Pneumatic conveying, also known as air flow conveying, is a specific application of fluidization technology that utilizes the energy of air flow to transport granular materials along the direction of air flow in a closed pipeline. The structure of the pneumatic conveying device is simple and easy to operate. It can be used for horizontal, vertical, or inclined conveying. During the conveying process, it can also perform physical operations such as heating, cooling, drying, and air flow classification, as well as certain chemical operations. Compared with mechanical conveying, this method consumes more energy, particles are easily damaged, and equipment is also susceptible to abrasion. Materials with high moisture content, adhesive properties, or prone to static electricity during high-speed movement are not suitable for pneumatic conveying.
The main characteristics of pneumatic conveying are large conveying volume, long conveying distance, and high conveying speed; It can be loaded in one place and unloaded in multiple places.
