Pneumatic conveying an attractive alternative to mechanical means. Maintenance reduction, cleanliness and plant safety are advantages that pneumatic conveying can provide. Sugar is transported through enclosed pipelines with few moving parts to be maintained. Integrated filtration systems allow the sugar to be delivered to its next destination in a clean and dust-free environment.

Indeed, pneumatic conveying of sugar results certainly in “fine sugar”. Moreover, the used conveying air must be very dry as sugar is hygroscopic and the temperature after the nozzle can drop to very cold temperatures, causing condensation.
