Dense phase pressure conveying system
Efficiently transport high-capacity powders across long distances with precision and reduced wear, ensuring delicate and abrasive materials remain intact during processing.
Conveys and Separates Industrial Powders Efficiently
The Dense Phase Pressure Conveying System from GEA efficiently transports powders and granules across various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Utilizing compressed air, it conveys materials with low velocity to minimize abrasion and degradation. Ideal for handling protein powders, pharmaceutical excipients, and metal powders for additive manufacturing, this system manages up to 30 tonnes per hour over distances exceeding 300 meters. Automation is streamlined through PLC controls, enhancing integration into existing lines. The system supports customizable features, such as air injectors and pulse air injection, to optimize air consumption and material flow. Constructed in stainless steel, it adheres to sanitation standards and offers ease of cleaning. Whether configured for batch or continuous operations, this system ensures reliable and adaptable material handling tailored to your specific needs.
