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...

While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
