Pneumatic conveying elbow

HammerTek has developed an online video library at its website showcasing the company’s Smart Elbow®, which can be used in conveying systems that transport lime in wastewater treatment applications, along with other materials. In both live action and 3-D animation, the video library offers demonstrations revealing how the unique shape and configuration of the pneumatic conveying elbow causes particles to gather in a slowly rotating, self-renewing, round deflection zone of material and air before proceeding downstream. The result, as shown in the videos, is reduced elbow wear for savings in maintenance and corresponding cuts in line downtime along with improvements in particle integrity and environmental hygiene.
