Whirl-Air provides complete systems designed to increase efficiency within your plant through the use of pneumatic conveying. Whirl-Air customers typically rely on our experience to design a complete system to accept delivery of bulk materials or ingredients and deliver these products to end-use points throughout a processing facility. Whirl-Air expertise includes Dense Phase Pressure Conveying Systems, Dense Phase Vacuum Conveying and Dilute Phase Conveying Systems.

Building The Right System For Your Application

Whirl-Air begins your pneumatic conveying project by assessing your needs and plant layout to provide the optimum system to achieve your material transport goals. Whirl-Air Sales Engineers are industry veterans who understand how to transport your materials with maximum efficiency.

We start by analyzing your products in the Whirl-Air Testing Facility for compatibility to a complete system solution. In over 50 years in the bulk material handling industry, Whirl-Air most likely has experience with products of the consistency and characteristics of the products you want to convey. This experience places us in a unique position to foresee conveying problems in plant conditions.

Taking into consideration the characteristics of your products, your plant environment, desired transport rates and locations, Whirl-Air delivers a complete engineered transport system. Your total system solution may include railcar or truck unloading of your bulk dry products. Further steps in handling your product can also include storage silos, weighing, blending and in-plant delivery.

Combining all of these facets into the development of your system, Whirl-Air will specify one of our time proven conveying designs to transport your products:

• Dense Phase Pressure Conveying is ideally suited for conveying hard-to-handle, abrasive or fragile products. These low-velocity systems generally incorporate in line booster fittings to add required conveying air or gas. Air courses are typically compressed air.
• Dense Phase Vacuum Conveying is also a low-velocity system, used to handle fragile materials where breakage is a concern, or when higher delivery rates are required.
• Dilute Phase Conveying Systems is available in both vacuum and pressure systems. Dilute phase systems are high-velocity systems with the conveyed materials held in suspension in the conveying line. Generally used for lower tonnage demands, products with minimal abrasive characteristics and installations where product degradation is not an issue.
