In general terms, this mode of transport consists of loading a powder product into a pipe and moving it through a certain amount of gas, which can be generated by a blower (which can work under pressure or vacuum) or by the pressure difference generated by a compressor.

The adaptability, modulability and efficiency of pneumatic conveying systems make it possible to transport high volumes of powder across lines extending several hundred metres, delivering material to a single arrival station or distributing the flow among multiple destinations.

The closed pipes of the pneumatic conveying system, together with the necessary dust collection devices that are placed on arrival, eliminate the dispersion of the product into the environment, helping to keep the workplace clean and safe for the benefit of the operators’ health.
