Product Guide & Technical Information

Dense Phase Conveyor System: PneuPump

Dense phase conveying — also referred to as dense conveyor, denseveyor, or dense flow conveying — is a pneumatic material transfer technology where powder, granule, and pellet materials are transported at low velocity and high concentration through a pipeline. Compared to conventional dilute phase pneumatic conveying, dense phase systems consume significantly less compressed air and minimize product degradation.

Mastron PneuPump is the most advanced application of dense phase conveyor technology. It is the preferred solution for transporting abrasive, fragile, and high-value materials without damage, in a dust-free and energy-efficient manner.

Pneumatic Pump (PneuPump): Energy Efficiency in Dense Phase Conveying

Pneumatic pumps are energy-efficient systems that realize dense phase conveying of powder and granular materials using compressed air. Ideal solution especially for long-distance transport, abrasive and fragile materials.

Dense Phase Conveying Technology

In traditional pneumatic conveying, material is transported in suspension in air (dilute phase). In dense phase conveying, material moves at low speed and high concentration. This method reduces energy consumption by 50-70%, minimizes material damage, and significantly reduces pipe wear.

Working Principle

Pneumatic Pump collects material in a pressurized tank. Tank pressure is increased with compressed air. Material is fed into the pipeline with controlled valve opening. Material moves like a piston at low speed (3-8 m/s). When it reaches the target point, the tank is refilled and the cycle starts again.

System Advantages

Energy consumption is 50-70% lower than conventional systems. Pipe wear is at minimum level. Integrity of fragile materials is preserved. Long-distance transport (1000 meters+) is possible. Can operate at high capacity (50 tons/hour+). Maintenance need is low.

Technical Features

Tank capacities vary between 50 liters and 1000 liters. Operating pressure is between 2 bar and 8 bar. Conveying distance can be between 50 meters and 1500 meters. Pipe diameters can be selected between 50 mm and 200 mm. Stainless steel, carbon steel, or special alloy tank options are available.

Application Areas

Used in cement and clinker transport in cement factories, grain and flour transfer in flour mills, plastic granule and powder chemical transport in chemical plants, mineral dust transportation in mining, and coal dust feeding in power plants.

Special Applications

Alumina ceramic lined pipelines are used for abrasive materials. Water-cooled valve systems are applied for high-temperature materials. ATEX-certified systems are preferred for materials with explosive properties.

Investment and Return

Initial investment cost is 15-25% higher than conventional systems. However, return on investment is achieved within 18-24 months with energy savings and low maintenance costs. Can provide trouble-free service for 15-20 years.
