New Pipe Elbow-the Pellbow
To avoid streamers and for abrassive products
Pelletron to Unveil Revolutionary New and patented Pellbow™
Pelletron, the Lancaster, PA-based bulk material handling company, will showcase a unique and patented conveying pipeline elbow that is tradenamed the Pellbow™. It is especially designed to minimize damage caused when solid particles are injected into a high velocity conveying system — the higher the velocity, the more dust and streamers are formed in elbows.
Design Principle:
The Pelletron design creates a streamlined pocket shape by enlarging the bend at the incoming point in order to produce a soft layer of pellets just before they impact the angular target zone. The resulting soft layer of pellets will deflect incoming pellets toward the outlet, thus minimizing product degradation and air pressure resistance.
Advantages of the new Pellbow design include:
Elimination of streamers; reduction of dust; handling of abrasive products and the gentle changing of direction in the piping system. Due to the Bernoulli pocket, the Pellbow is 100% self-cleaning when the pipe system is purged.
The new Pellbow is available in stainless steel, aluminum and cast iron. The special design of the Pellbow can easily adapt to fit to almost all pipe and tube sizes according to various standards. Stub ends and various flange designs are available in sizes 38mm to 250mm.
