Pneumatic conveying is a way to transport bulk materials or powders from one point to another using compressed air and a close pipeline. This method is efficient and reliable for promptly moving different substances, granules, powders, and other fluidizable materials, making it a kind of technology that is used in every stage of production.

The two most common forms of pneumatic conveying include pressing conveying and vacuum conveying. Pressure conveyors involve the usage of overpressure to propel powders, granules, or pellets through an air or gas stream. Conversely, vacuum conveyors draw in air or gas using underpressure to move materials.

Choosing the most effective means of pneumatic conveying requires consideration of various factors: particle size, shape, density, hardness, fat and moisture content, transport distance, and energy efficiency. Hosokawa’s advanced pneumatic conveying solutions consider these factors to provide technology suitable for the precise needs of many different sectors, including the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, mineral, and metal industries.
