From pebble lime to peanuts, from coal to baby powder - and everything in between – pneumatic conveying has long been a popular choice for moving bulk materials, either from storage facilities to a process unit, or between process units. Two most distinct categories of pneumatic conveying can be described as either dilute-phase or dense-phase systems. These have been developed over the past few decades to take advantage of the different behavioural properties of bulk materials and also to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of industry in the areas of system reliability, product quality control and energy efficiency. Pneumatic conveying systems are basically quite simple and are eminently suitable for the transport of powder and granular materials in factory, site and plant situations. The system requirements are a source of compressed gas, usually air, a feed device, a conveying pipeline and a receiver to disengage the conveyed product and carrier gas. With suitable choice and arrangement of equipment, materials can be conveyed from hopper or silo in one location to another location some distance away. Considerable flexibility in both plant layout and operation are possible, such that multi-point feeding can be made into a common line, and a single line can be discharged into a number of receiving hoppers. Flow rates can be controlled easily and monitored to continuously check input and output, and most system can be arranged for completely automatic operation.

Cleaning of panel filters installed in Air Handling Units & Return air grill have always been a time consuming, cumbersome, messy and manpower intensive process. Further uncontrolled manual cleaning is unreliable and cannot be validated. Further uncontrolled manual cleaning also reduces filter life. Whirlwind filter cleaning stations are designed to clean filters in a closed chamber with controlled compressed air water.

Conventional floor sweeping of powders with sweeps results in dust clouds, this creates health hazard to workers, reduces the life of expensive machinery, leads to malfunctioning of instruments and deteriorates the quality of the finished products. Therefore a need has been felt for an effective floor cleaning system to help create a dust free manufacturing area as a part of Good Manufacturing Practice. Keeping this in mind, we have developed a series of Centralized Vacuum Cleaning Systems, to suit various industrial applications. The system consists of a high efficiency, automatic dust filter unit followed by a multistage centrifugal/twin lobe vacuum exhauster, generally located remote suiting plant layout. Rigid pipe vacuum legs with necessary suction drops are run (either overhead/underground) inside the manufacturing area. Each of the suction drops is provided with auto-shut suction terminals. Flexible rubber hose with coupler and set of cleaning attachments are provided to enable to clean an area of 50 sq.mts. per suction Terminal. As the terminals shut automatically, the system very effectively cleans large areas utilising small quantities of suction air at low installed power. The system capacity is generally designated by total no of suction terminal that needs to be simultaneously operated at a time rather than the no of points installed. The collected dust can be transported by our dense phase pneumatic conveying system to storage silo / disposal yard. ADVANTAGES OVER PORTABLE VACUUM CLEANING UNITS Heavy-duty system most suitable for continuous industrial usage. Can handle large quantity of dust per suction terminal. Many dust disposal options. Less maintenance of filters due to automatic cleaning type filter units. Very convenient as the total equipment need not be moved throughout the plant. Few moving parts result in lesser spare requirement. Lower sound level inside the department. Portable vacuum cleaning units have the disadvantage of sub-micron size Particle re-circulation in the department. However this is eliminated in centralised system as the cleaned air is vented outside the plant. PLANT UTILITIES REQUIRED 2 M3/Hr FAD @ 5-7 Kg/cm2 compressed air required for filter regeneration. Vacuum Exhauster Power 415 V/AC. Control power for Filter Cleaning 100 watts 230 V/AC.
