Why Pneumatic Conveying?
A standardized mechanical conveying device operates in a straight line with minor directional adjustments, usually requiring its own motor and drive for each directional shift. It often has a fairly significant number of moving pieces, usually involving regular maintenance. Often, the machine appears to take up much precious real estate in a plant. Pneumatic conveying system, on the other side, uses a basic pipeline with a small diameter to move material. The pneumatic conveyor system is totally enclosed and has few moving parts as it is electronically managed. It is completely dust free and is easier to maintain.
One of the most important factors to consider is the properties of the material to be conveyed, including bulk density, flow properties, temperature, moisture content, inherent hazards and allowable degree of degradation. Both pneumatic and mechanical conveyors will handle a wide range of products, from fine powders to large particles. Both types are often designed to move materials that are friable or fragile, also temperature-sensitive materials.
Food production is one of the largest, most varied and important industries in the world. Pneumatic conveying equipment and experience-based engineered solutions for any type of dry food or dry ingredient processing is a challenge. Indpro Engineering Systems Pvt. Ltd. is holding a sizable market share in the food sector by providing complete solutions for the segment, especially pneumatic conveying systems, cleaning & sorting systems, storage, weighing solutions for popular products such as – sugar, rice, corn, spices, grains, maida, seasonings, toppings, coatings, cereal, animal feed and Flour. Propelled by the increasing disposable income, the food sector has been witnessing a marked change in consumption pattern. Currently, India is the world’s second largest producer of food in the world and the food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India.
The food Industry is a huge which constantly needs higher hygiene and efficiency. That’s why our customers many a times prefer to go with pneumatic conveying systems considering they are more hygienic and flexible than the traditional mechanical conveying methods. A wide range of foods may be transmitted through pneumatic conveying mechanisms.
India is the biggest global supplier of generic drugs. Indian pharmaceutical industry provides more than 50% of global market for multiple drugs, 40% of US generic production and 25% of all medicines in the UK. India holds a significant role in the pharmaceutical industry worldwide. Our country also has a large pool of scientists and engineers with potential to bring the industry even more forward.
Pharmaceutical sector is also growing at rapid pace. Indpro provides solutions to this sector in the area of pneumatic conveying of dry powders & filtration solutions for handling of various powders having normal, hazardous, explosive and active nature. Closed loop pneumatic conveying systems are offered for hazardous or explosive products using inert gas as a conveying media. Now a days various powder transfer systems are in great demand. Hygienic, quick clean and no residue design are standard features of pneumatic conveying system. Transferring materials pneumatically also supports a virtually dust-free atmosphere. The system’s air-tight pipes isolate carcinogenic and oxygen-sensitive materials from being released into the air, promoting a safer and healthier workplace, not to mention, environment. Charging the vessel/reactor also needs less manpower, giving employees time to attend to other important tasks.
With an increased use of virgin polymers in various products and an increased use of man-made fibers in textile industry, petrochemical industry is required to produce the building blocks ingredients for the most of the chemicals in abundance. To help address this growth we offer a solution to this sector in the area of bulk solids handling from the receipt of the raw material, various intermediate stages till finished product packaging.
Unloading stations, Pneumatic conveying, filtration solutions during handling of various bulk solids, bagging of finished products forms the major part of system supply. Products in the chemical & petrochemical industry can be dangerous and include precautions such as explosion risks, dust control, protection of the environment and prevention of cross contamination.
Plastic and Polymers:
The Indian plastics industry produces and export a wide range of raw materials, plastic-molded extruded goods, polyester films, molded/ soft luggage items, writing instruments, plastic woven sacks and bags, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), leather cloth and sheeting, packaging, consumer goods, sanitary fittings, electrical accessories, laboratory/ medical surgical ware, tarpaulins, laminates, fishnets, travel ware, and others. The Indian plastics industry offer excellent potential in terms of capacity, infrastructure, and skilled manpower. It is supported by many polymer producers, plastic process machinery and mould manufacturers in the country. Among the industry’s major strengths is the availability of raw materials in the country. Thus, plastic processors do not have to depend on import. These raw materials, including polypropylene, high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and PVC, are manufactured domestically. The recent trend of replacing metallic parts with engineering plastics, increase in various types of electronic gadgets & packaging concepts has increased the consumption of plastic as a raw material. To match this development for industries in compounding & master batches, Indpro offer following solutions:
Combination of mechanical & pneumatic conveying of raw material (calcium carbonate, Talc, polymers, resins, various additives etc.) from its receipt till extruder feed
Blending of different polymer grades.
Pneumatic conveying of finished product to storage silo.
De-duster for removal of fines & streamers, generated due to conveying, from finished products before packing.
Bagging & pelletizing solutions for finished products.
India has been lucrative market for global beer giants. India is the third largest and fastest growing liquor market in the world. Alcohol beverage can considered an emerging industry due to its high growth potential and increased social acceptance. According to one research, the market for alcoholic beverages in India is expected to grow by around 7.72% over a 10 year period.
Indpro has been in this sector for 15 years as the most preferred partner by all the corporates when it comes to Greenfield, UB – Breweries across the country, as well as brown-field projects.
Our Pneumatic conveying solutions for Brewery & Distilleries include total dry goods handling section including – Cleaning / Weighing and Milling solutions. Off late we have added to our manufacturing range as end of the line spent grain or DDGS handling solutions. This is a critical application as the moisture of input is in the range of 12 % to 60 %. This changes the product behavioral pattern completely. We have around 200+ installations covering major market share pan India.
