A Dense Phase system conveys free flowing bulk materials using less energy, with lower material velocities, and minimal moving parts throughout the system; making it the most cost effective solution for conveying free flowing bulk materials.

Dense Phase conveying uses high pressure compressed gas (typically greater than 1.5bar), to convey material through a pressurized pipeline at a low velocity (less than 200 Mtrs./Min.).  In a Dense Phase system the material is conveyed below its minimum pick up velocity in the form of a fluid plug.  The material being conveyed as a fluid plug creates enough resistance to allow pressure to build.  The sizing of both the pressure vessel and convey pipeline is critical in achieving optimal dense phase conveying performance.

Principles of Dense Phase Conveying

• Low Velocity                 (Terminal Air Velocity < 300 Mtr / Min.)
• Low Air Volume             (Appox. 25 Cu. Ft. of air to convey 1 Cu. Ft. of Material)
• High Pressure               (Normal Operating Pressure > 1.5bar)

Conveying Capacity: 100TPH Maximum

Conveying Distance: 400mtrs Maximum
