Mobile Pneumatic Conveying System
Polimak Mobile Pneumatic Conveying Systems are designed for efficient, dust-free, and flexible transportation of dry bulk materials using air or gas. Installed on a mobile chassis, these systems are ideal for temporary or multi-location use in industries such as food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. By reducing contamination risks and labor requirements, the system offers a sustainable and safe solution for handling bulk solids with minimal environmental impact.
How the System Operates
1. System Setup
• The mobile system is transported and positioned near the bulk material source or discharge point.
• All hoses and components are connected and powered up for operation.
• Operators ensure that containers, hoppers, or storage vessels are connected properly to receive conveyed material.
2. Material Feeding and Conveying
• A blower or compressor generates airflow, creating a vacuum that draws material into the conveying pipeline.
• The dry bulk material is transported through the pipeline using a powerful airstream.
• The system enables material transport using either suction or pressure, depending on the application needs.
3. Material Discharge Process
• The conveyed bulk material is directed into a cyclone separator or directly into a storage vessel.
• A rotary valve at the discharge point ensures consistent and regulated material flow.
• The bulk material is dishcharged into the container (e.g., silo, hopper, or mixing tank) in a dust-free manner.
4. Dust Control and Clean Operation
• Dust generated during conveying is captured by an integrated dust collection unit.
• Collected particles can be reintroduced into the process, minimizing product loss.
• The enclosed system prevents dust emission, maintaining a safe and clean workspace.
5. Process Completion
• Once material transfer is complete, the system stops the airflow and seals the discharge point.
• The unit can then be relocated for the next operation or switched to standby mode.
• Minimal cleaning and maintenance allow for fast turnaround between applications.
Components of the System
Mobile Chassis
• A robust, transportable platform that supports all conveying components.
• Easily moved using forklifts, trailers, or tow arms.
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor applications and rapid setup.
Blower or Compressor
• Provides the air pressure or vacuum needed to convey materials through the system.
• Built for continuous operation and capable of handling different materials over varying distances.
Conveying Pipeline
• Air-tight piping system that transports bulk solids between source and destination.
• Configurable in length and layout for different site conditions.
• Manufactured from durable materials to withstand abrasive or corrosive products.
Rotary Valve
• Regulates the rate of bulk material discharge at the end of the conveying line.
• Ensures smooth and consistent flow into hoppers, silos, or processing machines.
• Prevents backflow and maintains pressure integrity in the system.
Cyclone Separator
• Used to separate conveyed material from the air stream before final discharge.
• Enhances efficiency and reduces product loss.
• Preferred in applications with fine or powdery materials.
Dust Collection System
• Captures airborne particles generated during conveying.
• Helps maintain regulatory compliance and protects operator health.
• Reduces cleanup time and promotes sustainability by recycling material.
