Pneuconveyor – Powder Transfer System
A Powder Transfer System is an industrial system used to safely, cleanly, and efficiently move powders or bulk solids from one point to another inside a factory — without manual handling.
In companies like Ravi International / Pneuconveyor System & Engineers, this is one of the most important core technologies for pharma, chemical, food, and mineral plants.
🧪 What it does — in simple words
It transfers material such as:
-
Powders
-
Granules
-
Crystals
-
Pellets
From:
Bags / drums / big bags / silos
To:
Reactors, blenders, dryers (FBD, RVD, VTD, ANFD), hoppers, mixers, packing machines, etc.
All this is done inside closed pipelines — no spillage, no dust, no contamination.
⚙️ How it works
Instead of conveyors or manual lifting, the system uses air (or vacuum) to move powder through pipes:
1️⃣ Material Feeding
Powder is loaded into a feed hopper / bag emptying station / IBC
2️⃣ Conveying
Air pressure or vacuum pushes/pulls the powder through a pipeline
3️⃣ Separation
At destination, a receiver + filter separates powder from air
4️⃣ Discharge
Powder falls directly into the process equipment
🧭 Main Types of Powder Transfer Systems
| System Type | Best For | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum Conveying | Hygienic, gentle handling | Pharma, food |
| Pressure Conveying | Long distance, high capacity | Chemicals, minerals |
| Dense Phase Conveying | Fragile powders, minimal degradation | Fine chemicals |
| Dilute Phase Conveying | Fast transport, large volumes | Cement, ash |
| Mechanical Transfer | Short distance | Screw, bucket elevator |
