Description

3,000 KG Batch – 500 KG/H – Explosion Rated – Stainless Steel – PED Certified


Overview


Unused, engineered dense phase pneumatic conveying and blending system originally designed for ultra-fine graphite powder in a classified explosion safety zone.


This is not a general-purpose powder system. It was custom-engineered for:


  • Fine particle size (5–50 µm)
  • Low bulk density material (0.34–0.58 kg/dm³)
  • Ultra-low moisture (<0.1%)
  • Explosion-risk environment
  • Controlled dense-phase transfer
  • Pressure-assisted blending


Original new cost: $389,088 CAD


System has never been commissioned.



SYSTEM APPLICATION


Designed specifically for:

• Graphite

• Carbon black

• Battery materials

• Fine minerals

• Conductive powders

• Explosion-sensitive dust

Ideal for operations requiring:

✔ Dense phase conveying

✔ Controlled low-velocity transport

✔ Dust cloud minimization

✔ ATEX / explosion safety compliance

✔ Homogeneous batch blending
