to move product in enclosed piping often using air (sometimes nitrogen) from one place to another
the speed of the equipment is changed to control more precisely the metering of product into the convey line or bin
facilitates material flow from a bin or silo using vibration (aka: bin activator)
provides the pneumatic “power” to move product in a convey line (vacuum or pressure)
acts as an “air lock” between its IN and OUT ports, impeding the flow of air through its vanes and pockets, while moving material in a continuous rotating motion (also known as a rotary feeder or valve). consists of a housing, a rotor and shaft assembly, two end plates, seals and bearings, a motor and drive assembly.
semi-truck that contains product that is conveyed by the truck’s pneumatic blower (PD TRUCK)

product added to the convey line in a measured or regulated amount
the amount of time it takes to make a batch of product
storage bin that fills with product to a certain desired weight (weight is typically measured by load cells)
a railroad car that contains product to be conveyed into silos
this equipment will reject oversized particles and will be sent back to the mill for reprocessing
