PNEUMATIC CONVEYING SYSTEMS IN THE FOOD SECTOR

SECTOR: food

MATERIAL: granular or powdered

CUSTOMER: food company

In industrial applications, there is an increasing need to transport granular or powdered materials

in fluid suspension through numerous stages of the production process.

Pneumatic conveyors transfer powdery or granular solid substances  trough the pipes, generally circular, by means of an air stream of adequate speed.

The fundamental distinction between the various types of pneumatic conveying derives from the way in which the movement of the material is realised: by means of an air stream in depression (suction) or in pressure (thrust).

GOAL

The purpose of a pneumatic conveying system is to transfer materials from one or more points to a final destination or to a further production process; these include the processes of mixing, granulation, concentration, transformation and packaging.
