Advantages of Mechanical Conveying

Mechanical conveying systems have been part of manufacturing and production for decades, and offer several advantages over pneumatic conveying systems:

• Mechanical conveying systems are more energy efficient than pneumatic systems and typically require as much as 10 times less horsepower.
• Smaller dust collection systems are sufficient since mechanical conveying does not need to separate material from an air stream.
• Increased fire and explosion safety for combustible bulk solids over pneumatic conveyors.
• Well-suited for transporting dense, heavy, granular and sticky materials which cause pipeline blockages.
• Cost effective—less expensive to design and install
