Why use HDPE Pipe for Material Handling?
Because polyethylene is smoother than other piping materials, it is well known for its optimum flow rates which are critical in pneumatic conveying systems. A typical pneumatic pipe conveyor system transports materials in suspension by using a high velocity air stream generated by a blower system. The main uses for this kind of pipe conveyor system is mostly for the transport of materials such as grain, wood chips, resins, sugar, cement powder, feed, fertilizer, sand, salt and saw dust. A typical system used mostly for the transportation of bulk cement consists of a motorized pump and a source of compressed air for fluidizing the material. Thanks to the smooth inner surface of our pipe, the pressure loss in the piping system can be reduced by as much as 25% compared with metal piping. It can also mean smaller pipes and less powerful pump equipment lowering both your installation and operating costs. Due to its light weight, our material handling pipe is easy and less expensive to trans
