Pneumatic conveying is an effective method of moving dry materials in the food industry and other consumable markets. However, traditional lengthy pipe runs present a challenge when it comes to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. A pipework system is designed to protect material being conveyed from any outside contaminants, such as foreign matter and insects, as it is a closed structure. However, this in turn makes it equally difficult to detect and protect against internal forms of impurities, such as build-up and bacterial growth.
A pneumatic conveying system can consist of piping components that vary in diameter and type. Ideally it is preferable to retain the same diameter across the length of a particular run. However, by increasing the diameter, you can control the velocity of material and clipped components transition to one another. Traditionally, these joins were susceptible to leakage or build-up of material.
Jacob UK supplies a modular pipe system of lengths and components that is manufactured as standard with a lipped end. When joined with the Jacob Quick connect pull ring and U seal, you create a dust tight and pressure rated connection. This simple yet effective pull ring system means that you can easily disassemble your conveying run for ease of cleaning and maintenance. There is no need to consider purchasing an expensive automated cleaning machine and the pull rings are easily fitted by one person. Routine housekeeping need no longer mean costly downtime as the connections are smooth and material build up is minimised. Furthermore, the system can easily be retrofitted which means you can adapt your existing pipe runs and save time and money.
