ABSTRACT

The concept of pneumatic conveying is very old but now a days its

importance is increasing. This project gives the basic knowledge of the pneumatic conveying. This project report deals with various kinds of pneumatic conveyor.

It also gives the answer to the question of why to use the pneumatic conveyor instead of the other conveyors. Here the broad classification of material handling equipments is explained and different types of the conveyors are described in details with their figures.

We have given a detailed description and explanation of the parts used for the pneumatic conveyor. The list of the particles that can be conveyed is attached and the carrying velocities of some of the particles are included. This will help to know that at what height the material will be carried.

This report shows the detail procedure for the designing of the pneumatic conveyor and the venturi feeder. It also explains the experimental method of calculating the various parameters for design.

Overall this report comprehensively collects all the aspects of Pneumatic Conveying of Solids.
