Pneumatic conveying equipment from Mactenn Systems

Mactenn Systems designs and engineers dense-phase pneumatic conveying equipment for use in applications across many different divisions of industry. The company’s equipment is designed for the conveying of any bulk material in powder, granule or lump form. Mactenn is very experienced in different industries from the chemical, minerals, food
and pharmaceutical along with the building and power industries to mention a few. It has over 35 years of experience with pneumatic conveying and the specific factors that need to be considered when designing a system.

• low energy consumption; low air consumption; y minimal material degradation;
• minimal material segregation;
• handling of very abrasive materials;
• handling of fragile materials; y handling of high temperature materials;
• only one moving part to its systems: the robust Inflatek Valve is capable of hundreds of thousands of cycles between inspections;
• increases pipeline life: standard schedule 40 pipe work can be used for conveying many materials; and
• fully enclosed systems: no material loss in to the atmosphere or working environment.

Mactenn’s robust and reliable Inflatek Valve is at the heart of every system that it designs, and is used in hundreds of different applications around the world. The valve itself uses an inflatable seal, which is designed to allow for a pressure-tight seal against the closing member that prevents any material or air leakages. The Inflatek Valve
is technically one of the best process valves on the market and has many benefits over other types of valve such as the butterfly valve, ball valve and gate valve.

• can close through a moving column of material;
• Mactenn sequencing is available to control complete operation of the valve;
• capable of dealing with temperatures up to 350°C;
• easily maintained; y rated for hundreds of thousands of cycles between inspections;
• can be manufactured in stainless steel or cast iron;
• the inflatable seal is able to over-inflate in the event of wear to the dome;
• the inflatable seal is efficient at creating a pressure-tight seal between the seal and closing member;
• zero contact proximity switch is used to ensure no movement between the dome and seal preventing damage and wear; and
• rotary pneumatic actuator is used to ensure high torque throughout hundreds of thousands of cycles.
