Sensors for Pneumatic Conveying Equipment

According to the characteristics of different pneumatic conveying equipment and materials to be conveyed, pressure sensor types for our UPB2 model should be chose reasonably. 

For the suction type pneumatic conveying equipment, the main feature of the suction type pneumatic conveyor is to draw air from the entire pipeline system through the blower, so that the air pressure in the pipeline is lower than the atmospheric pressure, forming a certain negative pressure. It is suitable to use a negative pressure sensor to control the air thinness in the system.

For the blowing type pneumatic conveying equipment, different from the suction type pneumatic conveyor, the air pressure in the pipeline of the pressure feeding type conveyor is higher than the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the pressure sensor in the form of gauge pressure is suitable for this type of conveyor.

For the combined suction, blow and pressure pneumatic conveying equipment, the advantages of both must be combined: the suction type pneumatic conveyor is convenient for feeding, and the pressure feed type pneumatic conveyor is suitable for long-distance transportation. Select a reasonable pressure (negative pressure or positive pressure) according to the characteristics of the conveyed material to give full play to the advantages of both.

In addition, for the transmission of solid dust, our UPB7 series pressure transmitters in the form of solid flat membranes are generally used.
