Dense phase vacuum conveying system
Clyde Process Limited

Clyde Vacuum Dense Phase (VDP) pneumatic conveying systems offer end users the flexibility of a vacuum system with the product protection properties of a dense phase conveying system. Using high vacuum pumps and special feeding mechanisms, moving slugs of material are formed and conveyed at sub-atmospheric pressures. The result is minimized pipe friction and maximum protection for multiple applications.

Commonly Conveyed Products

Products commonly conveyed in vacuum dense phase systems include: friable products, blended products and abrasive materials. These products include sugar, pet food products, carbon black prills, plastic pellets, detergents and more. In many cases, the product needs to be evaluated based on process needs and possibly lab tested prior to final system selection to ensure the desired results can be achieved. Lab testing will also allow the product properties to be evaluated.

System Design

Clyde Vacuum Dense Phase Systems are designed for simple operation, reduced horsepower, minimal capital investment and ease of maintenance. Clyde VDP systems can be designed as automated material handling systems featuring either batch or continuous operation
