When it comes to
pneumatic conveying of
bulk granular materials,
our 16 conveying concepts
are state of the art!
With over 40 years of building
highly efficient dense phase and
dilute phase pneumatic conveying
systems, you can be assured that
Dynamic Air technology is the
latest and the best in the industry.
We have developed many firsts
in the industry, such as our dense
phase Full Line Concept® system,
which significantly reduces material
degradation and/or abrasion, lowers
maintenance and has tremendous
energy savings over conventional
pneumatic conveying systems.

Dynamic Air offers 16 different
pneumatic conveying concepts:
• Four different vacuum conveying
systems
• Twelve different pressure
conveying systems.
Each system has it own unique
set of operating characteristics for
pressure, conveying line velocity,
efficiency and performance. Because
each and every material to be
conveyed reacts differently under a
given set of operating conditions,
it is extremely critical to match the
system operating characteristics
to the material to be conveyed in
order to achieve the most desired
conveying performance and to
provide the best value to you, the
customer.
Our 16 different pneumatic
conveying concepts have the
ability to convey at almost any
conveying velocity desired to suit
a given material to be conveyed.
We can convey many materials
with conveying velocities as low
as 50 feet per minute (0.25 m/sec)
using our HDV 8000 dense phase
pneumatic conveying system and,
using our LDP 2000 dilute phase
pneumatic conveying system, we can
convey at velocities well over 7000
feet per minute (35 m/sec). Plus our
conveying capacities range from
just a few hundred pounds (100 kg)
of material per hour up to 400 tons
per hour and conveying distances
exceeding 5000 feet (1500 m) in
length.
When our DC-5 Air
Saver technology is
employed on lower
pressure systems
using less than
15 PSIG (1 barg),
in many applications
we can lower the
conveying line
velocity well
below the normal saltation velocity.
Depending on the material being
conveyed, we also can reduce energy
requirements and drastically improve
system performance and reliability.
In addition, our pneumatic
conveying systems become highly
efficient when they employ our
unique patented DC-5® Air Saver
technology and are unmatched for
performance and reliability. These
systems can handle even the most
difficult of materials, plus they
significantly reduce the energy
requirements and convey material at
much lower conveying line velocity
with higher conveying line densities
and reduced dynamic loading.
The Result:
Gentle handling of heavy abrasive and
non-abrasive materials that cannot
tolerate degradation. For many fragile
crystalline and granular materials there
is no finer material handling process.
Dynamic Air’s 16 different pneumatic
conveying concepts can offer a more
gentle treatment of system components
as well. Because of lower velocities,
system wear and related breakdowns
are minimized.
Dynamic Air pneumatic
conveying systems are:
•
Energy and labor efficient
•
More reliable, because of our
DC-5 Air Saver technology
•
Flexible to design in tight
plant environments
•
Easy to install with minimum
disruption to existing plant
production
•
Clean - because the system
totally contains the material
conveyed
•
Friendly to the environment
•
Equipped with fewer moving
parts
•
Lower in initial investment
costs
•
Lower in maintenance
Typical materials conveyed are:
alumina, aluminum oxide, baby formula, ball clay, barite, bauxite, bentonite,
borax, calcium carbonate, calcium chloride, carbon black, cement, roasted
coffee beans, green coffee beans, cullet, detergent, feldspar, fine coal, flour,
fluorspar, fly ash, foundry molding sand, glass batch, glass beads, ground meal,
gypsum, iron oxide, kaolin clay, kyanite, lime, litharge, magnesium, milk powder,
peanuts, PVC resin, quartz, roofing granules, salt, silica sand, soda ash, sodium
sulfate, steel chips, sulfur, sugar, talc, titanium dioxide and more.

Dynamic Air’s exclusive
DC-5® Air Saver technology
is the key to complete control
of your material through
the entire conveying line
One of the secrets of a successful
and highly efficient pneumatic
conveying system, whether it is a
high pressure dense phase system
or a low pressure dilute phase
system, is trying to achieve an
optimum pressure balance. Many
systems operate in what we call an
unstable and/or unbalanced pressure
condition. This means the conveying
system can be using either too
much compressed air or not enough
compressed air, both of which are
undesirable.
When excessive compressed air is
used to convey a given material,
the conveying velocity will be too
high and the result can be material
breakdown or excessive wear on
the system. Also, the system will
use excessive energy, and therefore
maintenance becomes higher and
reliability is reduced. When not
enough compressed air is used, the
convey rate may be too low and it’s
even possible that conveying line
plugging can occur.
8
It is also important to understand
that every system must constantly
fight friction, and that this friction
is usually not evenly distributed
throughout the conveying line.
For instance, tubing bends are
a major cause of friction in a
pneumatic conveying system and
they can easily be responsible
for more than 50% of the total
resistance of the pneumatic
conveying system. The straight
tubing in a system, however, has a
much lower level of friction than a
tubing bend.
Other friction factors which must be
considered are components such as
conveying line couplings, diverter
valves, elevation changes, etc. Also,
the shape, density and cohesiveness
of each material to be conveyed
create another variable which adds
to the total friction factor, thus
impeding the conveying process
even further.
Therefore, the frictional resistance
seen in the conveying line will vary
considerably from system to system
and throughout a given system,
depending upon the components used
plus the length of the conveying line
and the conveying velocity. These
varying and unbalanced frictional
forces in a pneumatic conveying
system, if not pressure balanced
properly, can cause unstable and
undesirable pressure and velocity
conditions, resulting in poor
performance and an unreliable and
inefficient conveying system.
The DC-5 Air Saver technology
is adaptable to almost any type of
Dynamic Air pneumatic conveying
system regardless of the conveying
pressure or vacuum. The DC-5 Air
Saver technology is one of the most
unique products ever developed by
Dynamic Air and is another first
in the field, making Dynamic Air
an innovator in the field of high
performance pneumatic conveying
systems.
In order to create the optimum
pressure balance in a pneumatic
conveying system and to counteract
the varying forces of friction, the
compressed air must be properly and
timely distributed for a smooth flow
of material through the conveying
line.
The pressure balance control must
also be precise and instantaneous.
If the pressure balance control reacts
too slowly or overcompensates,
the flow of material through the
conveying line will be disrupted and
the performance compromised.
Benefits of the DC-5 Air Saver technology
To effectively counterbalance all the
friction factors normally inherent in
a pneumatic conveying system,
Dynamic Air has developed the
DC-5 Air Saver technology which
accurately controls and pressure
balances the pneumatic conveying
system.
•
Decreased energy consumption
•
Improved system reliability
•
Ability to convey very fragile materials
•
Ability to convey highly abrasive materials
•
Ability to convey difficult or cohesive materials
•
Ability to convey heavy materials
The DC-5 Air Saver technology
achieves the proper pressure balance
because it automatically senses the
conveying system conditions and
reacts instantaneously and accurately
without overcompensation. Thus
material is conveyed through the
conveying line in a smooth controlled
manner and at the desired conveying
velocity, to optimize the conveying
process for higher performance and
reliability.
•
Ability to start and stop the conveying process with
a conveying line full of material
•
Reduced “dynamic loading” at pipe bends by controlling
the conveying velocity
•
Reduced dust handling requirements
•
Reduced material degradation

HDV 8000 Vacuum ConceptTM
DC-5 Air Saver
Pressure Balanced
Continuous Dense Phase Vacuum System
The HDV 8000 Vacuum Concept Conveying System
is a dense phase, low to medium velocity, high
pressure, continuous vacuum conveying system. It is
generally used to convey low to high density, friable,
and abrasive materials and/or other materials where
degradation or abrasion is a concern. Examples
include plastic pellets, breakfast cereal, granulated
sugar, salt, coffee beans, pinto beans, finished
detergent, pelletized carbon black and silica sand.

Typical conveying velocities are 50 to 800 feet per
minute (0.25 m to 4 m/sec) and vacuum conveying
pressures of up to 29 inches (737 mm) of mercury (hg).
The material is fed into the conveying line on
a continuous basis by vacuum. DC-5 Air Saver
technology is used to minimize and optimize the
pressure supply air which is supplied by a high
pressure vacuum pump. The system includes a
vacuum pickup nozzle, a vacuum conveying line,
DC-5 Air Saver controls, a vacuum filter receiver,
a secondary filter and a vacuum pump. For continuous
conveying applications, a gatelock hopper with an
inlet and outlet valve is installed at the discharge of
the vacuum receiver.
