working principle

The working principle of a Pneumatic Conveying System, such as that offered by IVC Pumps Pvt. Ltd., involves the transportation of bulk materials through pipelines using air or other gases as the conveying medium. The system starts with the generation of high-velocity air through a blower or compressor, which creates the necessary pressure to move the material. Bulk material is introduced into the air stream through a controlled feeding mechanism, allowing it to be suspended and conveyed through the pipeline. Depending on the application, the system can operate in either dilute phase, where materials are transported at high speeds and low densities, or dense phase, where materials are conveyed at lower speeds but higher densities. At the end of the conveying line, a separation system—such as a cyclone or bag filter—captures the bulk material from the air, allowing for efficient collection and minimal dust emissions. This technology is widely used in various industries due to its flexibility, space efficiency, and ability to handle a diverse range of materials with reduced degradation.

Application

IVC Pumps Pvt. Ltd. is a leading Pneumatic Conveying System Supplier in Nigeria.

At IVC Pumps Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad, we design, manufacture, and supply pneumatic conveying systems optimised for varied industrial applications.

Our systems are engineered for high reliability, minimal maintenance, and maximum product integrity.

Our pneumatic conveying systems are part of IVC’s broader portfolio of vacuum pumps, liquid ring compressors, roots blowers, mechanical vacuum boosters, and specialized vacuum & conveying solutions.

A pneumatic conveying system is a mechanism to transport bulk solid materials through a closed pipeline or network of pipes by utilizing airflow or air pressure differences.

Material is introduced into an airstream, and carried from one location to another (source to destination) with the help of blowers, compressors, vacuum sources, or pressure vessels.

The material is then separated from the carrier gas at the discharge point.

These systems replace or augment mechanical conveyors for applications where cleanliness, flexibility, space constraints, or contamination are concerns.

Features:

When you choose IVC, you get systems with features crafted to ensure operational excellence:
Material integrity & gentle handling: Reduced abrasions, breakage, or degradation of material during conveyance.
Low contamination & dust tightness: Fully enclosed pipelines, filters, separators. Good for hygiene-sensitive industries.
Customisable construction materials: Stainless steel (SS304, SS316), alloy metals, special linings or coatings to suit corrosive or abrasive materials.
Modular design & flexibility: Easy to configure layouts, change points, scale capacity.
Efficient airflow / pressure control: Optimal blower/compressor or vacuum source sizing, valves and feeders, control panels.
Automation & monitoring: Sensors, flow meters, differential pressure measurement, control systems to adjust flow, pressure.
Low maintenance components: Rotary valves, feeders, minimal mechanical parts in contact with the product, easy-access for cleaning.
Safety & compliance: Proper filtration, dust suppression, explosion safety (if required), clean-out features.
