Study of Pneumatic Material Handling Machine

Aarti Gupta

Abstract


Pneumatics is one of the most used systems in these days. Today equipment and system use this type of actuating because it is a very safe, economic and ease to implement. The main advantage of pneumatic conveying system is that material is transferred in close loop, thereby preventing the environmental effect on the material and vice versa. In the setopic different parameters like air velocity, pressure, particle size and shape, distance to be conveyed, which govern the design of the system, are described. Material handling systems are characterized by repetitive movements, speed and displacement control and precision, requirements that recommend pneumatics driving. The present paper is focused on pneumatics used in material handling system, underling the limitation or the specific application of concrete actuators.
