The dense phase pneumatic conveyor system uses dry compressed air at 5 bar(g) for conveying coke & carbon fines at a rate of 2 tons per hour through a steel pipe of 80 NB (pipe thickness is 4.5 mm). The material velocity is 5 m/s.

The coke material has following properties:
•Particle size is 0 to 1 mm.
•dry & abrasive nature.
•Angle of sliding friction between coke & steel pipe: 21°
•Hard groove index: 33 to 42
•density: 0.7 tons/cu.metre

We are utilizing the gallery portion of adjacent belt conveyor for supporting this pipe. At the starting point, the material climbs up through the pipe along the gallery inclination of 12°.
The total conveying distance is 356 m, of which the vertical lift is 36 m. Booster air is introduced at mid conveying distance.

We would appreciate your feedback for following points:
“Whether the pneumatic conveying can be done through inclined piping, having inclination upto 15°.”
