TECHNICAL PAPER- Optimizing Pneumatic Conveying for Abrasive Reclaim Materials
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

Stop Wear and Tear: Why PERMA/flo Pipe & Fittings Offer Extreme Abrasion Resistance
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

Technical Deep Dive: The Extreme Advantage of PERMA/flo Rotary Valves
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
