Top Positive Pressure Conveying Systems for Food & Beverage Manufacturing Plants
Modern positive pressure pneumatic conveying systems face critical hygiene in food industry challenges, especially when handling sensitive food ingredients conveying. Optimizing process parameters for food applications ensures both compliance and operational efficiency.
1. Hygiene-Centric Design for Sanitary Conveyance
Food processing demands EHEDG/FDA-compliant systems with dead-space-free welding (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) and CIP/SIP capabilities (ASGCO, p.3-4). Modular components enable tool-free disassembly – a key cleanability solution noted by industry experts (Food Processing, p.3). For high-risk ingredients like allergens, powder handling systems require:
- · Double-sealed diverter valves
- · Automated 4-stage cleaning cycles
- · ATP verification (<0.01μg/cm² residue)

Process parameters for food must balance throughput and product preservation:
Energy-efficient positive pressure pneumatic conveying system manufacturer solutions could reduce thermal impact by 30% while maintaining 25,000 lbs/hr throughputs (Coperion, p.2).
3. Specialized Applications & Efficiency Gains
For upstream projects involving bulk railcar unloading, positive-pressure systems outperform vacuum alternatives in:
- · Long-distance transport (>250 ft)
- · Multi-destination routing
- · Gentle handling of friable materials like sugar (Food Processing, p.2-3)
Powder transfer solutions incorporating rotary airlock valves maintain pressure differentials critical for material integrity (Coperion, p.2).
