CONVEYOR SYSTEM
What is conveying system?
Types of conveyors
-Vibrating Conveyor System
-Flexible Conveyor System
-Belt conveyor system
-Pneumatic conveyor system
ADVANTAGES
Preventation of losess
Simple and well designed system
Low maintenance cost
Lengthy service life
Dust free
Minimum space requirement
Ease of operation by unskilled operation
DISADVANTAGES
Solid conveying capacity lower than that of mechanical system
Limited distance along which the product can be conveyed
Require very careful design of the conveyor circuit
Possible wear along circuit in case of dilute phase flow
CONCLUSION
The different parameters required to be considered of pneumatic conveying system are air velocity, pressure drop, gas solid flow, no of bends in the system, horizontal and vertical distance of the pipeline.
There is wide scope for experimentation of different configuration of the system which can be use for specific application.
Provides a wide scope for researchers
