Pneumatic conveying systems are becoming more and more common in industrial production and are very suitable for conveying powdery and granular bulk materials. So, what are the advantages of pneumatic conveying technology compared to mechanical transportation?

1. Continuity.

Compared with mechanical conveying equipment, as long as sufficient raw materials are stored, the pneumatic conveying system can realize continuous conveying. The powder and granular materials are conveyed to various production links through pipelines, which can realize continuous production and improve production efficiency.

2. Flexibility.

The composition of the pneumatic conveying system is simple, and the pipeline can make full use of the space and be flexibly arranged in the workshop. Compared with conveying machines such as belt conveyors and screw conveyors, the pneumatic conveying system is small and flexible, does not take up too much space, and its conveying pipeline can avoid the space occupied by other equipment.

At the same time, the flexibility of the pneumatic conveying system is also reflected in the flexibility of the conveying direction. The essence of mechanical conveying is to drive the material in one direction through mechanical force, and the air conveying system can be adjusted by positive pressure, negative pressure and other methods, so that it can be sent from several points to one place, or from one place to be sent to one place. Count the points. The piping arrangement can also easily adjust the conveying direction for upward and downward transportation.

3. Automation.

When designing a pneumatic conveying system, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of different materials and adopt different types of pneumatic conveying. Therefore, the system needs to be operated through a PLC operating system. Therefore, most pneumatic conveying systems use automatic control systems, which are in line with the requirements of smart factories and modern factories. need.

4. Security.

Mechanical conveying devices such as belt conveyors and screw conveyors are different from the closed pipelines used in pneumatic conveying systems. Open conveying devices are more likely to cause dust. When conveying some flammable, explosive or easily oxidized materials Safe, its more likely to catch fire and explode. The pneumatic conveying system conveys materials through closed pipelines, which is not easy to cause external dust. At the same time, for materials with unstable chemical properties, inert gas can be used to convey materials, which greatly increases the safety.

5. Environmentally friendly.

Pneumatic conveying is not easy to cause dust, not only higher safety, conducive to safe production, but also to improve the sanitary conditions of the workshop, to ensure the physical and mental health and safety of operators, and to be conducive to environmental protection.

6. High efficiency.

The pneumatic conveying equipment is simple, occupies a small area, can make full use of the space, and the investment and maintenance costs of the equipment are low.
