Ash handling pumps for dense phase pneumatic conveying
Efficiently convey various types of ash, including fly ash and waste incinerator ash, to streamline your production process while minimizing energy consumption and ensuring reliable, high-capacity continuous operation.

Conveys and Handles Diverse Ash Types
The Ash Handling Pumps from Schenck Process are designed to solve the complex task of transporting various ash types, including fly ash and electrostatic precipitator ash, across power generation and heavy industry environments. Featuring dense phase pneumatic conveying systems, this equipment excels in delivering continuous, high-capacity ash transport over distances up to 750 meters. Its Multi PD Dense Phase Pumps reduce air consumption and are equipped with integrated electro-pneumatic controls, ensuring seamless integration with existing plant infrastructure. The pumps convey ash directly to silos, minimizing intermediate handling and operational downtime. Constructed for durability, these systems operate effectively up to 480°C, handling up to 100 tons per hour, making them ideal for high-demand scenarios in cement, steelmaking, and waste incineration facilities.
