This is small presentation for everyone related to engineering industry what actually pneumatic conveying is? It is usefull for range of people from trainee engineers to directors and CEO's planing to install pneumatic Conveying system in their factory or business premises.

1. AIR KINETICS
• “AIR KINETICS” was started in year 2013 by experienced
technocrats with rich experience in the field of “ Pneumatic
Conveying Systems” and “Storage Silos
• “AIR KINETICS” designs and engineers all their systems and
components in house. Over the years Air Kinetics has
developed manufacturing facilities of their own at Thane
works.
• "Air Kinetics" has also committed large recourses for R&D.
Amongst rare facilities, Air Kinetics is having a test loop
with a capacity to evaluate the parameters o the unknown
materials with a transport rate of up to 3T/hours. This
facility contains fair amount of instrumentation.

2. OUR STRENGTH
• The partners have about 20 years of experience in above field in
international, arena.
• About 90% of the components are manufactured in-house,
whereby the delivery periods are greatly reduced.
• In the field of silos "Air Kinetics" can manufacture silos in the
capacity ranging from 5 M3 to 500 M3 in carbon steel as well as
stainless steel.
• Recently "Air Kinetics" has started manufacturing silos in aluminum
alloy ( Al Mg 3). Air Kinetics has a strength of about 10 aluminum
welders, few of them were trained by the partners in Germany.

4. OUR PRODUCTS
• Pneumatic Conveying System
• Silo (Storage Devices)
• Rotary Air Lock Valves
• Plug Diverter valves
• Multi Port Silo Discharger
• Reverse Jet Bag Filter
• Dust Collection System
• Vibrator
• Pneumatic Blenders

5. How Pneumatic Blender Works?
• Blender is charged with powders to be
blended in the blender either by pneumatic
conveying or otherwise.
• Air is blown into powder bed through
fluidizing cone
• After the powder in the vessel is completely
fluidized, Agitating air pulses are introduced
through bottom nozzle.

6. How Pneumatic Blender Works?
• Agitating pulse duration is about 300 to 500
milli seconds.
• Interval between pulse is around 20-35
seconds.
• After about 30 to 40 minutes pulsing is
stopped and material is discharged through
bottom nozzle
• While discharging fluidizing air is still blown in
the material to avoid segregation of material.

7. Data Required For Designing
Pneumatic Blender
• We need to know following properties of
material.
• Particle Size (Maximum and Minimum)
• Standard deviation between particle sizes
• Fluidizing Property of Material/ Powder
All above properties can be checked at our works.

8. Comparison between
mechanical & Pneumatic Blending
Mechanical Blenders
• For 5 T powder Blending
Required time is about 3-4 Hrs
• Temperature rise of blend is
about 20o to 30o C
• For 5 T blender about 30Kw is
required for 4 hrs.= 120Kwhr
• Some Pigments are sensitive
to temperature rise thus
causing loss of quality
Pneumatic Blenders
• For 5 T blending time is
about 40 minutes.
• No Significant Temperature
rise.
• Total Power consumption of
5kW for ½ Hr.= 2.5 kwhr.
• No temperature rise hence
no loss of Quality
