A special pneumatic conveying solution for transfer of a reactive material

Volkmann was recently challenged to provide a pneumatic conveying solution in a chemical industry process where a powdery intermediate product needed to be removed from a container – still wet from the centrifuge manufacturing process – and conveyed into a dryer. The container was located on the third floor, the dryer on the second floor.
