Pneumatic Conveying Systems

Bulk solids like grain cereals, powder, food, plastic pellets can be conveyed with pneumatic conveying systems. Both pressure and vacuum systems are used for conveying. Since the material is transported by air, product degradation is kept minimum with respect to mechanical conveyors like augers and elevators. The dust formation in the medium is also prevented because of the closed piping system. Polimak Ltd. is specialized in dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems.

Dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems are one of the products of Polimak Ltd. We manufacture grain vacs for loading and unloading of food like wheat, corn and fish feed. Pneumatic fish feeding systems of Polimak Ltd. serves aquaculture industry for years.

Pneumatic Conveying Applications

Packaging:

Materials can be vacuumed from anywhere and conveyed to bulk bags, big bags and containers. Filling and loading become easier with pneumatic transport systems.

Truck / Tractor Loading / Unloading:

Bulk solids in depot, silo and basement can be transfered to / from bulk transport vehicles.

Conveying in Production Line:

Conveying can be done within the factory building between machines, silos and containers.

Conveying Between Buildings:

Bulk materials can be conveyed within a pipeline between buildings and structures

Feed Spreading:

Animal feed can be spread with air pressure for feeding animals in farms

Truck Unloading

Conveying From A Silo to Truck

Conveying From a Machine to Silo

Silo Loading

Dosing Different Granular Materials and Filling a Mixer or Blender

Unloading a Mixer and Loading a Bag

Loading a Bag with Bulk Solids on the Basement

Industries Served / Bulk Materials Conveyed:

Agriculture:

Wheat, flour, semolina, barley, oat, rye, bran, chaff, feed, seed, corn, chickpea, bean, lentil, pea, soy bean, sesame, rice, pice flour, dried fruit, hazelnut, peanut, almond, sunflower seed, cotton seed, grain cereals, chestnut are some of the bulk materials that can be conveyed with pneumatic transportation systems.

Food Industry:

Grains and powders like coffee grain, coffe powder, sugar, salt and spice can be conveyed. Stainless steel equipment (rotary valves, piping, silo) is used in food conveying.

Other Industrial Materials:

Cement, mining minerals, petrochemical materials, pharmaceuticals, medical powders, calcite, ash, glass powder, marble powder, plastic pellets, sawdust are some of the bulk solids that can be conveyed.

Sample Application:  Grain Vac,  Mobile Pneumatic Conveyor

Grain Vac is a mobile conveying system used in agriculture. A vacuum hose is used to vacuum the grain from basement, silo container etc. Conveying hose is connected to a discharge cyclone which provides an easier truck loading. One user is enough for conveying operations. Grain Vacs can be operated by either electrical motor, diesel engine or tractor PTO. Speciel hinge mechanism lets them to be carried by tractor.

Major advantages of grain vacs are:

-         Dust free operation

-         Product degradation is minimal

-         No moving parts like augers that may cause injurence

-         Augers are to be adjusted by moving during conveying, there are no adjustments required for grain vacs

-         Longer conveying distances than augers
