Continuous pneumatic conveying system

for industrial applicationstransportfor bulk materials

Description
Cone fluidization units for pneumatic transport systems facilitate uniform flow of bulk solids prone to compaction or bridging in hoppers and silos. Air or gas is introduced at the cone base to create an upward flow that reduces interparticle friction and supports material discharge into the pneumatic conveying line. The system maintains material suspension, reduces blockages and stabilizes feed to downstream equipment.

Main Components

• Constructive material: stainless steel or carbon steel.
• Radial aeration system at cone base.
• Pressurized air accumulator.
• 8 mm pneumatic hose for local distribution.
• Fittings, mufflers and solenoid valve.
• Control interfaces for integration with main control panel.

Types of Cone Fluidization

• Forced air: High-pressure air injected at the cone base to keep material moving and prevent blockages.
• Vibration: Mechanical vibrations applied to the cone base to reduce compaction and improve flow.
• Agitation: Agitators or mixers at the cone base to keep material suspended and favor discharge.
• Gas injection: Injection of inert gas or compressed air to lower bulk density and facilitate continuous flow.

Industries Using Cone Fluidization

• Food (flours, sugars, powdered ingredients).
• Chemical (powders and solid chemicals).
• Pharmaceutical (active ingredients and excipients in powder form).
• Plastics (resins and bulk plastic materials).
• Construction (cement, sand and similar materials).
• Mining (handling of powdered minerals).
• Recycling (bulk recyclable materials).
