Pneumatic conveying refers to a system that uses compressed air or other gases to transfer bulk materials such as powders and particles from one process area to another. (because pneumatic conveying is generally used to transport powder materials, pneumatic conveying is often called powder pneumatic conveying.)

The pneumatic system works by using a combination of differential pressure and air flow from a blower (typically a Roots blower) or other air streams to move (powder, particle) material through a closed delivery line. By controlling the positive or negative pressure and airflow in the conveyor line, the system can move the material very successfully with very little damage or loss.

What are the advantages of pneumatic conveying?

Each system has its advantages and disadvantages. Pneumatic conveying equipment is no exception. But the list of advantages is long, which is why this type of system is very popular in some processes.

The pipeline is simple - one of the biggest advantages is that pneumatic conveying can let you lay pneumatic conveying pipeline with any you like. The pneumatic system can be operated horizontally or vertically, can be covered for a long distance, and is easy to surround existing equipment, obstacles or any hidden design.

Strong adaptability - the pneumatic system can easily adapt to your existing working conditions without taking up a lot of space, and can set up multiple pick-up points, so you can build a transport system with amazing flexibility and efficiency.

Structural flexibility - due to the light weight of the pneumatic conveying line, there is no need for a large number of structural supports. This saves plant space and capital and eliminates many potential construction difficulties.

Safety closure is another advantage of these systems.

Easy to maintain - unlike other conveying systems, the pneumatic system has only a few main components (roots blower or bin pump, rotating without paint, pipe and bag filter), each of which can be maintained independently of other parts of the system. This means faster maintenance and shorter downtime.
