Pneumatic conveying is the use of airflow energy to transport powder and granular materials along the airflow direction in a closed pipe. It is a specific application of fluidization technology. The pneumatic conveying device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can be horizontal, vertical or inclined. The transportation can also carry out physical operations such as heating, cooling, drying and gas classification of materials or some chemical operations during the transportation process.
1, according to different pressures, pneumatic conveying is divided into three types: low pressure (below 50Kpa), medium pressure (50-100Kpa), high pressure (above 100Kpa).
2, according to the position of the gas source, the pneumatic conveying is divided into three kinds of conveying modes: positive pressure, negative pressure and suction pressure.
3, according to the intensity of the powder and pellets in the pipeline, the pneumatic conveying is divided into:
1. Dilute phase suspension and dispersion flow: The flow mode in the conveying pipeline with high wind speed and the material moving in a dispersed and flying state belongs to the low concentration conveying mode.
2, the bottom phase of the dilute phase suspension tube: the wind speed in the pipeline is low, close to the suspended limit wind speed. The material is concentrated in the bottom of the suspension tube at the bottom of the tube (or low-speed suspension flow).
3. Dense phase sand dune flow: The flow pattern of material sliding in the bottom of the tube like a dune, belonging to a high-concentration conveying state. It is characterized by the principle of fluidization when conveying fine powder, and is most suitable for conveying fine powder which is easy to contain air. The damage of the material and the wear of the pipeline are obviously better than the suspension flow.
4. Dense phase plug flow: The flow mode of the material group into a plug is a kind of high-concentration transport mode. The transport system with this form has small gas consumption, high transport efficiency, and is not easy to produce crushing and pipeline wear. In the case, almost no drawing occurs when the resin pellets are conveyed.
There are many materials that can be used for pneumatic conveying. Common representative materials are as follows
Rotary valve
System introduction: This system generally uses Roots blower as the gas source, rotary feeder or ejector as the feeding device. The material is fed into the conveying pipeline through the feeding device and mixed with the high-speed airflow, and then transported to the terminal receiving bin, separated by the gas. After the device is filtered, the gas is discharged into the atmosphere. The system is suitable for the project with short delivery distance (within 300 meters) and multiple receiving bins;
Advantages of the system: The conveying process is stable, and it is easy to realize a distributed distribution to multiple places, and the pipe is positive pressure, even if the pipe leaks, it will not pollute the conveyed materials.
Material seal pump
System introduction: This system generally uses Roots blower as the gas source, and the material seal pump is used as the feeding device. The material enters the conveying pipeline through the material sealing pump, and is mixed with the high-speed airflow and then transported to the terminal receiving bin, which is filtered by the gas separation device. The gas is discharged into the atmosphere, and the system is suitable for the unloading condition in which the silo is unloaded and reaches a certain level;
System advantages: simple equipment, low maintenance rate, low energy consumption, ideal equipment for energy saving without power equipment except gas source.
Single warehouse pump
System introduction: This system generally uses air compressor as the air source, warehouse pump, high-pressure rotary valve, screw pump, etc. as the feeding device. The material falls into the feeding device from the silo, and the high-pressure gas is input into the conveying pipe to let the gas It is mixed with the material to make the material fluidized, and then transported to the terminal receiving bin through the high-pressure airflow. The gas is filtered by the separation device and discharged into the atmosphere, which is suitable for long-distance and large-transport working conditions;
System advantages: low flow rate, low wear, less breakage, intermittent delivery.
Multi-bin pump
System introduction: This system generally uses air compressor as the air source, warehouse pump, high-pressure rotary valve, screw pump, etc. as the feeding device. The material storage bin falls into the feeding device, and the high-pressure gas is input into the conveying pipe to let the gas and The material is thoroughly mixed to make the material fluidized, and then transported to the terminal receiving bin through the high-pressure airflow. The gas is filtered by the separation device and discharged into the atmosphere. The system is suitable for multiple warehouse pumps to work simultaneously or separately, to one or more places. Transport conditions;
System advantages: low flow rate, low wear, low breakage, low energy consumption, continuous delivery.
Nozzle
System introduction: This system generally uses Roots blower as the gas source, and the suction nozzle as the feeding device. The material enters the conveying pipeline from the inlet together with the atmosphere, and is transported to the terminal receiving bin through the negative pressure airflow, and the gas is filtered by the gas separation device. Entering the Roots vacuum pump to the atmosphere, the system is suitable for mechanically difficult to access conditions;
Advantages of the system: The conveying process is stable, and it is easy to realize centralized transportation to multiple places, and the inside of the pipe is negative pressure, effectively avoiding the dust problem.
System introduction: The vacuum pump in the end of the conveying system is used to suck the air in the system, and a negative pressure airflow below atmospheric pressure is formed in the conveying pipe. The material flows into the pipeline from the starting nozzle together with the atmosphere, and the material is received as the airflow is delivered to the end separator. Gravity or centrifugal force is separated from the airflow, and the vacuum pump positive pressure delivers the material to the destination bin. The system is suitable for working under certain conditions of a certain distance. Negative pressure shares a set of gas source equipment, saving investment;
System advantages: The system has the advantages of suction type and pressure feed type. The material is sucked from several points and sent to several discharge points, which can better meet the requirements of complex transportation process.
System introduction: The conveying gas used in this system uses inert gas. Generally, the Roots blower is used, the air compressor is used as the air source, the rotary feeder and the warehouse pump are used as the feeding device, and the material falls into the conveying pipe through the feeder, and the high speed After the gas is mixed, it is sent to the end receiving bin, and the inert gas filtered by the gas separation device is re-connected to the inlet of the Roots blower and the air compressor. Suitable for chemically unstable, flammable, explosive material handling projects.
System advantages: gas recycling, energy saving, reliable delivery, effectively prevent material deterioration and explosion problems that may occur at high speed conveying.
System introduction: including materials storage, transportation, weighing ingredients, dust removal, material mixing and other equipment; according to the production process requirements, specific material characteristics, reasonable rotation of the "addition valve" or "reduction method" and other weighing methods It has multiple working modes such as single bucket single material, single bucket multi-material, multi-bucket and multi-material;
System advantages: reliable system, strong applicability, high weighing accuracy, stable quality and easy management. A variety of control mode selection, can be controlled by PLC, man-machine interface, single-chip computer, industrial computer, etc., reasonable site layout and planning design, can be configured according to user production volume and workshop environment.
