Dense
Phase Pressure Conveying Systems
Dense
Phase Pressure Conveying systems, as illustrated here, are used
in applications calling for the transport of hard to handle materials.
In this system, materials are unloaded from a railcar to silos with
subsequent on-demand delivery of products to in-plant process bins.
In
a typical Whirl-Air Dense Phase Pressure Conveying system, the railcar
is spotted over a track mounted hopper/transporter.
Material is discharged from railcar into transporter. The vessel
fills then pressurizes, conveying the material to a selected silo.
This system can be set up with manual or automatic switching, utilizing
precision Whirl-Air two and three-way switches. In the system shown
above, the system is manual.
From
silos, screw conveyors feed the materials into a weigh-hopper for
down-stream on demand conveying to use bins. Typical dense phase
pressure conveying systems of this configuration are capable of
conveying 10 to 100 tons per hour. A variation to the in-ground
dense phase system is totally above ground, dense
phase high-vacuum unloading system.
