Industry: Bulk Materials Handling

Description: Dense Phase Conveying

Scope:
A turnkey project to design, engineer, manufacture, install and commission a dense phase conveying system, consisting of a fully automated process whereby raw materials are pneumatically transported through pipes and delivered into cells without any human intervention. The raw matarial is hygroscopic and hghly abrasive requiring special design techniques.

The two main conveying systems were designed to manage capacities in excess of 60 tons per hour, whilst five other units ensure that each group of 24 cells is fed with 6.25 tons of alumina per hour.
