Home Products Storage and Handling Klein PLUG FLO® Pneumatic Sand Transporter
This entire line includes pneumatic conveyors, batch mixing, and cooling/classification for the foundry and rail sand industry.

Conventional pneumatic conveying systems come in two broad categories: Dilute Phase and Dense Phase.
However, the high velocities of the sand grains traveling in the pipeline, with either the dilute or the dense phase system, wear out pipes and bends prematurely, even when Schedule 80 pipe is used – literally sand blasting the pipe walls – causing degradation of the sand and generating excessive fines/dust. It is not uncommon to see dilute and so called dense phase fluidized systems with transport velocities approaching 3000 feet per minute and more.
The success of these systems depends entirely on keeping the material in suspension at all times by installing boosters along the line, and because of the excessive velocities required a portion of the material is always pulverized during transport.
Result:
Waste of a good product, increased fines, higher resin usage, useless downtimes and repetitive expensive repairs.
Unlike conventional transporters, the KLEIN PLUG FLO® operates with:
The unique features of the KLEIN PLUG FLO® system make it possible to transport sand through pipelines with very little degradation. Unlike dilute and dense phase conveying systems where grain fineness reduction of 5 points and more can be experienced the KLEIN PLUG FLO® system typically stays within one half point or less. Naturally, this can mean a great deal for your operations where grain fineness must be maintained to meet quality tolerances. Lower air pressure, lack of fluidization air boosters and the KLEIN PLUG FLO® principle result in lower air consumption and therefore smaller dust collection syetem requirements at the receiver. The KLEIN PLUG FLO® system is especially suitable for granular, free flowing materials and offers lower wear and abrasion as well as minimum material separation or reaction during the transport phase.
1. No fluidization – resulting in:
