Pneumatic Powder and Solids Transport Systems
Some common solids as flour, sugar, cement and many more, can be suspended and transported in air referred to as pneumatic conveying. A pneumatic conveying system may transport solids up to approximately 50 mm in size. The powder or solid must be dry with no more than 20% moisture and not sticking.. In a pneumatic conveying system most of the energy is used for transport of the air itself.
