March 2020 / 41 Pneumatic deflection elbow prevents material impact problems Smart Elbow deflection elbow is suitable for dilute- and dense-phase pneumatic conveying systems and is available in diameters from 1.5 to 18 inches in 45- and 90-degree configurations. Elbow is suitable for applica- tions requiring high product quality, with space restrictions, and where downtime related to elbow maintenance or replacement cannot be toler- ated. Elbow's spherical chamber protrudes partially beyond bend pathway, causing a ball of material suspended in air to rotate, gently deflecting incoming material without impacting the elbow's wall. Elbow is available in cast iron, carbon steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and special alloys. HammerTek, Bethlehem, PA 610-814-2273 www.hammertek.com Dense-phase conveying pressure vessel system delivered completely assembled Dense-phase pneumatic conveying pressure vessel system is suitable for premixed, high-bulk-density, highly abrasive, friable, or segregating materials. System uses high air pressure above 15 psig and low air volume to convey powder or granular bulk solid materials through a pipeline at low velocity. System can deliver high-capacity conveying rates over long distances in purged and non-purged (full-line) systems. System has no moving parts besides the inlet and vent valves for minimal wear. Vessel is available in stainless steel construction and comes completely assembled to reduce installation cost, requiring only a compressed-air source and electrical power. Coperion K-Tron Salina, Salina, KS 785-825-1611 www.coperion.com Dense-phase pneumatic conveyor features air-management system Dense-phase pneumatic conveying system features an air-management system that uses a pressure-control orifice and the supplier's proprietary bypass valve to control system airflow and the material-to-air ratio, pro- viding smooth material conveying. System can handle abrasive or fragile materials at lower speeds than other pneumatic conveying systems. Sys- tem doesn't require expensive, difficult-to-install boosters or trace air lines that require more air and increase conveying velocity.
