Pneumatic transport

Pneumatic conveying works with compressed air, which creates a vacuum in order to suck in air and powdered product. The product is transferred in a pipe from container A to container B.
The suction time is managed by a device called a “pneutimer”.
Pneumatic conveying is usually integrated into big bag emptying stations and hoppers.
