The Clyde TD-Pump is a large-capacity, dense-phase pneumatic conveying system designed to transport fluidisable powders over long distances at high throughput rates.
Developed specifically for applications such as fly ash handling and other fine powders, the TD-Pump provides efficient single-stage conveying over distances of up to 1,600 m while maintaining low conveying velocity and high phase density.
The system utilises a fully fluidised base section combined with an air-blend discharge spool, ensuring smooth, consistent material discharge throughout the conveying cycle. This design allows the TD-Pump to deliver stable pipeline loading and highly reliable conveying performance in demanding industrial environments.
The TD-Pump incorporates the original Clyde Dome Valve, enabling the system to reliably isolate and discharge material even when cutting through moving or static columns of bulk solids.
Key Features
- Large capacity pumping system: Vessel sizes from 2.5 m³ to 23.5 m³, enabling high throughput conveying.
- Fluidised vessel base: Ensures smooth and consistent discharge of fluidisable powders.
- Air blend discharge spool: Maintains stable pipeline loading conditions.
- Single or multi-outlet configuration: Multiple pumps can feed a single conveying pipeline.
- Heavy-duty pneumatic valves: Utilise proven Clyde Dome Valve technology for reliable isolation.
Key Benefits
- Long-distance conveying: Single-stage transport eliminates the need for costly intermediate transfer stations.
- Extremely reliable: Proven components designed for continuous industrial operation.
- Highly energy efficient: High phase densities reduce compressed air consumption.
- Robust actuation: Dome Valve technology reliably cuts through static or moving material columns.

System Flexibility
The TD-Pump can be configured with multiple pumps operating onto a single conveying pipeline using Clyde's Dome Switch Valve technology, allowing large conveying systems to operate with high reliability and maximum throughput.
This modular design enables the TD-Pump to scale to large industrial plants that require continuous, high-capacity bulk solids transport.
