Air material handling

Pneumatic conveying systems use compressed air to transport powdered and granular materials through pipelines. The process involves placing materials in a designated chamber where compressed air is introduced, creating a pressure difference that moves the materials through the system. This method is effective for efficiently handling bulk materials in various industries.

Pneumatic conveying systems offer several advantages, including:

1. Flexibility: They can transport materials over long distances and through complex routing, allowing for versatile installation in various layouts.
2.   Reduced Contamination: The enclosed system minimizes exposure to the environment, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring product purity.
3.  Low Maintenance: With fewer moving parts compared to mechanical systems, pneumatic conveyors generally require less maintenance and have lower operational costs.
4.   Efficiency: They can handle a wide range of materials, including fine powders and bulk solids, with high efficiency and speed.
5. Space-Saving: Pneumatic systems often require less floor space than mechanical conveyors, making them suitable for facilities with limited space.
6.  Safety: The enclosed nature of pneumatic conveying reduces the risk of dust explosions and improves workplace safety.
7.  Automation: These systems can be easily integrated with automated processes, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
8.  Energy Efficiency: Modern pneumatic systems are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing operational costs.

These advantages make pneumatic conveying systems a popular choice in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and bulk material handling.

The transfer of powder materials with compressed air lines is used in the steel industry as an efficient and effective method for moving raw materials and by-products. These systems are especially used in steel production processes, such as conveying iron powders, coke and other additives.

Advantages of using compressed air transmission systems in the steel industry:

1. High efficiency: These systems can handle large amounts of material in a short time, which helps increase productivity.
2.  Pollution reduction: By using closed lines, the risk of material contamination is minimized and the quality of the final product is maintained.
3. Flexibility: Compressed air transmission systems can be easily installed in different environments and with various designs.
4.  Reduced maintenance costs: Due to fewer moving parts, these systems typically require less maintenance.
5. Safety: By reducing the risks of dust and explosion, these systems help improve safety in the workplace.
6.  Space saving: These systems usually occupy less space than mechanical systems.

Applications in the steel industry:

• Transfer of iron powder: For steel production, iron powder is used as one of the main raw materials.
•  Transfer of coke or carbon: coke is used as fuel and additive in blast furnaces.
•  Transfer of secondary materials: such as refractory sand and other minerals that are used in the steel production process.

The use of compressed air transmission systems in the steel industry helps to improve efficiency and reduce costs and is known as a modern and effective solution in this industry.
