New pipe elbow for pneumatic conveying lines
Elimination of angel hair (streamers) and elbow wear
Pelletron introduce a unique and patented conveying pipeline elbow that is trade named 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 wear of the Pellbow™.
Advantages of the new Pellbow™ design include:
Elimination of streamers, reduction of dust, wear resistants when conveying abrasive products, due to the gentle changing of direction in the piping system. The special designed shape, called Bernoulli pocket, makes the Pellbow™ 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 50 mm to 250mm.
