Vacuum suction pneumatic conveying
In vacuum suction pneumatic conveying a hose is placed inside the silo at the top of the pile.
At the end of the line, i.e. where the product must be air-transported, there is a materials receiver filter cyclone with a suction blower.
Underneath the materials receiver (cyclone filter), there is a flap or a rotary valve to achieve a vacuum in the system.
The setup is similar to the principle of operation of a vacuum cleaner.
The system is suitable for light products, such as plastic pellets, and for a small conveying throughput (1 ton/h).
All pneumatic conveying systems need filters to separate the transported product from the air, which must be discharged into the environment clean and dust-free.
