Optimizing Existing Pneumatic Conveying Systems

On Tuesday, Novmeber 9, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific, Jack D. Hilbert, consultant, Pneumatic Conveying Consultants LLC, will present “Optimizing Existing Pneumatic Conveying Systems” as part of Powder & Bulk Solids' DryPro webinar series.

Pneumatic conveying systems are found in a wide cross section of industries and applications and have been a proven means of moving dry bulk solids. As companies change their business model and product wheels to meet market demands, existing pneumatic conveying systems often need to be repurposed to meet those new needs. Changes can be necessary with respect to material properties, rates, distances, functionality, etc. There are several techniques that can be implemented to “optimize” the performance of existing pneumatic conveying systems to meet those new needs. 

This webinar will present several of those techniques and how they can be implemented into an existing system, as well as how implementing them into new system designs can give “future capabilities” to a new system without incurring major retrofit costs later on. Production planners, facility engineers, operations personnel, etc., will all benefit from the information to be presented.
