Why Clyde?
Clyde Pneumatic Conveying are specialists in supplying true dense-phase pneumatic conveying and process injection technologies for the Energy and Process Industries.
Experience & Leading Systems
For over five decades, we have engineered low-velocity, high-efficiency bulk material handling systems that deliver superior reliability, reduced wear, and long-term operational performance.
Our competitive strength is built on five pillars that consistently differentiate us from alternative pneumatic conveying suppliers.
1. True Dense-Phase Conveying Expertise
We specialise exclusively in low-velocity, non-suspended dense-phase conveying systems.
Unlike dilute-phase or semi-dense systems, our technology:
- Minimises air consumption
- Reduces pipeline wear
- Lowers maintenance costs
- Handles highly abrasive and difficult materials
- Achieves conveying distances up to 1,800 metres
- Delivers capacities up to 300 tph
Our stepped conveying methodology ensures controlled velocities and optimised air-to-material ratios, maximising throughput while protecting pipelines and bends.
This is not adapted technology - it is our core discipline.
2. World-Renowned Dome Valve Technology
At the heart of every Clyde system is our globally proven Dome Valve with inflatable seal.
With over 100,000 installations worldwide, the valve offers:
- Exceptional wear resistance
- Airtight sealing under pressure
- Reliable operation with abrasive, hot or sticky materials
- Long operational life in demanding applications
This proprietary valve technology is a key reason our systems achieve superior availability and reduced lifecycle cost.
3. Advanced Process Injection Technologies
Beyond conveying, Clyde is a recognised specialist in the injection of powders and alternative fuels into pressurised industrial processes.
We have proven references in:
- Smelters
- Calciners
- Gasification systems (biomass and end-of-life plastics to fuels)
- Combustion and decarbonisation projects
Our injection systems are designed for:
- Stable feed into high-pressure environments
- Accurate mass flow control
- Consistent process performance
- Reliable operation under extreme thermal and pressure conditions
This process know-how allows us to support customers pursuing:
- CO₂ reduction strategies
- Alternative fuel substitution
- Waste-to-energy initiatives
- Circular economy applications
Few conveying companies possess this depth of process integration capability.
4. Extensive Global References
Clyde Pneumatic Conveying systems operate in over 60 countries worldwide.
Our installed base spans:
- Cement
- Power generation
- Metals and smelting
- Chemicals
- Waste-to-energy
- Gasification and renewable fuels
Our reference list is not simply extensive - it is diverse, technically demanding, and performance-proven.
5. Responsive Aftermarket & Air Pollution Control Expertise
We maintain a dedicated UK-based service team with more than 40 years of combined experience in:
- Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP)
- Industrial Fabric Filters
- Inspection, repair and refurbishment
- OEM spare parts supply
We do not rely solely on subcontractors. Our in-house capability ensures technical continuity and rapid response.
Our objective is simple: maximise system availability and protect customer investment.
The Clyde Difference
Clyde Pneumatic Conveying combines:
- Engineering depth
- Proprietary valve technology
- Process injection expertise
- Global references
- Agile project execution
- Committed to aftermarket support
We do not compete on the lowest capital cost. We compete on technical performance, durability and lifecycle value.
