Abrasive materials
The transport of fragile, abrasive or lumpy materials presents a challenge that many companies have to face daily with the risk of product damage and system wear.
The developed technology by Air-Tec system for the dense phase pneumatic conveyance ensures high performance in the transport of delicate and abrasive materials, such as glass, sand, and corundum. The low speed combined with a reduced amount of compressed air or other gaseous fluid, avoids pipes wear and preserves the integrity of the product. It also contributes greatly to reduced maintenance costs.
The materials that tend to clog are able to flow homogenously within the pipe until the selected destination. The use of specific boosters makes it possible to reduce the friction inside the pipes in order to safeguard the materials properties and avoid lumps.
