Long-distance conveyance using a pneumatic system

摘要

We are often asked about the physical limits of pneumatic conveying systems. The idea of long-distance pneumatic conveyance over distances of several kilometres is regarded sceptically and there are hardly any systems in existence with conveying distances exceeding 2 km. Within the framework of a project including the pneumatic conveyance of coal dust over a distance of 30 km, Claudius Peters decided to install the world's longest test line for pneumatic conveyance, stretching 5.1km on the premises of the company's technical centre.
