Pneumatic Conveying & Material Handling Systems
Efficient, Dust-Free Transfer of Bulk Materials
Overview
Indus Pneumatic Conveying Systems provide efficient, closed-loop transfer of powders, granules, and bulk materials over short or long distances. Designed for industries requiring hygienic, dust-free, and automated material handling, these systems integrate seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment. We also offer a comprehensive range of mechanical conveying accessories—including screw feeders, belt conveyors, roller conveyors, dust collection systems, and blowout elevators—customized to your specific plant layout and material characteristics.
Pneumatic Conveying Systems
How It Works
- Material Introduction – Product enters conveying line via rotary valve, venturi, or screw feeder.
- Airflow Generation – Positive pressure or vacuum system creates airflow to transport material.
- Pipeline Transport – Material moves through pipeline to destination (silos, hoppers, process equipment).
- Separation – Cyclone separator or filter receiver separates material from conveying air.
- Dust Collection – Fine particles are captured by dust collection system for clean operation.
Types of Pneumatic Conveying
| Type | Mode | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Dilute Phase | High velocity, low pressure | Free-flowing powders, granules over long distances |
| Dense Phase | Low velocity, high pressure | Fragile, abrasive, or cohesive materials |
| Vacuum Conveying | Suction-based | Multiple pick-up points, dust-free transfer |
| Positive Pressure | Push system | Single source to multiple destinations |
