Dense phase pneumatic conveying utilizes a small amount of air at a relatively high pressure (above 15 PSIG) to move powdered and granular bulk materials through an enclosed convey line. Due to the low conveying velocity (200 to 3,000 feet per minute) produced by a Dense Phase system, materials are gently pushed through the convey line in controlled "slugs." As a result, Dense Phase is preferred for moving mixed batches or materials that may be abrasive, fragile, heavy, or hygroscopic in nature.
The efficiency of NOL-TEC's Dense Phase technology is further enhanced by our exclusive Air Assist™ technology. Instead of introducing all of the air required to move the material through the convey line at the beginning of the system via the transporter or pressure vessel, air is injected into the conveying line via strategically placed Air Assists. This essentially breaks the system down into several mini-systems, reducing overall resistance and lowering the air supply pressure required to convey the material. This results in increased system efficiency and reliability. | |
