Lean phase pressure conveying for powder handling
Industries dealing with powder handling often require efficient methods to transport materials over moderate distances. Traditional methods might not suffice when it comes to continuous and smooth operation, especially in applications involving low to moderate capacities and multiple destinations.
Transmit powders smoothly and continuously
The lean phase pressure conveying system by GEA is a method used to transport powders through a pipeline using positive displacement blowers. It is particularly suited for low to moderate capacity materials over distances up to 200 meters. The system operates continuously, charging the product at the loading point and moving it without interruption. This makes it adaptable for dosing and continuous weighing applications. Special feeding devices like rotary valve airlocks or Venturi are used to introduce the material into the high-pressure pipeline. The system’s low operating pressures allow for less expensive pipelines, making it a cost-effective solution. Options for system customization include specialized feeding for cohesive products, air filtration, and sanitary designs for food, dairy, and pharmaceutical applications.
