Pneumatic Conveying EDUCATIONAL WEBINARS Dust Collection Explosion Prevention Sponsored by Register today. powderbulk.com/webinars Air-activated gravity conveyors — The forgotten stepchild FREE Presenter: Jack Hilbert October 13, 2020 12:00 PM (Noon) ET Blowers, feeders. pressure systems, vacuum systems, and dense phase — these are all terms very familiar to regular attendees of PBE's pneumatic conveying we- binars. While these are the most commonly used terms, it's important that we don't forget the less common technologies and equipment that's avail- able or that might be used in speci c industrial applications and, therefore, becomes "branded" as only being applicable for that speci c use. One such technology is the air-activated gravity conveyor, which is the most ener- gy-ef cient mode of conveying with respect to kilowatt-per-ton of material conveyed. That, alone, should be of interest to everyone. One of the reasons the technology may not be on the tip of everyone's tongue is that it has some limitations related to the material's physical properties and equipment layout. We see many speci c cases where those limitations aren't restrictions, yet the technology never gets considered as an alternative. This webinar will look at the theory of operation, limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of using an air-activated gravity conveyor. If you're already using one, you'll likely learn more about its design, operation, and troubleshooting techniques. Participants who aren't as familiar with this technology will now have another tool to select from their pneumatic conveying toolbox when there's an existing bottleneck or a new opportuni- ty to be considered.
