38 / March 2021 powderbulk.com Feeder-airlock handles dry materials in pneumatic conveying systems V-500 feeder-airlock handles dry, fine powder or granular material in dense- or dilute-phase pneumatic conveying systems that run at high pressure differentials up to 29 psig in applications where previously only a pressure tank system could be used. Feeder offers simplified maintenance with a direct-coupled drive, eliminating sprockets and chains, and there- fore pinch points to reduce safety risks. Feeder is available in standard iron construction or models that offer abrasion- and corrosion-resistance. FLSmidth, Bethlehem, PA 610-264-6011 www.flsmidth.com 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 for applications requiring high product quality, with space restrictions, and where down- time for elbow maintenance or replacement cannot be tolerated. 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. HammerTek, Bethlehem, PA 610-814-2273 www.hammertek.com Low-pressure dense-phase conveying system handles fragile materials E-finity low-pressure continuous dense-phase conveying system for fragile materials gently induces material through the conveying line in slug form. System is suitable for granules and pellets and for materials such as pet foods, cereals, nuts, grains, prills, and pelleted material. System has pre- cise pressure monitoring and airflow corrections to ensure efficient oper- ation under all conditions. System can use a single air source to operate two to three separate systems simultaneously, saving costs in equipment, installation, operation, and maintenance. Schenck Process, Kansas City, MO 800-821-2476 www.schenckprocess.com/us Diverter valve for pneumatic conveying system provides positive seal to prevent leakage Series D diverter valve for vacuum and dilute-phase pressure pneumatic conveying systems handles powders, granules, and pellets. Valve provides a positive seal to prevent material leakage and features a lightweight design. Valve is available as a 2-, 3-, or 4-way diverter and can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Valve's double-acting, internal magnetic, cushioned air cylinders and choice of solenoids allow for custom configu- rations. Valve is temperature-rated for up to 180°F.
