What are the types and functions of powder pneumatic conveying equipment?
In industrial production, the transportation of powder is a very special process due to the presence of dust explosions and dust pollution. In general,Powder conveyingUsing pneumatic conveying, with the demand for production costs, pipe chain conveying has emerged. In this article, we will compare the better of the two conveying methods.
Advantages of pneumatic conveying:
(1) The equipment has a simple structure, easy installation, low control costs, and short construction time. The main components of the pneumatic conveying system are welded structures of steel plates, consisting of components in the shape of pipes and tanks. There is no relative movement between the components, and maintenance operations are relatively easy, making it easy to achieve automated operations.
(2) High conveying efficiency, equipment has no return transportation. Other modes of transportation have the disadvantage of empty program return, while the transport medium of pneumatic conveying is air, which only needs to be discharged into the atmosphere at the terminal. During the conveying process, the feeding port can continuously add materials to achieve continuous conveying.
(3) The labor hygiene conditions are good. During pneumatic conveying, the material runs inside the pipe and is under negative pressure. The material dust will not leak out and fly, and the material will not scatter or contaminate the environment.
(4) The conveying pipeline of pneumatic conveying is convenient for setting up the pipeline network according to local conditions, with simple and flexible layout, which can fully utilize the workshop area and easily adapt to the workshop environment.
Disadvantages of pipe chain transportation:
(1) It is difficult to determine the conveying volume during the conveying process.
(2) Due to the presence of a pipe chain, the transportation method causes significant wear and tear on the pipeline.
(3) Pipe chain transportation is prone to material dust flying and leaking everywhere.
(4) The pipeline is relatively single and cannot transport from multiple points to multiple points, with a single transport structure.
