Powder Pump integrated systems pneumatically convey material safely and reliably, improving operator health and plant safety while maintaining the integrity of your product.
The Powder Pump is a dense-phase pneumatic conveying system that eliminates the need to manually handle solids and minimizes other potential hazards by providing a closed system to transfer materials such as powders, prills, granules, flakes, etc. in a safe and contained manner. Simple in design and operation, the Powder Pump enables hazardous and toxic materials to be charged into an inerted vessel without exposure to operators or the environment and eliminates the need to open manways, which can result in the formation of explosive mixtures of solvent vapors, dust and oxygen.

DDPS provides multiple bulk bag configurations to provide a fully customized solution for bulk bag emptying and solids transfer operations. The Powder Pump system can be used with a new or existing bulk bag unloader to ensure high-level product/dust containment. A customized discharge hopper, capable of facilitating your specific material’s flow into the transfer line is another featured component of the system. Through product testing and analysis, we review and address all application requirements, including bulk bag & outlet spout design, material conditioning requirements, solids flow promotion, solids : gas mixing ratio, batch weight control and empty bag dust evacuation & removal.
From simple solutions that integrate dust collectors into bag dump stations, to more complex systems that incorporate glove boxes, side entry ports and bag compactors, DDPS has the expertise to design a complete solution for small bag emptying and solids transfer operations. Vibration and fluidization gas flow controls, along with a specialized hopper on the bag dump station are designed specifically to adjust the solids/gas ratio in the conveying line, creating the ideal conditions to move your product. We review and address all other aspects of the transfer process including containment during bag feeding and emptying, material de-lumping or milling requirements and disposal of empty bags.
Depending on the level of containment required, material from drums can be transferred in a variety of ways with the Powder Pump system. A simple suction lance/wand attached to the end of a transfer hose provides the most basic arrangement, with more complex isolator type drum unloading stations available for operations that require higher levels of containment. DDPS can provide drum unloading solutions of various levels of sophistication based on transfer needs of your product. In addition to our standard solutions analysis, we also review and address drum sealing and containment prior to opening, managing secondary liner bags in drums, and contained removal of empty drums.
