Pneumatic conveying for snow storage plants

In Japan, the number of snow storage plants has been increasing for the pill-pose of storing agricultural products and for the air-conditioning of buildings in summer. In order to gather snow, into the snow storage room, a rotary snow plow is often used. bill it is difficult to pile tip stain, within the room from inside out. To overcome this limitation, a pneumatic snow: converging system was developed in order to transport snow to the snow storage plant. The system consists of a blower, snow feeder, cyclone separator, and pipeline. The pressure type of the conveying system incorporates both negative and positive pressures. with a capacity to convey wet snow at 10 t/h a distance of 40m. For snow with free water content below 15%. the system conveyed vet snow without sticking to the inside walls of the pipeline.
