Conveying
Aptech specialise in lean phase pneumatic conveying and can offer three types of system to suit process requirements.
Vacuum Conveying
The basic vacuum conveying system employs a metering device at the inlet; a pipeline; receiver; vent filter and an exhauster.
Pressure Conveying
The conventional lean phase pneumatic conveying system uses a blower; metering valve; conveying pipeline; receiver and vent filter and can operate at higher pressures than vacuum conveying systems, resulting in higher conveying rates per pipe size
Closed Loop Conveying
The closed loop system of conveying in a sealed circuit of pipe has distinct benefits for conveying Hygroscopic and Hazardous products. Benefits include conveying in dry or inert gas with minimum loss, and confinement of toxic products. Operating limits are similar to those for lean phase pressure conveying.
