PROBLEMS WITH PNEUMATIC PUSHER CONVEYORS

Pneumatic pusher systems are noisy systems made up of rigid pipes. Adding bends
in a conveyor must be calculated in advance and any modifications at a later date are expensive.

Another problem caused by a pusher conveyor is sanitisation: being rigid lines, sanitising operations are very complicated. On the other hand, this is not the case with the sanitisation of the pipes used for pneumatic conveyors, which is simple and fast. 

Mechanically speaking, the pneumatic pusher conveyor is very simple and does not require maintenance. However, the risk of damage is high, so it is not suitable for fragile products to be preserved. 

One of the things to consider when choosing between a pusher conveyor and a pneumatic conveyor is also the price: pneumatic pusher conveyors are expensive systems. On the other hand, the price range of pneumatic conveyors is intermediate, compensated for by the great advantages they offer.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYOR: THE SOLUTION

Pneumatic conveyor systems make the process more efficient, safer and more hygienic:

  • They require little space thanks to the use of flexible hoses and can be implemented later thanks to their modularity.
  • They prevent product dispersion and contamination, and some models prevent demixing.
  • Maintenance is minimal and extremely fast and easy to perform because they are systems with few moving mechanical parts subject to wear. Only pure, non-lubricated compressed air is used, which helps maintain optimum transport efficiency.
  • Improved hygiene and safety in departments
  • Fast and simple installation and connection to other processing machines.
