The Clyde Denseveyor is designed to reliably transport coarse, granular and pelletised materials that are difficult to handle using conventional pneumatic conveying systems. Operating in low-velocity, dense-phase mode, the system provides stable plug flow and dependable conveying performance.
Originally developed for demanding industrial environments, the Denseveyor has proven capable of handling a wide range of challenging materials while maintaining high conveying efficiency, low material degradation and excellent system reliability.
Key Advantages
- Designed for coarse, non-fluidisable bulk materials
- Low velocity dense phase conveying
- Energy-efficient high phase density operation
- Proven Clyde Dome Valve isolation technology
- Density Stabilisers (air boosters) to maintain stable plug flow and prevent pipeline blockages
- Factory assembled and pre-wired to minimise site installation
Product Specifications:
- Conveying Mode: Dense Phase
- Vessel Size Range: 0.08 – 2.8 m³
- Conveying Capacity: 1 – 50 tph
- Conveying Distance: Up to 300 m
- Conveying Velocity: Low velocity
- Typical Installation: Single material collection point
Denseveyor systems operate at high phase density, making them among the most energy-efficient pneumatic conveying solutions available.
Density Stabilisers for Reliable Plug Conveying
Denseveyor systems are often designed with Density Stabilisers (air boosters) installed along the conveying pipeline. These controlled air injection points help stabilise the conveying process by regulating the length and behaviour of material plugs within the pipeline.
By carefully introducing small amounts of air at strategic points, Density Stabilisers:
- Maintain stable plug flow conditions
- Control critical plug length within the pipeline
- Reduce the risk of pipeline blockages
- Improve conveying reliability over longer distances
This ensures the Denseveyor can reliably convey coarse and irregular materials while maintaining stable system performance.
Typical Materials Handled
The Clyde Denseveyor is designed to convey coarser, non-fluidisable bulk materials that are difficult to handle using conventional pneumatic conveying technologies. Operating in low-velocity, dense-phase mode, the system transports materials gently while minimising degradation and pipeline wear.
