SOLUTIONS FOR:

TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND

HANDLING OF FLOWABLE

MATERIALS


WHY CONSIDER THE PNEUBULK 1?

KEY FEATURES

• Eliminates the need to build new terminals.

• Can drive up profits by dramatically lowering operating costs of

existing terminals

• Lowers the capex required to start new projects:

• Pneubulk 1 facilitates forward positioning your product ready for

sale, enabling you to take advantage of upcoming projects by creating

project specific temporary portable terminals

• Can be used as a temporary road silo

• allows you to create a portable terminal without going through

the time and trouble of constructing permanent facility.

• Facilitates continuous expansion of sales while lowering

logistics costs by increased use of the rail instead of road.

• Cuts unloading time for rail from 24 hours to 12


UNDERSTANDING THE SUPPLY CHAIN

SITUATION ANALYSIS

55+% of the cost of material is supply chain related.

five methods for transporting dry bulk material.

1. Super Sacks and IBC’s capacity of 1 ton

2. Pneumatic Tanker Trucks capacity of 25 tons

3. Railroad Hopper Cars capacity of 100 tons

4. River Barges capacity of 1000 tons

5. Cargo Ships capacity is unlimited

When you are losing revenue due to demurrage fees, your business

can be largely out of control.

When your project depends on prompt delivery; you are at the at the

mercy of your transporter.

When trans-loading contaminates your material, you rapidly reduce

its value $$ per ton margins.

Pipe System

The dry compressed airflow via 100 mm cam-lock type

joint enters into a main pipe with a 2.5" one-way valve, a

2" safety valve, 1/2"safety valve and a pressure gauge,

then goes into two air cavities at each side of the inside

of the tank through two branch pipes which separately

connected to the tank and main pipe. Another airflow

goes through a 1" ball valve and a 1" one-way valve into

the unloading pipe in order to speed up unloading

cement. The diameter of maim pipe is 76mm and the

branch pipe is 57mm. 4" steel pipe. One discharge

butterfly valve and one 4" male adaptor are fixed on

the discharge pipe
