Intakes are the point of
entry for the material into a pneumatic conveying system. As such,
proper intake design affects conveying system performance. Unlike a
vacuum cleaner accessory nozzle, conveying system intakes are not
interchangeable for multiple applications. Designing and engineering
each intake for its purpose results in a worry-free system.
Intakes
are specifically designed for the material specifications of the
application. The material’s size, density, and weight determine the
intake’s dimension and shape.
Intake hoppers are designed for
drop-in materials like vegetable scraps, recycling waste, and material
pieces entering the removal system in “x” quantity per minute/hour.
Slitter
dust system knife intakes are application specific and design factors
include the size, width, and shape of the slitter knife.
These are a sampling of some of the intakes used in systems.
