Consider Contact To Oem's
Dear sijosan,
as the material must be very hygroscopic: Controlled athmosphere as per pneumatic transport is worth onsidering, but that system is power consuming and dust recollection complex. CAPEX vs. OPEX vs. operational requirements. Perhaps there's already pressurized air on site?
Screw conveyors might do the job if direction change can be achieved, do a layout and contact some OEM and talk to the representatives. You could also look for spiral conveyors.
Tube chains i consider difficult, especially with dust proofness requirements, but then: Ask some competent manufacturer for an opinion.
With NH3NO4 you might want to check back on that ATEX - classification, or do absolute correct operational requirements not to go into dust problems.

Dust Conveyor System
I need a dust conveyor system, that transports dust/powder
The conveying route is about 16m straight length, bends (+/-90°) and another 8m straight length.
Data:
Particle description: Dust/powder
Product: Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with Dolomite (fertilizer)
Particle size.: 10% < 125µm 50% < 270µm 100% < 615µm
Dust load:1000-1500 kg/h
Dust bulk density: 1000 kg/m
Relative humidity (normal operation): 10%
Critical humidity (with respect to product):+/- 25%
ATEX classification: Not hazardous
Product characteristics: Abrasive, bridging
Needed a: Low maintenance + Dust proof installation
What's is the best type conveying for this product?
or has someone experience with this kind of product?
- Tube chain
- Pneumatic
- Screws
- Others?
Thanks in advance! ■
