Conveying systems are necessary for moving large and fine items for easy movement and processing. Mechanical conveying systems, in particular, are handy for moving items through a powder processing system.

Besides this convenience, here are more reasons to use mechanical conveying systems to move powders for processing. 

Fits in any layout

Powder conveying systems come with smaller dust collection systems that occupy a lot less space and are more efficient when it comes to dust collection. Much of its efficiency can be attributed to the fact that you don’t have to separate material from an airstream. This feature also gives you greater versatility while designing the powder conveying systems.

Overall, it’s possible to design systems that are highly efficient from a space standpoint, so they can be placed anywhere. This adds to the versatility of your design and the layout of your workspace. 

Saves money

One of the biggest advantages of using powder conveying systems is that they are highly energy-efficient as they are designed to complete the task with a lot less power. It is estimated that pneumatic systems require about ten times less horsepower than other traditional systems. 

Further, these systems cause a lot less to design and install and this makes them highly cost-effective. In fact, many small businesses and startups prefer this system as it doesn’t entail huge upfront investments. 

Higher safety

These powder conveying systems are safe to use as the chances of fire or explosion is extremely low. This safety feature makes these systems highly conducive for moving combustible bulk solids 

At the same time, the chances for pipeline blockages also go down greatly while transporting dense and heavy materials. As a result, these systems are most suited for transporting both granular and heavy items and work well for sticky materials as well.

Greater versatility

Another advantage of these systems is that you can customize these systems to meet your unique preferences.

To convey powders in bulk, you can choose from the following systems.

Screw conveyors

These systems can be installed both horizontally and at an inclined angle, thereby making it ideal for adding small amounts of powder or taking out bulk bags.

Vibrating conveyors

These conveyors score high on convenience and sanitation as they can be used for transporting dry, sensitive, and even wet products without the need for human assistance. Further, it works well for doing a whole range of functions such as cooling, heating, distribution, and more.

Differential motion conveyor

A differential motion conveyor is a system that is ideal for moving powders at a much slower pace, so as to reduce the chances of loss or damage. This can be most useful for a very fine powder that can fly around when transported at high speeds. 

Thus, these are some of the advantages of having a powder conveying system that is custom-designed to meet your requirements perfectly. Since they score high on performance and versatility, besides being cost-effective, more companies are choosing these systems today.
