Worth A Second Look
Rules of Thumb For Pneumatic Conveying Pipelines
05/01/2012
Quite often, during the design of conveying systems, not enough attention is paid to the design of the conveying pipeline and its components. This disregard often leads to some major conveying system problems such as low conveying rates, conveying line plugging, excessive wear and tear in the conveying line, high conveying system pressure drop, product breakage, fines and streamer generation and product cross-contamination. Guidelines presented in this article help mitigate or avoid such problems.
