Need to supply a production or mixing area in a building,
from a storage area in a remote location?
TIM uses pneumatic transfer when transferring plastic pellets
over distances of up to 100m.
Pneumatic transfer operation
Vacuum transfer
Pneumatic vacuum transfer operates in cycles:
- Suction phase (cyclone filling)
- Emptying phase (when the cyclone is full, suction is cut off and it empties into the hopper)
Vacuum transfer keeps the hopper full.
Equipment
- A suction unit equipped with an automatically declogging filter box
- A cyclone for material reception, vacuum piping and material transfer
- A suction cane
Pressure transfer
As the transfer cycle is continuous, large volumes can be filled quickly.
Equipment
- A booster
- A pressurized turbine
- A fan or other
- A rotary feeder or injector to feed the transfer line with material
- A transfer pipe
- A cyclone of reception and decompression
The virtues of pneumatic transfer
Pneumatic transfer is recommended over the flexible screw:
- When the material is easily transported by suction and the layout is more suitable
- When the conveyed material needs to be conveyed and distributed to several points. This makes it possible to set up a centralized feeder
- When materials come from many different sources, simultaneously or not, for reasons of cost.
Dust recovery
The suction units are equipped with
self-cleaning filter boxes.
Transfer protection
Material intake probes equipped with filters prevent contamination
Long distances and high elevations
Up to 100 meters away depending on location
Up to 15 m elevation in discharge (overpressure)
No creation of electrostatic charges
Electrical continuity is present along the entire length of the transfer, allowing static electricity to be dissipated.
