I am doing a project on pneumatic conveying of maize starch. In this process,...
Corn (maize) starch is one of many common dry materials that is flammable and when placed in the wrong set of circumstances can create an explosion risk. These circumstances are: 1) small particle size...
View ArticleWe currently utilize pneumatic receivers via a negative pneumatic system...
Build-up or scaling in a convey line or receiver generally occurs when there is sufficient velocity to impinge a particle onto a surface but insufficient velocity to remove it. Then, depending on the...

The exact arrangement that best suits you may be influenced by how quickly the truck needs to be emptied (convey rate) but here are some general approaches: Pressure Only: A pressure pneumatic system...
View ArticleI want to pneumatically convey a low MIE (minimum ignition energy) (
As it seems you understand already, the risk you are facing is the small particle dust in your material which could be found in concentrations sufficient to support ignition if combined with an O2 rich...
View ArticleI am using clay through a pneumatic system that is too fluidized. It flows...
Clay in small particle form is very fluidizable and retains its fluid nature well. In a high velocity pneumatic convey system (dilute phase), the turbulence of the air keeps the material in a totally...
