What Type of Conveying Equipment Do You Need?

Typically most applications fall into these parameters when needing to convey a bulk solid material.

Distance Guidelines for Conveying: 

  • Under 50 feet – Mechanical Conveying: Augers, U-Troughs, Vibratory, AeroMechanical or small venturi based pneumatic system.
  • 50 to 600 feet with a few turns – Pneumatic Conveying: Dilute Phase, Dense Phase
  • Over 1,000 feet – Mechanical Conveying: usually Belt or Drag Chain

Conveying Rate Guidelines: 

  • Under 1,000 pounds/hour – Mechanical Conveying or Venturi system
  • 1,000 to 80,000 pounds/hour – Pneumatic Conveying
  • 80,000+ pounds/hour – Mechanical Conveying

Which Rotary Valve/Airlock is Best for Your Pneumatic Conveying System?

Is there a difference in pressure above and below the valve?

Is the material abrassive?

Is the material corrossive or need food grade contacts?

Which is more important?

Rotary Valves + Airlocks

Different names. Various uses. It’s how you apply rotary valves that determine what you call them. More importantly, it determines how to select the right one for your system. Rely on our team’s expertise with just about every material and product moving along lines across the country to match the right legendary airlock to your needs.

Material Testing

Knowing how your material will perform when pneumatically conveyed is critical to your system’s success. The best way to ensure a design is engineered and sized to be the most cost-effective method to convey materials is by testing it for the following in a real-time, operational system:

  • Flow Characteristics
  • Convey Design Parameters
  • Degradation
