Efficient Gravity Loading for Semi-Dense Phase Conveying
Cyclonaire GF Series Conveyors are designed for material transfer applications where a rotary valve is not desired. This gravity-loaded conveyor uses a positive displacement blower to pressure convey material at intermediate line velocities and higher material-to-air ratios, helping reduce abrasive wear and product degradation compared to dilute phase systems.
With capacities up to 150 TPH, the GF Series is well suited for powder, pellet, and granular material handling applications, including abrasive feed powders used in cement, minerals, fly ash, and related bulk material processes. The system is designed to support simple transfer applications with short refill times, efficient operation, and dependable conveying performance.
During the gravity load cycle, the HV valve directs blower air through the convey line while material flows by gravity from the source into the transfer vessel. Electronic level controls regulate filling to optimum levels, and the vent material flow is interrupted by a backup timer as needed. Once the transfer vessel reaches the proper level, the system shifts to pressure discharge, fluidizing material for semi-dense conveying and supporting efficient transfer with reduced line wear.
