Choosing the right conveying method

on


Certainly! Choosing the right conveying method involves considering several factors. Here’s a concise guide to help industries make informed decisions:

  1. Material Properties:

    • Particle Size and Shape: Consider whether the material is fine powder, granules, or pellets.

    • Abrasive or Fragile: Some materials are abrasive (wear down equipment) or fragile (easily break).

    • Cohesive or Free-Flowing: Cohesive materials tend to stick together, affecting flow.

  2. Distance and Flow Rate:

    • Short Distances: For short distances (<100 meters), Lean Phase Conveying is efficient.

    • Long Distances: For longer distances, Dense Phase Conveying may be more suitable.

  3. Energy Efficiency:

    • Lean Phase: Lower energy consumption due to lower air-to-material ratio.

    • Dense Phase: Higher energy demand but robust for certain applications.

  4. Maintenance and Downtime:

    • Lean Phase: Minimal maintenance, longer equipment lifespan.

    • Dense Phase: Robust but occasional downtime for maintenance.

  5. Cost Considerations:

    • Lean Phase: Lower initial investment and operational costs.

    • Dense Phase: Higher upfront cost but durable.

  6. Material Degradation:

    • Lean Phase: Gentle handling minimizes product damage.

    • Dense Phase: Low velocity reduces wear on materials.
