Hatch releases pneumatic conveying system design software Hatch, a design consulting firm based in Mississauga, ON, has launched an all-in-one software called PneuCalc 7.0 that enables engineers and practitioners to design and troubleshoot pressure and vacuum pneumatic conveying systems. The software helps deter- mine how the system parameters influence the behavior of powder and bulk materials during pneu- matic conveying so designers can overcome common challenges such as system blockages, irregu- lar feedrates, and equipment wear. The software assists in calculat- ing and displaying dilute-phase, dense-phase, or mixed modes of pneumatic conveying. Additionally, the software includes material saltation velocity calculator tools, automatic Geldart display material group classification, and a detailed pipe segment display. An automatic parameter verifica- tion for sloping, conveying lines, acceleration zone length, minimum and maximum speed, refluxing in vertical sections, and maximum pressure settings are also part of this software package. The software is designed to allow the user to cus- tomize, reuse, and share material and gas property databases as well as export data for reporting, specifi- cations, equipment datasheets, and more.
