Powder conveying
Thread Content
Regarding the methods of powder transportation, the volume to be transported, and the amount of air required, should one carry out the calculations oneself or consult a professional manufacturer? For example, how to choose between dilute-phase transport and dense-phase transport? The throughput can be calculated based on the project, but how is the gas consumption calculated? Or what about the transmission frequency and the necessary dust removal equipment – how is that calculated? I’ve also read manuals on pneumatic powder transportation before, but they are too complicated; it’s difficult to choose the right solid-to-gas ratio.
Do we have to consult professional manufacturers for everything? When quoting for projects in the early stage, many manufacturers are not very cooperative.
Which side are you from? Process package development? Factory expansion and renovation?
Those involved in craftsmanship, project general contracting, etc.
We can cooperate; we specialize in pneumatic conveying of materials
You can directly approach pneumatic conveying manufacturers, but make sure to choose those with strong capabilities. Now suppliers are generally cooperative, unless they are too busy to deal with it.
This can be calculated by oneself; it depends on the type of powder being transported. Generally, for dense-phase transportation, the speed is 17–25 meters per second.
For this, you should first select the air volume based on the conveying volume and the solid-to-gas ratio. Then select the pipe diameter based on the air volume; the wind speed can be around 25. Some equipment requires a specific wind speed at the material inlet; you should consult the equipment manufacturer regarding this. You have a general selection. Then just get a quote from the equipment manufacturer. Then have the manufacturer verify the specific parameters. If the delivery volume doesn’t meet the standards, you can go to them.
