Choosing the right conveyor system for your industrial facility can be a tricky process. You have to consider factors such as what you will be transporting and what gear your facility can handle. One of the most useful and reliable forms of conveying that a facility can use is pneumatic conveying. If you’re shopping around for a conveyor system, consider the advantages of using pneumatic conveying in your facility because of how safe, clean, and efficient these machines are.
Less Maintenance
Some conveying systems come with a lot of moving parts, all of which often need maintenance to keep them working to their fullest potential. Luckily, pneumatic conveying systems feature fewer moving parts, which means they require less maintenance than other systems. They do need regular maintenance, but the maintenance is much easier when it comes to pneumatic systems.
Increased Safety
As mentioned before, many conveying systems contain a lot of moving parts. These moving parts present themselves as a danger to workers, which is why this equipment requires good training and maintenance procedures to ensure the employees and equipment can work safely. Thanks to the simplicity of the pneumatic conveying system, there are fewer moving parts and required maintenance procedures that put operators and other nearby workers at risk.
Improved Sanitation
One of the great things about pneumatic conveying systems is that it’s a hands-free process. Since the products being shipped are moving in an enclosed system of tubes, you lower the risk of contaminating them. Pneumatic systems can also be easily cleaned to retain a strong defense against contamination.
