The Function of Pneumatic Conveying Systems in Wheat Handling Equipment

Pneumatic conveying systems are frequently employed in India's wheat flour handling system because of their effectiveness, dependability, and hygienic operation. Materials can be moved quickly and effectively using air pressure in pneumatic conveying systems. In the quick-paced atmosphere of a bakery or food processing facility, this means that ingredients like flour can be delivered swiftly from one place to another In addition to being enclosed, pneumatic conveying systems allow for hygienic operation. In the food business, where cleanliness is crucial to preventing contamination and ensuring food safety, this is significant.

Pneumatic conveying is chosen depending on site-specific factors. The finest kind of pneumatic conveying system for the use of wheat flour is a lean-phase pneumatic system, also known as a dilute-phase pneumatic system.

There are two types of dilute-phase pneumatic system

Positive Pressure Type

Positive pressure systems are used to transport bulk goods over medium distances with a higher capacity than hoover systems since they operate above atmospheric pressure.

With diverter valves, multiple destination deliveries, one after the other, can be arranged easily with positive pressure systems.

Moreover, many input points into a single line can be offered to guarantee proper air quantity, valve selection, and customized conveyance Rotary air lock valves.

Vacuum/Suction/Negative Pressure Type

Negative pressure conveying systems operate with air pressures below atmospheric pressure. The material is drawn into the air stream through a suction tool or the Rotary Airlock Valve (RAL) by applying hoover pressure at the desired location. The benefit of internal gas leakage is that atmospheric dust injection is all but eliminated.

A negative pressure system is critical for toxic and explosive materials, and these materials can operate without a closed system, provided adequate safety measures like exhaust venting are taken care of.
