Typical Specifications

Typical conveying capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on material density and conveying distance.

Power supply

Pneumatic conveying systems commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for compressors and control systems.

Working pressure

Units of this type commonly operate with working pressures between 2 and 6 bar.

Typical volume

Receiver volumes for mobile pneumatic conveying systems often range from 50 to 200 litres.

Material compatibility

Stainless steel construction, as seen on this unit, is standard for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications due to hygiene and corrosion resistance requirements.

Footprint

Mobile units are designed for flexibility, with a compact footprint typically allowing easy relocation within a facility.

Control system

Modern systems commonly feature PLC-based controls for automated operation, including dosing and transfer cycles.
