Vacuum Conveying System

The Vacuum Conveying System conveys fly ash in an air stream at negative
pressures and is suitable for a comparatively short conveying distance. This system
is extensively used for its simplicity and economic efficiency.

Handling System
Fly ash in each hopper is conveyed through a pipe by a vacuum blower, caught by a
filter separator on the top of a silo and deposits in a fly ash silo.
The ash stored in the silo is moistened by a dustless unloader and conveyed to an
ash disposal site by truck or conveyor. The ash can also be conveyed as dry for
efficient utilization.
Pneumatic Conveying System
The pneumatic conveying system conveys fly ash in an air stream at positive
pressures and is suitable for a large capacity conveying for a long distance.
This system is also suitable when fly ash is distributed to multiple storage places.

Handling System
Fly ash in each hopper goes through a pneumatic conveyor and is fed into a
pressurized stream produced by a pneumatic blower and blown into a fly ash silo
directly for storage.
An exhaust bag filter is installed on the fly ash silo to purity air for the pneumatic
conveying system.
After storage in the silo, fly ash is conveyed like the vacuum conveying system.
Vacuum-Pneumatic Conveying
System
Fly ash is collected at an intermediate silo first and conveyed pneumatically to a silo
placed apart. This system is employed for long distance conveying to the storage silo.
This is a system taking advantage of both the features of the vacuum conveying and
pneumatic conveying and suitable for distributing fly ash to multiple storage places.

Handling System
This is a system combining the Vacuum Conveying System and the Pneumatic
Conveying System and fly ash in each hopper is conveyed through a pipe by the
Vacuum Conveying System, caught by a filter separator and temporarily stored in an
intermediate silo.
The fly ash from the intermediate silo is blown into a silo placed apart by the
Pneumatic Conveying System and stored.
Dense Ash Conveying System
The Dense Ash Conveying System is a pneumatic pressure system conveying dense
ash at a low velocity.
This system consumes less energy due to its smaller amount of conveying air, for
the bore of an ash conveying pipe can be made smaller.
This is suitable for conveying a large volume and the corrosion of ash pipes is
reduced due to its low velocity conveying.

Handling System
Fly ash is fed into an ash conveying pipe through dense ash conveying (DAC)
feeders and conveyed to a fly ash silo at a low velocity in a pneumatic air stream by
a compressor. After storing in the silo, the fly ash is conveyed like the vacuum
conveying system.
