Leveraging Rentals For Pneumatic Conveying Applications

Pneumatic conveying applications are critical to many facilities – when you can’t move material you can’t make or sell your product. Because of a historical lack of availability of specialized rental blowers and compressors for pneumatic conveying, plants often ether accepted the production outage or rented a more readily available 2 stage oil-free rotary screw compressor designed for 90-150 PSIG plant air service that is very inefficient at the reduced pressures needed for pneumatic conveying. A few case studies are presented where facilities sustained their production by renting positive displacement blowers / single-stage oil-free rotary screw compressors specifically built for positive pressure or vacuum pneumatic conveying applications.
