CMH’s Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying technology is suitable for transporting difficult, abrasive and/or friable materials, and conveying material along a pipe in plug form at very low velocities. This results in minimal wear on pipes and bends, promoting minimum maintenance and long life. Efficient use of compressed air also gives low power consumption and running costs.
CMH’s range of Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying systems have been designed to provide a simple and effective method of transferring material from a single collection point to either single or multiple reception points, and can be used throughout the iron & steelmaking industries to transfer almost all types of bulk solid materials. Systems are available for materials at temperatures up to 450°C, rates of over 300 tonnes/hour, and for distances up to 1.5 miles, all in a single pipeline.
