Dense Phase Conveying System: Complete Guide to Material Handling, Benefits & Applications

Handling materials efficiently and without dust in the modern industrial setting is critical for productivity and safety. The Dense Phase Conveying System is one of the most developed solutions for handling basic materials across industries with the least amount of damage and the most efficiency. At Margo Industries we provide high-performing solutions for your conveying needs.

What is a Dense Phase Conveying System?

The way in which bulk materials are conveyed through a pneumatic conveying system at low velocities and high pressure is referred to as dense-phase conveying. In contrast to dilute-phase conveying systems, dense-phase systems are able to convey bulk materials through a controlled flow of material with minimal wear and tear on equipment.

Dense-phase bulk material handling is the optimal method for transporting fragile, abrasive, or very heavy bulk materials, as additional attention must be paid to the manner in which bulk materials are conveyed and how those materials are treated during transport.

How Does Dense Phase Material Handling Work?

Heavy bulk material can be transported using pneumatic Dense Phase Material Handling. Pneumatic dense phase transport consists of moving materials in a pneumatic manner through pneumatic tube line networks with the help of a supply of air, pressure vessels, compressors, and control valves. This method allows for the transportation of bulk materials slowly and with less velocity, because all of the motion is supplied by pneumatic pressure in a plug-style fashion throughout a transport system using tubes.

There are six major components required for the operation of a pneumatic dense phase transport system: an air source; a pressure vessel; a compressor; a tube line network that connects different locations; control valves; and a control panel/automated system.

Precision control of the bulk material transfer operations can be accomplished with the use of a pneumatic dense-phase transport system.

Benefits of Dense Phase Conveying System

1) Minimal Material Damage: The fragile materials’ conveyance via a Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying at low velocities will not damage them as they are being conveyed.2) Dust Free Environment: Due to its closed-loop design, the system will perform flawlessly in a clean environment.

3) Lower Pipeline Erosion: While every material-handling operation will erode the pipeline to some degree, there is significantly less erosion than in any other material handling method.

4) Economic Energy Utilization: The Dense Phase Conveyor operates at high pressures, but because of their superior flow control system, they are more efficient than other material handling methods.

5) Minimal Maintenance Costs: The Dense Phase system will require very little maintenance, because of the limited wear and tear on the equipment, thus extending the life of the system.
