Everything You Need to Know About Self-Contained Air Conveying Systems in the Denmark

Many industries rely on efficient conveying technology to store and transport dry bulk materials. From coffee beans to small plastics, dry dairy, grains, and more, these materials can all be moved using advanced conveying systems. This article provides an overview of Central Powered Vacuum/Pressure Conveying and Self-Contained Vacuum Conveying systems to help you choose the right solution for your business needs.

An Overview of Conveying Systems

Pneumatic conveying, also known as air conveying, is the process of moving bulk solids through a pipeline using either positive or negative air pressure. Here’s how it works:

Air Conveying Requires:

  • Pressure Differential: Creates the airflow necessary for movement.
  • High-Velocity Air: Forces materials to move fast enough to overcome friction.
  • Kinetic Energy Transfer: Transfers energy from the air to the solid material being conveyed.

Conveying Capacity Depends On:

  • Product Bulk Density: The mass of the product particles being transported.
  • Air Energy Content: The power needed to move the product through the system.
  • Convey Line Diameter: The size of the pipe used, which must match the size of the product.
  • Convey Line Length: The distance the material travels through the system.

For example, when using an air conveyor for bulk coffee beans, the system must provide enough power to push the beans from the feed bin to the receiving bin, where they are then transferred into bags or storage containers for transport.

Advantages of Air Conveying:

  • No need for a straight conveying path.
  • Capable of covering long distances in a single conveyor.
  • Fully enclosed systems.
  • Easy to clean and maintain sanitary conditions.
  • Safe to operate with reduced fire and explosion risks.
  • Requires minimal maintenance.

Basic Methods of Pneumatic Conveying:

  • Pressure Conveying: Uses pressurized air to move materials.
  • Vacuum Conveying: Creates suction using a vacuum to pull materials through the system.
