Pressure transport, also known as pneumatic transport with overpressure, is a modern method of transporting bulk materials such as powders, granules, and grains using compressed air. Thanks to its versatility and efficiency, it is used in many industries.
Key advantages:
- Long-distance transport (even >100 m)
- Minimization of losses and dust emissions
- Closed system – high level of hygiene and safety
- Easy installation – pipelines can be routed vertically and horizontally
- Process automation – integration with dosing, weighing, and control systems
What is pressure transport?
In a pressure transport system, material is forced into a pipeline using compressed air. The air stream “pushes” the material through the pipeline to the receiving point, where it is separated and unloaded.
Types of pressure transport
Lean phase transport
- The material is carried in a high-speed air stream.
- Ideal for light and dry materials.
- Longer distances and greater transport heights.
Dense phase transport
- The material is transported in batches, with less air.
- Suitable for delicate, abrasive, or heavy raw materials.
- Reduced energy consumption and lower risk of particle damage.
Design assumptions
What can be transported?
- Food industry: e.g., flour, sugar, cocoa, starch,
- Pharmaceutical industry: e.g., various types of powders, active substances,
- Chemical industry: e.g., pigments, resins, detergents,
- Plastics processing: e.g., granulates, powders,
- Construction industry: e.g., cement, lime, fly ash,
- Feed industry: feed and feed additives.
Examples of system components
- pressure feeders (overpressure chambers),
- distribution and check valves,
- steel or plastic pipelines,
- receiving tanks with filters,
- loading and unloading devices: rotary valves, butterfly valves, dispensers,
- quality control (e.g., metal detectors, sieves)
- automation and safety systems.
