Kongskilde Industries offers a range of proven conveying blowers. SUC blowers are an optimal source of energy for a multitude of industrial granules material handling systems.
A conveying system moves materials from point A to point(s) B. A suction blower is a dedicated machine used for pneumatic granulate transport. In simple terms, this means that they operate via vacuum and air pressure in order to move substances such as granules from their original collection point to the preferred destination.
Applications
In order to accomplish their task as efficiently and practically as possible, a suction blower needs both a high suction and blowing power. The use of industrial suction blowers is versatile, however, they are most often used in the transport of granules from a place of storage (e.g. a silo) to a truck or other types of day tanks.
These systems are used in a multitude of industries and are often necessary for production, product transfer, and/or recycling processes.

How it works
The transport of granules is accomplished by extraordinarily high suction capacity.
Suction capacity is defined as the negative pressure produced when using a particular machine. In order to obtain this high suction capacity, suction blowers convert the kinetic energy of a rotating wheel to air, thereby transforming the circular motion into pressure and thus a space void of matter – also referred to as a vacuum.
The creation of a vacuum, therefore, occurs as a result of air being removed in order to force substances into a space devoid of matter via diffusion.
