What Are Pneumatic Conveying and How Are They Produced?
Pneumatic conveying is a method of moving bulk materials—such as powders, granules, or pellets—through a sealed pipeline using airflow generated by a vacuum pump or compressor. This clean, enclosed system is widely used in industries like food processing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. It offers efficient, dust-free transport while minimizing material loss and contamination.
The system uses either positive pressure (compressed air) or negative pressure (vacuum) to push or pull materials through the pipeline. Key components include an air supply unit, feeding device, conveying pipeline, separator (to separate material from air), and a control system. Depending on the setup, pneumatic conveying can operate over short or long distances and is ideal for environments requiring hygiene, speed, and efficiency.

Capable of handling up to 120 mbar differential pressure and equipped with anti-corrosion coatings, it performs reliably in corrosive environments. With a high inlet capacity of 110,000 m³/h, the MB Series provides powerful vacuum boosting for demanding processes such as molecular distillation and solvent recovery.
VLRC Series Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump
The VLRC Series Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump is engineered to withstand high exhaust back pressure in steam sterilization systems. Its two-stage compression minimizes heat and prevents cavitation, ensuring stable and durable operation even with fluctuating cooling water temperatures. Optimized for low-pressure efficiency, the VLRC delivers reliable continuous suction and integrates smoothly with Roots vacuum pumps to boost performance in demanding sterilization applications.
RB Series Roots Blower
The RB Series Roots Blower features a five-point bearing system that ensures balanced load during belt-driven operation. Dual oil tanks provide efficient cooling and lubrication, keeping operating temperatures low. Synchronous helical gears minimize torsional stress, delivering quiet, smooth, and reliable performance. With various sealing options—such as lip, mechanical, labyrinth, and gas-tight seals—the RB Series can provide completely oil-free outlet gas, ideal for sensitive applications.
