In pneumatic conveying, the core component, the air source equipment, is crucial for ensuring reliable transportation. It must be safe and reliable. Since the methods of pneumatic conveying, the locations of use, the conveying distance, the required capacity, and the characteristics of the material being conveyed all vary, the power and principles of pneumatic conveying differ as well. Common air source equipment includes air compressors, Roots blowers, Roots vacuum pumps, and centrifugal fans. Regardless of the type of equipment chosen as the system's power source, Shandong Juheng recommends considering the following aspects:

Based on the conveying conditions, fully meet the required air volume and pressure: due to changes in the physical properties of the conveyed material, variations in environmental climate and humidity, as well as the wear and tear of the equipment used, the function of the pneumatic conveying system may decline; therefore, when selecting the air source, the air volume and pressure calculated by the design should have a certain margin.

2. Changes in pressure will also affect the air volume; drastic changes in air volume due to pressure fluctuations can cause pipeline blockages when the velocity inside the pipe decreases. Conversely, an increase in pipe velocity will enhance the pressure required for conveying, accelerating pipeline wear and material breakage. Since the working range of the pneumatic system is broad, the pressure needed for conveying is several times more than that for pure air flow conveying, ensuring that the motor does not overheat.

3. Be less sensitive to dust; to prevent fine particles from entering the gas source equipment and causing gas malfunctions.

4. For positive pressure pneumatic conveying system air source equipment, it is essential to minimize the oil and moisture content in the exhaust. For pneumatic conveying systems used in chemical industries and food conveying, due to the strict prohibition of oil content in the air, a negative pressure pneumatic conveying system should be adopted, and centrifugal fans, Roots vacuum pumps, or oil-free reciprocating compressors can be selected. In all cases, air filters and oil-water separators must be used to eliminate oil, moisture, and dust from the air as much as possible.

5. Durable and reliable in operation.

6. Types and properties of the conveying medium used: temperature, humidity, corrosiveness, suction pressure, lubrication conditions, etc.

7. Installation location, foundation load-bearing capacity, area, height restrictions, surrounding temperature, and conditions for access and installation.

8. Operations Management, Control, and Monitoring: Automated Control, Remote Control, and Local Control

9. Compliant with environmental protection requirements and noise restrictions;
