Pneumatic conveying systems use a series of pipelines to move bulk granular and powdered products through the manufacturing process using pumped air. This system is renowned for its ability to smoothly transfer products without damage or loss, something which can be challenging to achieve with other types of conveying systems.

Companies such as aptech.uk.com/pneumatic-conveying-systems stock a variety of different types of pneumatic conveying systems including vacuum, pressure, closed loop, filterless and velocity controlled. They all consist of enclosed, airtight pipelines which can be set up either horizontally or vertically to suit your individual circumstances and the size of your manufacturing premises.
Operators transfer products smoothly through the conveying system using positive or negative airflow pressure as needed to propel products through the system from one end to the other.
Benefits of pneumatic conveying systems
Because these systems consist of fully enclosed pipelines, the risk of contamination is minimised to as low as is reasonably practicable and the controlled atmosphere within the pipelines ensures that the products being moved remain in optimal quality conditions throughout.
For this reason, pneumatic conveying systems are favoured by the pharmaceutical and food industries where high quality outputs free from contamination are essential to human health and the business’ reputation.
Pneumatic conveying systems also have very few moving parts meaning that they are easy to maintain and tend not to suffer from unexpected breakdowns and malfunctions.
In conclusion
Pneumatic conveying systems offer a simple and effective method of transferring powdered and granular products through a warehouse without risk of contamination.
