APPLICATION SHEET BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PNEUMATIC CONVEYING A properly designed air flow system to transport bulk material from one point to another is often the most practical and economical means. Pneumatic conveying systems usually require less plant space, can be easily automated, and can be readily installed. Hauck’s Turbo Blowers are one of the most mechanically efficient air movers for this type of application. In addition, the inlet suction pressure and/or outlet pressure are typically more constant for varying air flows which means that the Turbo Blower can provide more constant “pick-up” pressures. Materials may be conveyed with a blower system either by the direct method, where material passes directly through the blower, or by the indirect method, where the blower furnishes the flow of air for conveying but the material does not pass through the blower. Refuse exhaust systems for woodworking machines, polishers, and grinders generally use the direct system. Refer to figures 1, 2, and 3 for illustrations of these types of systems. Most pneumatic collection and conveying systems incorporate some type of hood or inlet device to properly pick up the material to be conveyed. Some state or local codes dictate the design criteria. In all cases the hood design should minimize turbulence, offer the lowest possible entrance losses and mechanically prevent the entrance from choking off and stopping the air flow. If the material enters the pressure side of the system, an air lock or a venturi device should be installed to prevent a blow ba
