E-finity® Low Pressure Continuous Dense Phase is Designed for Stability and Reliability

The E-finity® is a patented continuous dense phase convey system for fragile materials. Precise pressure monitoring and airflow corrections allow the system to operate efficiently under all conditions, while gently inducing materials through the convey line in slug form. E-finity® is ideally suited for granular and pelleted materials, and has proven itself on many projects for pet foods, cereals, nuts, grains, prills, and pelleted material.

Potential Hazards when using Pneumatic Conveying Systems

The problem of static electricity in hazardous atmospheres is ever present in many sectors of processing industries.

This case study investigates the factors behind the ignition source of a static discharge during a powder processing operation where the operator working on a pneumatic conveying system heard a crackling noise when powdered material was being transported between the classifier and the loading hopper.

Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions About Direct Charge Blender Loading

While pneumatic conveying manufacturers are experts at moving powders and bulk solids, and blender manufacturers are experts at homogenizing powders and bulk solids, direct charge blender loading systems unite these two technologies – automating the process.

Direct charge blender loading eliminates manual lifting of heavy bags, stair-climbing, and messy dumping of product into and out of tumbler blenders, while reducing the overall loading time of tumble blenders.

Pneumatic Conveying for Safe Food Transfer

Coperion K-Tron is proud to offer a wide range of pneumatic conveying systems ideal for conveying of food ingredients. Applications include simple up and in systems, which include bag, dump stations with powders conveyed to mixers or more complex railcar/truck unloading and batch weighing systems.

Systems are custom designed for the application and can include dilute phase pressure, dilute phase vacuum, dense phase vacuum, dense phase pressure, and vacuum sequencing.

The Role of Air Velocity in Optimizing Pneumatic Conveying Efficiency

Pneumatic conveying systems rely on air or gas to move dry bulk materials through conveying pipelines. By calculating the ideal air velocity for your system and products, you can convey quickly while keeping product degradation, energy costs, and downtime to a minimum. | Read more »

LKAB Minerals Convey Wet, Abrasive Mica Pneumatically

LKAB Minerals, Ltd. have processed mica (also known as common mica or muscovite) at their Derby location since the 1950s. The material is used as a mineral filler for a wide range of applications in the agricultural, building construction, polymers, and paint and coatings industries. One process involves moving large volumes of wet, abrasive mica powder from a wet process to a drying system on the floor above. | Read more »

Why a 100% Seal Is Important for Negative Pressure Applications

The importance of a sealed system in bulk processing often focuses on preventing dust leakage out into the factory environment. This is, of course, vital when you are dealing with ATEX/potentially explosive zones in your plant and minimizing any dust must be a priority. | Read more »
