Increasing system capacity I
Building on the information presented in his first three series of columns, Paul E. Solt -- a private consultant with more than 39 years experience installing and troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems -- presents a fourth series of columns on troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems. In a separate section, Solt also answers your pneumatic conveying questions.
In this second column on troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems, we'll concentrate on increasing system capacity. You may need to increase the capacity of even a well-running system to handle higher production demand or, if the system was initially undersized, to correct the capacity.
