DEFINITION
Pneumatic conveying is the process of
conveying granular or powdered
materials by floating the materials in a
gas and then allowing it to flow to the
destination through a closed pipe.
 It is an effective means of handling and transferring various types of bulk granular and
powdered products with minimal loss and at lower cost than other systems.
 Uses simple small diameter pipeline to transfer material and have small moving parts.
 Easy dust control and ease of automation
 Have several pick up points and routes controlled with valves.
 Low maintenance and low man power cost.
 Types of Pneumatic Conveyor
Dilute Phase: This type of pneumatic conveyor
system is commonly used for non-fragile
materials. It utilizes high-velocity, low-pressure
streams of air that fluidize fine particles. The
material is pushed by a screw feeder directly
inside the conveying line by and then sent
through an air mover at high speeds. These
conveyors work best with powders that have a
low bulk density, and they can also effectively
convey materials that tend to pack under
pressure.
Dense Phase: This type of conveyor uses low
velocity and high pressure and is suitable for
products that are prone to breaking. The material is
first loaded into a pressure vessel, from where it’s
forced into the conveying line by high pressure and
moved to its destination. In this case, the product is
pulsed rather than fluidized, and it may sometimes
be moved along with the help of air injectors. These
conveyors move abrasives, heavy bulk density
products, and other fragile materials slower and
more gently than dilute phase pneumatic conveyors.
Semi-Dense Phase: The third type of
pneumatic conveyor is the semi-dense phase
pneumatic conveyor. It’s essentially a middle
point between the two other systems and thus
offers the qualities of both types. They have
an air mover and are pressurized, so they can
move bulk material at a slightly higher speed
while still protecting it. They’re good for
aeratable, abrasive materials such as fly ash
Semi-dense phase
and cement.

• formulation of powdered insufflations.
• Generally, light and bulky materials such as grains
can be transported easily.
• A pneumatic conveyor is used for handling
unpleasant and injurious (toxic) materials since it is a
closed system.
• Powders containing poisonous constituents can be
transported.
• Fine powders and pellets having a size up to 6.0
millimeters and bulk densities from 16 to 3000 kg per
meter cube can be handled by a pneumatic conveyor.
