Risk of Electrostatic Ignition during Powder Processing Operations

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.

E-finity® Pneumatic Conveying System is Designed for Fragile Materials

Schenck Process E-finity® is a patented continuous dense phase conveying 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.

Custom Solutions Not Necessarily Required for Vacuum Conveying Systems

Most vacuum conveying systems don’t require custom solutions in order to meet your powder and bulk solids processing requirements. Pre-engineered vacuum conveying systems are now so technically advanced that they are useful as is for a wide range of industries.

This article talks about situations, including real-world examples, when turnkey packaged conveying systems fit and when custom enhancements are necessary.

Lorenz Diverter Valves – 2, 3 or 4-Way

Lorenz Conveying Products manufactures 2, 3 and 4-Way Diverter Valves for vacuum or dilute phase conveying. Choice of Straight or Wye Configurations. Sizes from 1.5” to 8” OD.

Designed to divert powders, pellets or granules from a single source to multiple destinations, the Lorenz Diverter Valve can be installed horizontally or vertically. Divert the blade with product in the stream! Inlet and Outlets can be aluminum, stainless steel or carbon steel.

No More Fouling of Lactose in Bends: Pneumatic Transport with Dinnissen’s New Aeolus System Delivers 8-12% More Production Days

This smart, patented design of bends and switches prevents accumulation of lactose during the production process, reducing the need for cleaning (up to 12 times).

This drastically reduces downtime while improving product quality and hygiene.

Silo Lines for Abrasives Employ Deflection Elbows

Chemco Systems is employing deflection elbows in its silo feed lines that convey powdered activated carbon, pebble and hydrated lime, sodium carbonate, fly ash, potassium permanganate and other bulk chemicals used for air and water treatment at municipal, industrial, mining, food processing, and pulp and paper facilities. | Read more »

Benefits of Pneumatic Conveying for the Food & Beverage Industry

Pneumatic conveying systems are an efficient means of transporting a wide variety of bulk materials like powders and granules. It should come as no surprise then that the food and beverage industry uses this technology to move pet food, flour, sugar, wheat, oats, coffee, chocolate, salt, spices, clean side grain, dry milk, and even bone marrow throughout their facilities. | Read more »
