Calcium Carbonate
A customer reached out to Macawber Group in need of a solution to convey their calcium carbonate. The material has proven to be difficult to handle in that it has caused high dynamic load during conveying, so pipeline security is critical. We added a sparge air supply to the vessel which was deemed beneficial and necessary for the material to be conveyed. The sparge was utilized to aid a better convey regime and create a smoother flow. We supplied our customer with a 3/4-2 Denseveyor® (Maxflo®), along with custom controls and other ancillary equipment, and since implementing our dense phase pneumatic conveying system, our customer has seen a large improvement in productivity and efficiency.
