Mecawber Denseveyor

Denseveyor
Low velocity, dense phase solids pump conveys difficult-to-handle materials in one smooth operation.
The ultimate conveying system for handling your difficult-to-convey materials: abrasive, hot and/or wet. Gentle handling of friable products prevent degradation and separation of blended materials.
Macawbers Denseveyor
Smooth, low-velocity dense-phase pneumatic conveying of powders, granules and irregularly shaped materials without degradation or segregation. Hot, wet, fine or coarse, blended or batched Denseveyor handles them all.
Phase Density
Two important features of the Denseveyor design combine to provide a nonfluidizing conveying technique which in turn reduces air requirements, and therefore, establishes a high phase density normally between 30 and 150, depending on material and application objectives.
Patented Dome Valve

The vessel valve is purpose-designed to provide a high degree of reliability up to 500,000 cycles between inspections in approved applications even when operating with abrasive materials such as sands and ash or coke fines. More than 5,000 Dome Valves are operating throughout the world on heavy-duty pressure sealing and flow control, as well as shut-off applications. The reliability of the Dome Valve sets the Denseveyor apart from systems of inferior design.
Coal /Coke /Fly Ash
Wet, lump coal, fines, coke breeze, dust and fly ash, siftings, wood ash
Pipework Wear
The unique low-velocity, nonfluidizing principle of the Denseveyor insures low velocity control of the bulk material. Since internal pipewear increases by the square of material velocity, a considerable reduction in pipewear is possible with the Denseveyor system even with the most abrasive materials.
Raw and Prepared Foods

Raw and roasted peanuts, almonds, unpuffed loops, non-dairy creamer, granular yeast, loose tea, corn, sugars, raisins, fructose, salts
Material Velocity Control

Low-velocity control is important in maintaining a nonfluidizing conveying regime. This is achieved by when a proper relationship is established between total material resistance to flow for each cycle and the minimum air energy required.

Foundry Sands
Resin-coated, green, blended new and reclaimed, premix bond
Low Air Consumption

Chemicals/Powders Plastics/Minerals
Titanium dioxide, aluminum trihydrate, PVC and CPVC resin pellets and chips, phenolic resin dust/ powder, pebble lime and limestone
Alternate Fuels
Wastewater treatment sludges, paper and pulp wastes, incineration
Each of the foregoing principles ultimately equate the economy. High material velocity is unnecessary to achieve almost all our customers objectives. The Dense-veyor provides the best combination of reliability, durability, economy and performance than any other so-called dense-phase pneumatic conveying process.

Simplicity is the most recognizable feature of the Denseveyor design. With most applications, level probes and outlet valves are not required to be mounted within the pressure vessel since the vessel closing device, Macawbers patented Dome Valve, is purpose-designed to close and seal through a static or dynamic column of material. The special relationship between vessel capacity and pipeline insures the movement of material without dependence on material fluidization, pipeline boosters or high velocity.

Dome Valve closes through material at the end of the filling sequence, instantly seals to prevent conveying air from escaping.
Air is introduced at a controlled rate to destination without the need for continuous fluidization.
A Solid Dense Phase Very low material velocity pipeline full of material an excellent regime for fragile materials. B Discontinuous Dense Phase Low material velocity pipeline almost full of
material which moves in plug flow fashion best regime for most applications in which power economy, pipe erosion and material degradation issues are important;
Opening cycle is repeated continuously until the transfer signal is cancelled.

C Continuous Dense Phase Highest velocity below the saltation velocity of the
material conveyed suitable for powder and narrow particle size distribution may not be optimum design for abrasive materials;
D Dilute Phase Material velocity above the saltation velocity no upper limit to the
velocity least attractive regime for operating economy unsuitable for abrasive materials or materials with wide particle size distribution.
Selecting the correct pneumatic conveying regime for your requirements is a vital decision for a successfully designed system. Almost all applications will benefit from a regime providing the heaviest line loading and the lowest material velocity. These attributes also provide the greatest conveying gas economies for efficient power consumption. Our Scientific Approach to studying your conveying requirements assures you that the lowest material velocities are achieved consistent with any limitations of the material characterization.

Research, Testing and Demonstration Facilities

The company possesses a purpose-built, stand-alone facility dedicated to research, testing and demonstration. Within the facility, systems utilizing the companys technology are connected to full-size pipelines running within the building. A computer based data acquisition system permits instantaneous collation of information for review of significant performance parameters. Our materials characterization laboratory performs analysis of bulk materials to achieve a full understanding of bulk materials samples before they are presented to the test circuits. Applied research and application testing is only a part of the development program. We are continuously engaged in data acquisition through fundamental research of new system development aimed at the needs of new processes in many industries.
Material characteristics are thoroughly studied before engineering or manufacturing has begun. Macawber systems are guaranteed to satisfy customer specifications and requirements.
Design and Innovation Keeps Us Ahead

Every Macawber Advanced Pneumatic Conveying System is fitted with the Dome Valve to insure operating reliability and system efficiency. The first successful, inflatable seat valve, Macawber developed and patented this technological breakthrough to provide efficient closing and sealing of the pressure vessel. Macawbers Dome Valve is unique in its ability to close in one action through a static or moving column of material entering the vessel. This feature insures complete filling of the vessel, and a simple control philosophy that does not rely on level probes fitted in the vessel. Available in standard sizes from 4 to 20 and duty temperatures from -160F to 900F with pressure ratings from full vacuum to 600 psig, the Dome Valve can be constructed to your material specifications for any bulk solids handling application.
Custom fabrication of 304 and 316 stainless steel Denseveyors are used in food markets for sterile transfer of ingredients and finished products. Macawbers patented Dome Valve , the Denseveyors only moving part, provides complete vessel filling without level probes. Rated at 500,000 cycles between scheduled inspections, maintenance is almost eliminated! Turnkey capability ensures system performance and total customer satisfaction time after time.
