Pneumatic Conveying Tubing Piping Systems

The first ever pneumatic conveyors were used to transfer grain from large ocean liners and a suction system was used to make the process easier to manage. Things have changed now and today’s pneumatic conveying tubing piping systems are made to be heavy duty so that they can withstand transporting bulk material of any kind. This has made this piping suction system irreplaceable in several industries that have to handle slurries, fine grains or liquids of any form.

The materials that can be transported, using vacuum conveying systems, range from dust like particles, coarse grain and solid matter that is comprised of small parts. The vacuum conveying methods can differ according to the material being transferred and according to the tests and calculation needed which might result in an alteration of the pipeline system.

The vacuum conveying pipes are used in a variety of application which is why this system is always tailor-made for the applications and components it is required for. They are abrasion-free and can be used to transport products safely from one place to another. The pipes have to be resistant to corrosion and have enough number of pipe connections for the applications they are meant for.

The cost of each Pneumatic Conveying Tubing Piping Systems can vary according to the material grades it has to be used for. They might be made up of a combination of different material grades to withstand internal and external pressures. This includes the pipe elbows which usually comprise of stainless steel and aluminum pipes and connections which are made to be resistant to corrosion. Depending on the mode of transportation, the velocity of the transport and the mediums that materials are being transferred from and to, smooth and rough pipes are required in the vacuum conveying system. The inner surface of the pipes are reinforced to acquire the appropriate degree of toughness.
