Description
Young Industries, Inc., is a value-engineered based manufacturer of bulk materials handling equipment and systems. Our goal is to supply bulk materials handling products, services and replacement parts that are safe, trouble-free to install, simple to maintain, and easy to operate.
As a result, the Young Industries, pneumatic conveyors have proved to provide superior performance and reliability in a wide range of bulk materials handling applications, and offer low cost of ownership.
The dilute phase pneumatic conveyors offered are as follows:
- Positive Pressure Systems
- Negative Pressure Systems
- Combination Negative/Positive Pressure Systems
- Closed Loop Systems
- Centrifugal Blower
Positive Pressure - Dilute Phase
Positive pressure systems are normally utilized for conveying product from a single entry point to one or more destinations. The positive system uses a minimum air quantity to move a given amount of product. Material can be transported over relatively long distances using the positive pressure system.
When required, step line conveying systems can be employed to provide relatively constant conveying velocities to minimize product degradation during the conveying cycle.
Negative Pressure – Dilute Phase
Negative pressure pneumatic systems are well suited for conveying material from a number of inlet points such as unloading rail cars, transporting and discharging product into a single point.
Pneumatic systems are used when a variety of feed configurations may be required, and are almost always used when handling toxic materials to avoid accidental discharge to the atmosphere.
When required, step line conveying systems can be employed to provide relatively constant conveying velocities to minimize product degradation during the conveying cycle.
Combination Pressure - Dilute Phase
The pull-push system incorporates the advantages and benefits of both negative and positive pressure arrangements in a single system. Systems are used where there are multiple material entry points, and multiple delivery points. Typical applications include drawing materials from several points for batching before entering process and unloading from several points such as rail cars with delivery to bulk storage.
When required, step line conveying systems can be employed to provide relatively constant conveying velocities to minimize product degradation during the conveying cycle.
Closed Loop - Dilute Phase
Closed loop systems are used for handling hazardous chemicals, hygroscopic materials and extremely dusty products. Products such as TPA, caustic soda, and IPA require protection from the atmosphere and particularly oxygen. These materials may be transported pneumatically in a closed loop system using an inert gas as the conveying medium.
Both negative and positive pressure conveying systems are adaptable to closed loop design.
This type of system is especially adaptable to edge trim conveying applications and for use in conjunction with rotary knife cutters, reduction mills and similar process machinery which require an air draw for proper operation.
Centrifugal Blower - Dilute Phase
Blower systems can be positive pressure, negative pressure, combination negative/positive pressure, or closed loop systems. They are similar to other pneumatic systems, except that centrifugal blowers replace the positive displacement power packages.
The design of this type system is limited in static pressure capability and usually to relatively short distances. In the case of a thru-the-fan pull/push centrifugal blower system, the product must be adaptable to passing through the blower.
Centrifugal Blower System
Young’s Heavy Duty Centrifugal Blower line offers thirty-two basic models with static pressure capabilities of up to 75″ WG, and volumes to 2,700 CFM are available. Blowers are constructed of stainless steel, carbon steel, including high strength abrasion resistant steels. These blowers can be designed for conveying systems with materials passing directly through the blower.
