Dense Phase Brute Force Concept^™

The Brute Force Concept is the lowest cost dense phase system offered by Dynamic Air. This system is a batch type system and is the most basic design offered. It is generally suitable for shorter conveying line distances and for granular, free-flowing, abrasive and non-abrasive materials, such as silica sand or plastic pellets. The Brute Force Concept consists of a pressure vessel, which is referred to as a transporter, and a conveying line.

During the filling cycle, material is charged into the transporter through an inflatable seated butterfly valve. Displaced air is vented up through a vent valve to allow easier filling and to prevent any back pressure that would retard material flow.

Once the transporter is filled, as signaled by a level control or weighing device, the inlet and vent valves close and seal. Then, all the high pressure air required to convey a given product, regardless of distance, is gradually introduced through the top of the transporter during the conveying cycle.

The compressed air introduced into the transporter mixes with material and is forced through the conveying line. The material then conveys in discrete slugs until the transporter and conveying line are empty.

When the conveying line becomes nearly empty, the pressure in the transporter falls to zero and the air supply turns off, allowing the residual air volume to purge the transporter and conveying line.

Characteristics of this system are high air flow at the beginning and end of the transport cycle and higher conveying line pressures. A characteristic "whoosh" signals completion of the cycle.
