Solutions for your hard to convey materials

Dense phase conveying moves material in a slower but more concentrated manner, especially along the bottom of the pipeline. The dense phase system will be designed to move material in a strand, slug or fluidized mode depending on the nature of the material and the plant configuration. The dense phase conveying method is typically capable of higher conveying rates and longer conveying distances.

Benefits & Features

Low energy consumption
Minimizes wear and abrasion
Reduces degradation
Capable of high conveying rates and long distances
Controls - Our experienced electrical engineers and programmers have the knowledge to match any customer’s control needs. A variety of control PLC and communication options are available.
Customization – Each system is proposed to exactly match the intended application.
Cleanability – In both the pressure vessel and continuous high pressure rotary valve dense phase configurations, the vessel and the convey line can easily be purged of material. Provisions are available for inspection/cleanout of the system components. Sanitary versions of both types of dense phase systems are also available, utilizing tri-clover type clamps wherever feasible.
Quiet – Dense phase systems operate at noise levels well below 83 dBa.
Durable & Reliable – Coperion dense phase systems purposely have additional safety factors built in to ensure high performance and reduce maintenance, while providing a long life cycle.

Areas of Application

Dense phase conveying is ideal for materials that are abrasive, friable, tend to segregate, temperature sensitive, premixed materials or materials with high bulk densities. Dense phase conveying is optimal for fine bulk solids such as powders or for larger particles like coarse granulate, pellets, coffee beans, pet food, and even wet lump coal.
