The conveying speed and efficiency of Vacuum Conveyor are significantly affected by material characteristics, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First of all, the type and nature of the material directly determines the conveying capacity of the conveyor. For example, for materials with poor fluidity, such as moisture absorption, strong adhesion, static electricity or water-containing materials, the conveying process will be relatively difficult, thus affecting the speed and efficiency of the conveyor. In order to deal with these materials, it may be necessary to add some auxiliary functions of the equipment, such as vibrators, fluidizers, backflush devices, etc., to assist in discharging materials, thereby improving conveying efficiency.
Secondly, the size of material particles is also an important influencing factor. For fine materials, special filters need to be used to ensure that the materials will not block the pipes or filters, thereby maintaining smooth transportation. However, the smaller the filter pore size, the more difficult it is to transport the material, which will also affect the speed and efficiency of the conveyor.
In addition, the density of the material will also affect the conveying capacity of the conveyor. Since vacuum conveying is a volumetric conveying equipment, the greater the specific gravity of the material, the more material is contained in the unit volume, so the conveying capacity is also increased accordingly. On the contrary, the smaller the specific gravity of the material, the lower the conveying capacity.
In addition, the feeding position and conveying environment of materials will also have an impact on the speed and efficiency of the conveyor. A reasonable feeding position can ensure that the material enters the conveying pipe smoothly, while a suitable conveying environment (such as temperature, humidity, etc.) can reduce changes in the material during the conveying process, such as agglomeration, adhesion, etc., thus improving conveying efficiency.
Finally, the chemical nature of the material is also a factor to consider. For example, for corrosive materials, it is necessary to choose corrosion-resistant equipment materials, such as 316 stainless steel or Teflon coating, to extend the service life of the equipment and reduce the failure rate.
To sum up, the conveying speed and efficiency of Vacuum Conveyor are affected by material characteristics in many aspects. In practical applications, it is necessary to select appropriate equipment models and parameters according to the properties of the materials, and take corresponding measures to optimize the conveying process to improve conveying efficiency and reduce operating costs.
