What are the misunderstandings about pneumatic conveying? How to solve it?

Shandong Boda powder: Pneumatic conveying, also known as air conveying, is the use of the energy of the air flow, in a closed pipe along the direction of the air flow conveying granular materials, is a specific application of fluidization technology. The structure of the pneumatic conveying device is simple, easy to operate, and can be used for horizontal, vertical or inclined conveying. The equipment configuration of the pneumatic conveying system is simple, the system investment is small, the system maintenance is low, and the maintenance is convenient.

Shandong Boda Powder Engineering Co., Ltd. has a 40 years of pneumatic conveying technology research and development team, and equipped with a variety of physical testing equipment and pneumatic conveying, gravity mixing, weighing measurement and other test devices; on pneumatic conveying, people often have some misunderstandings, so how to solve it.

Myth 1: Horizontal pipes are easier to transport than vertical pipes

It is often assumed that horizontal is better than vertical, but this is not the case. Material in the horizontal pipe material transport necessary greater air flow rate. Since the material suspension bias and airflow bias in the horizontal tube are vertical, as long as a part of the force acts on the suspension, more energy is not effective. In vertical pipes, the suspension bias and airflow bias are equal, and more energy can be used. Therefore, the material is more likely to settle and cause infarction in the horizontal tube, while this phenomenon will not occur in the vertical tube, which will be more conducive to air transport.

Misunderstanding 2: increase the air volume can increase the transport volume

Many customers subconsciously think that as long as the air volume increases, the delivery volume will inevitably increase, but in fact this perception is wrong. Boda technicians found during the experiment that when the design is at the * * * economic point, if all conditions are the same (pipe diameter, material, transportation interval, working condition), the transportation capacity will be much lower if the wind speed and air volume increase. When the air volume and wind speed are reduced, the transportation capacity will increase instead, but when the air volume and wind speed are close to the experimental * * * small wind speed, infarction is easy to occur. Therefore, when transporting materials, it is necessary to choose the appropriate wind speed and air volume to achieve the economic benefits.

The design of pneumatic conveying system should go through all-round investigation and research by technicians. In the choice of equipment, the choice of pipeline layout, wind speed and air volume and other aspects of consideration, in order to create a more economical and more suitable pneumatic conveying system for enterprises. Shandong Boda Powder Engineering Co., Ltd. has rich experience in designing and customizing pneumatic conveying systems. Its professional technical research and development team and strong strength can customize appropriate pneumatic conveying systems for various industries and fields, which can help you avoid misunderstandings and risks encountered in the customization of pneumatic conveying systems.
