Low-Pressure Pneumatic Conveying Equipment

ANDRITZ, via the Western Pneumatics acquisition, offers robust low-pressure pneumatic conveying solutions designed to move large volumes of material with minimal energy consumption.

These systems are ideal for wood products facilities where dust mitigation, spark detection, and process reliability are critical.

Low-Pressure Cyclones

Key Features of a Low-Pressure System

Fans built for tough environments, engineered to reliably move air whether handling clean air streams or heavy dust loads
High-efficiency cyclones that efficiently separate dust and chips or cyclone/filter combinations that separate dust and chips before they reach downstream filters, extending filter life and reducing maintenance
Precision feeders and rotary airlocks that meter material smoothly while maintaining airtight seals, preventing leaks and energy loss
Baghouses that capture even the finest dust, ensuring cleaner air, safer working conditions, and compliance with emissions standards
Integrated spark detection and abort gate systems that protect your facility from fire and explosion risks
Flexible dampers and expansion joints designed to protect ductwork and equipment from stress, vibration, and thermal expansion
System designs with full extraction or filter bypass options, keeping your plant online even during maintenance or upset conditions
