Dilute phase pneumatic conveying is a method of moving non-abrasive, non-fragile materials that have a low bulk density. This system incorporates high gas volume at low pressure, entraining the materials in the gas flow and conveys one of two ways: pressure or vacuum. In pressure conveying a high volume of low-pressure air transfers material at a high velocity. In vacuum conveying a high volume of negative-pressure air transfers material at a high speed. Common materials suitable for dilute phase pneumatic conveying are flours, resins and compounds, specialty chemicals, and others.
