From the sheet above, it is easy to see that pneumatic conveying is in advantage when conveying materials of particles.
Technical characteristics:
Pneumatic conveying is of fluid pipe transportation with high efficiency, small occupied space, low cost and few harms. There is a scope of application involved with powder material conveying system including mine, coal, cereal, gravel, concrete and various industrious raw materials. There is no double that pneumatic conveying will play a more and more important role in the future conveying ways.
High efficiency: with same cost, the conveying capacity is more than other normal ways.
Reduced space: apply hermetic pipe that can add bend, vertical pipe and inclined pipe casually. Normal pipe diameter is also not long, thus the remaining space can be made of use.
Low cost: apply computer automation control and save much properties; few breakdown makes maintenance reduced significantly.
Few harms: due to the hermetic pipe, there is basically no harm to environment.
