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 Manufacturer and Supplier of Pneumatic Conveying System in Kenya.

A Pneumatic Conveying System is an industrial system that transports bulk solids through pipelines using a controlled stream of air or gas.

Its flexible design, high reliability, and energy-efficient operation make it a preferred solution for modern industrial and chemical processes.

The system uses vacuum or pressure to move materials, enabling efficient, flexible, and controlled transport without mechanical conveyors.

Our systems ensure maximum throughput, minimal product degradation, and reliable operation for cement, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and plastics industries.

We also deal in Vacuum Pumps, including Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps, Water Ring Vacuum Pumps, Single Stage and Two Stage Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps, Mono Block Water Ring Vacuum Pumps, Twin Lobe Roots Blowers, Mechanical Vacuum Booster Systems, Oil Seal Rotary Vacuum Pumps and Pneumatic Conveying System.

Process of Pneumatic Conveying System:

  1. Material Loading – Bulk material is fed into a hopper or feeder.
  2. Airflow Generation – Compressed air or vacuum creates airflow in pipelines.
  3. Material Transport – Materials are suspended in air and conveyed through pipelines.
  4. Separation & Collection – Cyclone separators or filters separate material from air.
  5. Discharge – Material is delivered to storage bins, silos, or processing units.
  6. Filtration & Recycling – Air is filtered and recycled to reduce energy consumption.

Applications of Pneumatic Conveying System:

• Pharmaceutical powders and granules
• Food and beverage ingredients
• Chemical powders and pellets
• Cement, minerals, and construction materials
• Plastic granules and polymers
• Feed and agriculture products
• Bulk material transfer in production plants

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

What types of materials can be conveyed using a pneumatic system?
Powders, granules, pellets, chemical powders, food ingredients, plastics, cement, and similar bulk solids.

Can pneumatic conveying handle heat-sensitive materials?
Yes, the low-speed dense phase conveying option protects heat-sensitive materials from degradation.

Are pneumatic systems dust-free?
Yes, enclosed pipelines and filtration systems minimize dust and prevent contamination.
