  • DENSE PHASE PUMP FOR DRY PARTICULATE MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20140169990
    Abstract: A dense phase pump for particulate material includes a pump chamber wherein material flows into the pump chamber under negative pressure and flows out of the pump chamber under positive pressure. A plurality of pinch valves are provided to control flow of material into and out of the pump chamber. The pinch valves are operated independent of each other and of the pump cycle rate. A modular design of the pump is provided.

  • Powder pump flow monitoring method and system
    Publication number: 20060093442
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for monitoring flow conditions in a pipe system (28), into which a mixture of pulverulent material and compressed conveying air is admitted from a feed pump (2) by alternately filling at least two chambers (10, 12) of the feed pump (2) with pulverulent material and then alternately emptying the chambers into the pipe system (28) by feeding compressed conveying air from a compressed air source (48) into one of the previously filled chambers (10, 12). To detect fluctuations in the flow conditions and especially to detect obstructions within the pipe system (28) and in this way to allow continuous process monitoring, the invention proposes that the flow rate of the compressed conveying air be measured and analyzed in a common compressed air feed line (70) leading from the compressed air source (48) to the two chambers (10, 12).
