been a considerable development to that extent where in even high density materials can be easily conveyed. With many advantages over conventional conveying system, it stands in a...

Simulations of Dense-phase Pneumatic Conveying

Dense phase pneumatic conveying has been investigated through simulation, using a discrete element approach for the granular particles and a finite difference method for the pressure field. Both horizontal and vertical conveying are studied and compared. Studies of single plugs or slugs promise to give insight into the performance of pneumatic conveying systems.

The Role of Particle Shape in Pneumatic Conveying

Pneumatic conveying, in which granular materials are transported using a gas phase, is an important industrial process for bulk particulate transport. This is usually carried out in either a dilute phase, in which the particles are effectively suspended in the gas phase, or a dense phase, in which the particles move in a bulk flow. Dense phase conveying is becoming increasingly popular as it re...
