Advanced technology solutions

  • Pneumatic conveying

    Coperion offers technologies for dilute or dense phase conveying of bulk materials

    → Dilute phase pressure or dilute phase vacuum capabilities
    → Enhanced dilute phase conveying reduces power consumption, material degradation and system wear
    → Dense phase conveying minimizes material breakage and improves energy efficiency
    → Operate multiple systems from a single air source
    → Conveying over long distances via dilute phase solutions

  • Vacuum dense phase conveying

    Vacuum dense phase is the ideal conveying technology for light to medium weight materials, that are friable, abrasive or fluidizable. It is applicable for short to medium convey distances. It combines the flexibility and capital cost of a vacuum dilute phase system with minimized degradation of a dense phase system.

  • Enhanced Dilute Phase Conveying (EDIP)

    Enhanced Dilute Phase Conveying (EDIP) technology optimizes blower speed to minimize energy consumption while maintaining desired conveying velocities. This innovative approach results in significant energy savings and reduced wear on system components.

  • E-finity® Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying

    E-finity® Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying: Designed for fragile materials and allows for efficient and gentle material handling, making it particularly effective for granular and pelleted materials used in battery production.
