Abstract

There are a number of additional facets in the design of pneumatic conveying systems which in their own right could form the basis of a separate handbook. An awareness of the intricacies of silo and hopper design, wear in pneumatic conveying systems and the type and characteristics of a number of essential hardware components are deemed to be important information for the system designer.
