چکیده
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 position where in it can replace heavy duty conveying systems in many applications. Its drawbacks are considerable path for the future scope on this conveying mechanism. This paper reviews about pneumatic conveying from the stage of history to its future study.
