Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Smart, Dust-Free & Customised Powder Handling Solutions
At Orchid, we design and deliver Pneumatic Conveying Systems that ensure dust-free, safe, and efficient transfer of powders and bulk solids. Whether it’s fine pharmaceutical ingredients or large-volume food powders, our systems provide continuous material flow with minimal manual intervention.
Unlike conventional conveying methods, pneumatic systems use controlled streams of air to move material inside closed pipelines. This guarantees:
- Zero contamination
- Higher process efficiency
- Operator safety
- Easy integration with existing processes
We specialise in:
- Powder Transfer Systems
- Dilute Phase Vacuum Conveying Systems
- Dilute Phase Pressure Conveying Systems
Each solution is custom-engineered for performance, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Engineered Conveying Systems for Every Industry Need
Every industry has unique requirements — and every Orchid system is designed to meet those needs. Before recommending a system, we carefully evaluate:
- Material Characteristics → particle size, bulk density, abrasiveness, flowability
- Process Requirements → throughput rate, distance, routing, operating environment
- Integration Points → upstream (silo, bag dump, hopper) and downstream (reactor, blender, packer)
- Energy & Safety → dust-free design, ATEX/flammable compatibility if required
👉 This engineering-first approach ensures optimized performance, reduced downtime, and lower overall cost of ownership.

❓ FAQ – Pneumatic Conveying Systems
-
1. What are the main advantages of a pneumatic conveying system?
-
2. Which materials are suitable for pneumatic conveying?
👉 A wide range of materials including fine powders, lightweight granules, food ingredients, pharmaceutical powders, pigments, resins, additives, and biomass ash can be conveyed.
-
3. What is the difference between Dilute Phase Vacuum and Dilute Phase Pressure conveying?
- Vacuum Conveying → Uses negative pressure, best for flexible routing and easy material pick-up.
- Pressure Conveying → Uses positive pressure, ideal for long distances and high throughput rates.
-
4. Are these systems hygienic enough for food and pharma industries?
Yes, Orchid’s systems are designed with CIP/SIP options and stainless-steel construction, making them suitable for hygienic and regulatory-compliant operations.
-
5. What information do you need to design a pneumatic conveying system?
👉 Key details include:
- Material properties (SDS, particle size, bulk density)
- Required throughput (kg/hr or tph)
- Conveying distance & routing
- Pick-up & discharge points
- Integration with upstream/downstream processes
-
6. Are pneumatic conveying systems energy-efficient?
Yes, modern dilute phase systems are engineered for optimized air-to-material ratios, reducing energy consumption and wear & tear.
-
7. How much maintenance is required?
👉 Very little. Pneumatic conveying systems have few moving parts. Regular checks of filters, blowers, and air supply ensure smooth, low-maintenance operation.
