We are proud to share that Delta Ducon’s very own Matt DelPizzo, recently had the honor of presenting a technical poster at the 2026 IEEE-IAS/PCA Cement Conference in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The presentation focused on a critical issue facing many cement and heavy industrial facilities: mitigating extreme erosive wear during the pneumatic transport of petroleum coke. The Challenge: When Standard Solutions Fail The poster highlights a recent case study involving a major U.S. cemen

Subject: Date: October 2023 Author: Delta Ducon, LLC Abstract Handling high-density reclaim materials (pebble, dust, and regrind) presents unique challenges for industrial processing facilities. These materials are often characterized by high bulk densities (approx. 90 PCF) and abrasive properties that cause rapid wear on standard pneumatic components. Furthermore, the handling of fine reclaim dust creates significant housekeeping and environmental compliance issues. This

Focus: PERMA/flo Pipe & Fittings Goal: Establish Delta Ducon as the expert in piping longevity and demonstrate the technical superiority of your proprietary cast alloy over standard materials. The Pipe Failure Problem in Pneumatic Conveying In systems handling highly abrasive materials like cement, fly ash, or silica, pipe components—especially elbows and bends—are constantly subject to the wearing action of transported solids. Standard carbon steel or even stainless steel pi

Focus: XL/XT Series Rotary Valves (The specialized component the competition lacks) Goal: Educate engineers on why the P-33 Chrome-Iron Alloy is superior to standard surface-hardened valves for abrasive service. Introduction: When "Heavy Duty" Isn't Enough In pneumatic conveying, the rotary valve is the heart of the system, acting as both a feeder and an airlock. For materials like cement, fly ash, and minerals, standard "heavy duty" valves suffer from rapid internal wear, le
