Why Pneumatic Conveying?
Laitex pneumatic conveyors move materials through enclosed pipes with pressurized air or gas. This method is controlled and dust-free. It helps keep materials safe and improves workplace safety. These systems work well for particles smaller than 10 mm. They can handle many materials, including sand, lime, fly ash, cement, sulfur, activated carbon, asphaltene, and wood dust.
Two Phases, One Goal: Efficiency & Gentle Handling
- Dense Phase Systems: Move materials in slugs at low speeds and high pressure. This method is ideal for fragile or abrasive substances. It minimizes wear and prevents segregation.
- Lean Phase Systems: Use a steady, low-pressure airflow (50–500 mbar). This setup is perfect for free-flowing materials. It offers more layout flexibility and a higher throughput.
We work closely with clients to find the best conveying mode. We consider material properties, distance, flow rate, and environmental factors.
