The efficient and reliable movement of materials is a critical aspect of many industries, including the grain, plastics, pet food, chemical, mining, and concrete industries. Pneumatic conveying systems have become more and more popular in these sectors due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Still, they require high-quality pneumatic conveying parts to withstand the harsh conditions … Keep Reading
If you’ve worked with pneumatic conveyance systems, then you’re probably familiar with compression couplings. These couplings are designed to create a secure, leak-free connection between breaks in pneumatic tube or pipe. They work by using compression to create a strong, uniform, and reliable seal. Below, we’ll explore how compression couplings work and how to select … Keep Reading
Bends are a critical component to the success of any pneumatic conveying system. The right elbow can increase the efficiency and longevity of a system, while a mismatch can lead to blowouts and product contamination. Not limited to a single material, bends are typically made from metals such as aluminum, carbon steel, or stainless steel. … Keep Reading
In pneumatic conveying systems, weld elbows and pipe/tube elbows (aka sweep elbows) serve the same purpose. They both allow pipes or tubes to curve and be rerouted in order to avoid obstacles and obstructions. This function is also crucial to gradually changing the direction of the bulk solid particles being conveyed. However, these components aren’t the same … Keep Reading
Choosing the right type of connection for your pneumatic conveying system is crucially important. This article will cover the three most common types of pneumatic connections, including compression couplings, flanges, and Victaulic grooved ends. We’ll discuss the differences between them, as well as their pros and cons, and give insight on what to consider when … Keep Reading
Compression couplings are a type of pipe coupling that can be used to join plain end tubing, pipes, elbows, and other line components in a pneumatic conveying system. They are designed to fit a wide variety of pipe sizes and materials, including but not limited to carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and aluminum. How … Keep Reading
