6 Considerations to define a pneumatic conveying systems Before one can define and select a pneumatic conveying system the following questions need to answered What are the goals of the material transfer system? What are the priorities of the individual targets inside the overall goal? How do we strike a balance between As good as possible, AND as good as needed? Page 6 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

7 Considerations to define a pneumatic conveying systems To function correctly, a pneumatic conveying system... Must have the proper amount of material feeding into the system. Must have the proper amount of conveying gas in the system. Must be able to overcome the restrictions between the start and end of the system. Page 7 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

8 Considerations to define a pneumatic conveying systems In addition, to work optimally Consider the gas temperature / product temperature Use suitable materials of construction Make sure the convey line geometry & components (particularly bends) are suitable.

10 Material aspects Test Your Materials for Optimum Results Pellets Powders Recycled material Glass Fiber Page 10 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

11 Material aspects Bench Test for Material Evaluation A Bench Test usually only requires less than 5 Liters of bulk material and gives us the material characteristics and data required for SIZING and equipment SELECTION! Bulk Density Flow Angles Sieve Analysis Can Velocity Terminal Velocity Bulk Velocity Fluidity Abrasion Particle Shape Characteristics Visual Observation In most cases a Bench Test avoids a full scale test!

13 Types of MH systems Material Handling With Different Types of Pneumatic Conveying Continuous Vacuum System (Dilute Phase) Continuous Pressure System (Dilute Phase) Vacuum Sequencing (Dilute Phase) Batch Pressure System (Dense Phase) Continuous Pressure System (Dense Phase) Page 13 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

14 Types of MH systems Several choices for pneumatic conveying phases Slow motion Dense phase Strand phase Dilute phase degradation gas velocity [m/s] Page 14 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

15 Types of MH systems Continuous Dilute Phase Vacuum and Pressure Conveying Proper air flow sizing for Positive Displacement blower Altitude considerations Conveying velocities Temperature considerations Calculating back pressure correctly Pressure systems are typically metered with a rotary valve. Proper sizing of Air Separator for continuous duty. Understanding the total volumetric rate of gas Proper gas-to-cloth ratios Can velocity considerations Page 15 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

16 Types of MH systems Coperion K-TRON refilling systems Vacuum sequencing: cost-effective refill of LIWF Sequence valves closed Receiver 1 Receiver 2 Pump active Secondary filter Bypass valve in vent position Discharge valve closed Page 16 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

17 Types of MH systems Vacuum Sequencing Systems Powder Design considerations Works in a batching mode with short draw/dump cycles. Minimal equipment stack-up. Can be used for both powders and pellets. Typically designed for rates that fit in a 80mm - 100mm convey line size. Very high gas-to-cloth ratios for short periods of less than 1 to 2 minute draw cycles. Easily equipped with gravity or powered operated discharge gates. Motive gas source is flexible for venturi, regenerative blowers, or positive displacement blowers Often used to refill feeders or small bins. Must consider that it is not continuous - needs time to dump and possibly pulse-clean the filters. Can be operated in dilute or dense phase mode Pellet Page 17 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

18 Types of MH systems Continuous dense phase conveying Design considerations It is a continuous operation allowing process equipment to run interrupted or require surge capacity at the source Can be designed to naturally or artificially for slugs in the convey line Typically under 3 bar capacity Can deliver smooth, slow flowing material pneumatically Used on abrasive materials or materials where degradation is an issue. Effective to reduce product degradation. Dense phase slow motion conveying by pressure CONTI-SCHUB with wear-protected rotary valve. Page 18 - APP Seminar:2015: Advanced Material Handling Solutions

24 Equipment: Feeder Feeders and how they interact with pneumatic conveying equipment Design considerations Best to refill loss in weight feeders quickly. During the feeder fill cycle it is in volumetric mode. Material flow properties are critical. Feeders need to be vented during their refill cycle. Pulse-cleaning from receiver above or dust vent can affect accuracy. Best is receiver volume and feeder hopper volume are close in size to minimize over filling. Receiver can discharge during it s draw cycle if it is equipped with a rotary valve. Otherwise it will have to stop conveying to discharge.
