Pneumatic Conveyor Options

Ingredient Masters, a world leader in the design and fabrication of batching
equipment for dry bulk solids, is also industry’s best source for systems that
incorporate batching with a pneumatic conveyor. 

Ingredient Masters engineers and manufactures dry ingredient batching
and supplies several high quality pneumatic conveyor designs as part of an
integrated, cost-effective package.  This is an ideal processing solution for
companies with fast-track requirements, or who want to save on
engineering, fabrication, and commissioning costs.

Like its batching equipment, a pneumatic conveyor supplied
by Ingredient Masters is custom-built to suit the customer,
the facility and the product mix.  Here are the 3 main types:

Low to Medium Pressure, Low-Velocity Systems

These have a medium to high material-to-air ratio and can be pressure,
vacuum, or closed loop.  They are recommended for short or long distances,
with low to medium conveying rates.  This equipment is suitable for many
applications, except those involving abrasive or friable materials.  

High-Pressure, Low-Velocity Systems

These use pressure conveying exclusively. They have a high material-to-air
ratio and use an air compressor as the power source. They are most
advantageous for medium to long conveying distances and medium
to high conveyance rates, and are suitable for a wide range of materials,
including abrasives. 

Low to Medium Pressure, Low-Velocity Systems

These are suitable for pressure, vacuum, or closed loop conveying,
and have a medium to high material to air ratio. They are most appropriate
for short to medium distances, and medium to high conveyance rates.

An air controller modifies the density of the air entering the blower to
compensate for system fluctuations, such a material throughput or air loss,
by increasing or decreasing the mass flow of air in the system.  As a result,
a constant pre-selected material-to air ratio is maintained, thus creating a low
velocity, dense phase waveform flow pattern. Many diverse materials,
including friable materials, are compatible with this equipment. 

This is the best pneumatic conveyor where there are concerns
about material integrity, product segregation, changeover logistics,
and energy use.  It is ideal for applications with multiple pick-up
points and multiple destinations.
