Using the pneumatic conveying system, if the packaging machine fails, the product can be easily transferred to other machines at the touch of a button. By eliminating many of the production/packaging bottlenecks of the bucket elevator system, the pneumatic conveying system can add approximately 8 hours of production time per week.
For snack food manufacturers, replacing bucket elevators with a pneumatic conveying system eliminates the need for monthly preventive maintenance on the 20 or so moving parts of their bucket elevator-type systems. Now, with a pneumatic conveying system, food producers can add nearly 30 hours of production time per year simply by cleaning or replacing hoses and checking the motor and oil twice a year.
Contrary to open air power delivery systems, which can cause respiratory hazards, a fully enclosed pneumatic delivery system has few moving parts due to the many moving parts of the operator, often requiring the operator to wear a dust mask (which increases cost), and when cleaning Strict safety measures are required to contribute to plant and personnel safety.
clean and safe
Because the inherent properties of pneumatic systems prevent loose powder from spreading into the air, it can provide a cleaner and safer environment for the surrounding environment, and more and more organizations are investigating the safety reasons for using pneumatic conveying systems.
According to OSHA, in the commodity production industry, which accounts for 35 percent of all occupational illness and injury cases, "manual handling of materials is a major source of compensable injuries."
When feasible, it is a best practice to reduce hazards by engineering hazards outside of the design process. While four out of five manual material injuries affect the back when manually transporting dry bulk materials (lifting, repetitive motion, slipping and falling), the pneumatic conveying system effectively eliminates other undesirable safety hazards such as poor breathing conditions and dust problems.
Any time a pneumatic conveying system is used, the costs associated with storage and the potential for dust explosions will be reduced. The right system means eliminating labor-intensive cleaning of floors, surfaces, and unnecessary mechanical cleaning.
In addition to creating a safer environment (due to its closed nature) requiring less cleaning, the ability to recycle or recycle materials is another way production businesses can save money by using closed vacuum systems.
agriculture
Product recycling in many industries is an important aspect of reducing costs, whether in processing recycled products for reuse or separating products and reducing waste. From finely powdered substances to larger particles, pneumatic experts know how to achieve minimal waste.
In the baking and snack industries, dispensing screws for dry material dispensers eliminate waste or material waste in operations such as sesame seed and corn meal toppers and spreaders.
Usually, the hopper that conveys the product to the dispenser by the pneumatic conveying system is located right above the batcher, causing the dry material to gather in the center of the batcher, requiring the operator to regularly spread the material evenly in the batcher by hand to ensure uniformity Distributed product.
Distributing Screws for Dry Material Dispensers feature a long extension tube with adjustable slots that connect to a pneumatic conveying system for even distribution of material throughout the dispenser with no operation required The operator monitors the machine and returns unused product into the system.
Sometimes, recycling a product is not about delivering it back into the system, but separating it for a completely different purpose.
An animal laboratory has reduced its conventional waste stream by approximately 75% using a pneumatic system to separate out organic corn meal feedstock for bedding. Not only does the system save about 10 hours of labor per week, but it also converts waste into a product that can be reused as fertilizer.
In today's downturn, only those companies with the most operational efficiency, flexibility and cost-effectiveness will survive. The pneumatic conveying system will effectively help enterprises reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.
