Aeromechanical conveyor-Delfin pneumatic conveyors

aeromechanical conveyor

Aeromechanical conveyors are used to carry various types of powders and granules. They consist of two or more specific bends joined by pipes and equipped with special crowns, within which a rope is twisted and pulled axially.

This type of conveyor can have considerable disadvantages:

 
  • Product damage
  • High cost and maintenance
  • Difficult sanitising operations

PROBLEMS WITH AEROMECHANICAL CONVEYORS

The aeromechanical conveying system is a system composed of rigid pipes. Adding bends in a conveyor must be calculated in advance and any modifications at a later date are expensive.

Another problem that an aeromechanical conveyor may cause is sanitisation: the disc system inside the pipes takes a long time to be disassembled and sanitised.
The nature of the aeromechanical system means that a lot of maintenance and work to carry it out is required.

One of the things to consider when choosing between an aeromechanical conveyor and a pneumatic conveyor is the risk of product damage: the mechanical action required for transport tends to wear and heat the product . On the contrary, with pneumatic conveyors, the material is conveyed in air, minimising contact with any surface and consequently the risk of damage.

The aeromechanical conveyor system is particularly expensive, while the price range of pneumatic conveyors is intermediate and compensated for by the great advantages they bring compared to the aeromechanical system.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYOR: THE SOLUTION

Pneumatic conveyor systems make the process more efficient, safer and more hygienic:

  • They require little space thanks to the use of flexible hoses and can be implemented later thanks to their modularity.
  • They prevent product dispersion and contamination, and some models prevent demixing.
  • Maintenance is minimal and extremely fast and easy to perform because they are systems with few moving mechanical parts subject to wear. Only pure, non-lubricated compressed air is used, which helps maintain optimum transport efficiency.
  • Improved hygiene and safety in departments
  • Fast and simple installation and connection to other processing machines.
