Pneumatic Conveying

Pneumatic conveying is a method of material handling and transportation that uses pressurized air or gas to move solid, granular, or powdery materials through a pipeline or ductwork system. The main components of a pneumatic conveying system include:

Feed hopper: Holds the material to be conveyed and controls the rate at which it is introduced into the system.
Blower or compressor: Provides the pressurized air or gas to propel the material through the pipeline.
Conveying pipeline: The network of pipes or ducts that carry the material from the feed point to the discharge point.
Discharge point: The location where the conveyed material is collected or deposited.
