Troubleshooting Pneumatic Conveying Systems

  1. Blower Package:
  • Blowers provide the necessary volume of air and pressure for the system.
  • Check for consistent blower speed and pressure relief valve behavior.
  • Gauge fluctuations may indicate rotary valve wear or low velocity.
  1. Convey Line:
  • Elbows are wear points and can impact system performance.
  • Avoid excessive bends and monitor line pressure.
  • Feel the line to assess material flow.
  1. Rotary Valves / Airlocks:
  • These act as the “revolving door” of the system.
  • Inspect for proper pressure separation and functionality.
  1. Filter Receivers / Bin Vents:
  • Not dust collectors; they separate air and material.
  • Monitor filter differential pressure.
  • Ensure efficient bag cleaning cycles.
