Component Parts for Pneumatic Conveyors

Although you might not call it so, a residential central vacuum system is an example of a pneumatic conveying system.  Likewise, the money-exchanging tubes used at a bank drive-through window.

Pneumatic conveyors are either carrier systems (like the bank tubes) that push items from an entrance point to an exit point or dilute-phase systems that use push-pull pressure to guide materials through various entry and/or exit points (like a system to convey free flowing or light powdery material.)

Pneumatic conveying systems use a stream of air to convey materials through ductwork or pipes called "transportation lines."  A high velocity air stream is produced in one of thee ways:  a vacuum system, a positive-pressure system, or a combination vacuum and pressure system.

Chicago Metal Rolled Products supplies component parts for pneumatic conveying systems.

Pneumatic Conveying Systems: Applications for Curved Steel

Light powdery materials like cement and fly ash can be transported by pneumatic conveying systems. Heavier materials like grain can also be moved this way, but heavier ductwork might be required. Chicago Metal Rolled Products has formed 12ft lengths of welded pipe through which grain is blown into a wagon.
