Bulk solids, conveying pneumatic conveyors

Different conveyors such as the belt, chain, and screw types, as well as pneumatic equipment, are used to transport bulk powdered foods. Conveyor belts are used for movement of different types of bulk solids at long distances. The belt and its load are supported on idlers on both conveying and return sections. The material can be discharged over the end of the belt either by using a diagonal scraper, by tilting one or more of the idler pulleys, or by using a tripper.
