Abstract. Essential to the effective operation of a pneumatic conveying system is the efficient feeding of the solids into the pipeline. Feeding devices perform a variety of functions, including a sealing function, in which the conveying gas is essentially sealed from a storage hopper holding the product to be conveyed.

Although venturis capable of feeding materials into conveying systems with operating pressure drops of 0.3 bar are commercially available, the pressure drop across the venturi can be of the same order. Such a venturi is shown in Fig. 5.18. Venturi feeders, however, are yet another type of feeder that can have its operating pressure range ...

Centralised conveying system. ONE WIRE 3 is Moretto centralised system logic. The main feature includes the easy installation (single cable bus structure) and immediate extendibility of the network backbone of our centralized systems. A single ONE WIRE server can control up to 80 receivers and 8 suction units. An intelligent control system …

You may have seen a parts feeding system with a conveyor added for a variety of reasons. A normal system usually has a straight-line vibratory unit, or a gravity fed track. However, sometimes these components cannot perform as well as a conveyor. Therefore, the application at hand may require a conveyor to successfully fulfill the …

Metering + Feeding. Either integrated in a legacy or new system, our solutions enable the metering and feeding of dry bulk materials at razor-sharp precision into a convey line, …

Vacuum Conveying uses suction to transfer dry materials (powders, granules, etc.) from one location to another within a processing area. This is typically used to transfer powders from containers (drums, bag dump stations, bulk bag unloaders, feed hoppers, etc.) to a receiving vessel for further processing.

Our automated feeding systems feature a wide range of products, including vibratory drive units, belt conveyors, custom-fabricated tables, storage hoppers, linear feeders, and so …

242 Feeding of pneumatic conveying systems where K 2 is the loss factor for tapered contractions and lies between 0.04 and 0.06 for included angles less than 45°. At an included angle of 25° a typical loss factor of K 2 = 0.05.On the basis of the discussions for K 1 it must be noted that there is no need for correcting K 2. Venturi calculations start with …

Vacuum Conveying - Dense Phase. Dense phase vacuum conveying systems use high capacity vacuum pumps (up to 99% vacuum) to convey materials from a feed hopper or silo to a receiving vessel or vacuum hopper where the air and product are separated by a filter. When the vessel is full, the vacuum is isolated and the conveyed product is discharged ...

A vibrating hopper is generally used upstream of a vibrating or centrifugal bowl in order to feed it and thus increase its autonomy. ICM's hoppers come with several standard storage tank volumes (5, 10, 15, 30, 50, 70 and 100 liters), but our engineering department can design a customized hopper for you. Our hoppers are made of stainless ...
