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
