Pressure Lean Phase
Lean or dilute phase pressure conveying systems use positive displacement blowers to convey materials through a pipeline to a destination where the air and product are separated by a filter.
Convey rates: | < 30 tonnes/h. |
Convey Distances: | from short distances to 200 m. |
Air mover: | positive displacement (Roots Type) blower or fan |
Conveying Pressure: | < 1 Barg. |
Material Air Ratios: | low to medium |
NB: All values are approximate: please contact GEA for advice about how to convey your product.
A wide variety of options for system and component design is available to suit particular system requirements, including the following:
Abrasion resistant piping and bends for non-sanitary highly abrasive products
Dense phase pressure conveying systems use compressed air to push materials from a single or twin pressure pot system through a pipeline to a destination where the air and product are separated.
Lean or dilute phase vacuum conveying systems generally use positive displacement exhausters to provide a vacuum (up to 50%) to convey materials through a pipeline to receiving vessel where the air and product are filtered and separated. Lower capacity fan-based systems are also available.
Dense phase vacuum conveying systems use high capacity vacuum pumps (up to 99% vacuum) to convey materials from a feed hopper or silo to a receiving vessel or vacuum hopper where the air and product are separated by a filter. When the vessel is full, the vacuum is isolated and the conveyed product is discharged into the destination silo. The prod...

Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
