Powder Handling

Dilute-phase conveying

Dilute phase systems operate above or below atmospheric pressure, and these are used to convey bulk materials from single or multiple intakes.

Vacuum conveying systems

Vacuum dilute phase systems operate in a vacuum under atmospheric pressure. This system is generally used for conveying bulk material from multiple intakes through a pipeline to an individual destination. Here, powder is separated from air through a vacuum filter.

Through an intake, the powder is dosed into the airflow and transported in a continuous flow at a relatively high velocity, through the pipeline to the dedicated destination. The vacuum pump includes a pressure transmitter to protect the powder-to-air-ratio in order to avoid blockage.

Unlike the pressure conveying system, the vacuum system easily picks up bulk material from an intake and does not heat up the product. The vacuum system has superior leak containment and is often used where there is a demand for cleanliness and ATEX considerations.

Pressure conveying systems

Positive pressure dilute phase systems operate above atmospheric pressure. This system is used to convey bulk materials from single or multiple intakes through a pipeline to one or more destinations. Here, powder is separated from air through a filter.

Through an airlock, powder is dosed into the airflow and transported in a continuous flow at a relatively high velocity, through the pipeline to the dedicated destination. The blower pump is equipped with a pressure transmitter to protect the powder-to-air-ratio in order to avoid blockage in the pipeline.

Pressure systems typically have higher capacities and can convey product over further distances than a vacuum system.

Daniatech pressure airlock hopper is equipped with air leakage venting, level sensor and service manway. The Daniatech airlock ensures a gentle product flow.
