40 / March 2021 powderbulk.com System provides dry material transfer from bag- dump station via pneumatic vacuum Pneumatic vacuum transfer system for powders and other granulated materials includes a rip-and-tip bag-dump station and supplier's VS series conveyor. System's dump station handles materials with bulk densities from 3 to 400 lb/ft 3 , and the system's conveying capacity can range from 220 lb/h to 4 t/h where the conveying distances are in the range of 50 feet hor- izontally and 33 feet vertically with greater weights and distances possible. System offers all stainless steel material contact parts and is ATEX certified. Volkmann, Bristol, PA 609-265-0101 www.volkmannusa.com Elbow's ceramic tile encasing handles highly abrasive materials Flat Back elbow for use in pneumatic conveying system lines is useful for handling highly abrasive materials, including cement, fly ash, and aggre- gates, and for high-heat applications. Elbow features ½- to 1-inch-thick cast ceramic tiles encased on the elbow over the highest areas of wear or to any or all sides of the elbow. Elbow, whose life cycle can be up to 30 to 40 times that of a bare steel elbow, is fabricated from a standard bend, eliminating the need for transitions that cause turbulence and wear. Elbow can be fabricated in nearly any size or degree. Progressive Products, Pittsburg, KS 888-235-1732 www.progressiveproductsinc.com Pneumatic line magnet removes metal in pneumatic conveying lines Pneumatic line housing magnet removes ferrous and weakly magnetic stainless steel contaminants from dry, powder, and granular material streams in dilute-phase pneumatic conveying lines. Magnet features a series of 1-inch-diameter 52-55 megagauss-oersteds (MGOe) rare earth tubes on staggered centers, ensuring that all flowing material has repeated and intimate contact with the housing's magnets, promoting high metal capture, and protecting machinery from tramp metal damage. Industrial Magnetics, Boyne City, MI 231-582-3100 www.magnetics.com Company's engineers use test data to design, install pneumatic conveying systems Company's engineers design and install pneumatic conveying systems to suit your bulk solids handling application. Company's testing facility reliably replicates your field conditions, allowing engineers to determine readings based on the system's rate, air consumption, material flow, material degradation, and more, to provide full-scale production results. Company's engineers then analyze all test-run data to design a system precisely suited to your application. Nol-Tec Systems, Lino Lakes, MN 651-780-8600 www.nol-tec.com
