Dense phase pneumatic conveying system for powder transfer
Ensure gentle and efficient material transport with minimal maintenance and energy consumption, while preserving product integrity and reducing wear on your pipeline infrastructure.
Transports and Preserves Quality of Bulk Materials
The Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying System from Gericke is engineered to transport bulk materials over long distances while maintaining their integrity. This system utilizes pressure vessels to gently convey powders, granules, and pellets as a continuous layer or pulsed plug, minimizing changes in bulk density and particle size distribution. Ideal for industries ranging from food processing to pharmaceuticals, the system excels in transporting diverse end products like infant formula, ibuprofen API, and construction chemicals.
Capable of operating at pressures from 1 to 6 barg, this system supports efficient material handling over distances up to 500 meters with throughput capacities up to 150 m³/h. By eliminating rotating parts in pressure vessels, maintenance costs are reduced and the risk of contamination is minimized. The system’s gas and dust-tight design ensures superior energy efficiency due to high solids loading, resulting in smaller pipe diameters and lower gas consumption.
Gericke’s conveying solutions are available in carbon steel or stainless steel, meeting PED 2014/68/EC, ASME, and GB 150 standards. Integration is streamlined with a ready-to-use STP 61 pneumatic conveying controller and options for customizing to specific industry applications.
