A Fully Enclosed, Sealed System for Clean Material Movement
Pneumatic conveying is performed through an enclosed pipeline, maintaining a controlled, contamination-free environment while transporting materials using either positive pressure or vacuum.
Key Advantages
- Sealed System: All piping, transitions, and components are airtight to maintain system performance and eliminate uncontrolled leaks.
- Contamination Control: Materials stay fully isolated from the external environment—critical for food, pharma, metals processing, and hazardous dust.
- Efficient Transport: Vacuum or pressure flow maintains consistent velocity and pressure for stable conveying across long distances.
- Dust Containment: Properly designed systems prevent dust escape and reduce housekeeping and emission issues.
Engineered Solutions for Dry Powders & Particulates
Dry powders and granular materials—food ingredients, plastics, metal powders, aggregates, and specialty chemicals—represent the most common use of pneumatic conveying systems. These materials benefit from:
- Controlled airflow
- Flexible system routing
- Sanitary and contamination-free transfer
- Reliable product capture and discharge
- High-efficiency filtration
- Safe handling of combustible or hazardous dusts
Systems can be designed as portable or central, supporting single or multiple transfer points and integrating with a wide range of upstream and downstream equipment.
| Industry | Common Materials Conveyed |
| Pharmaceutical | APIs, excipients, tablets, capsules |
| Food & Beverage | Flour, starch, cocoa, sugar, spices |
| Chemical | Titanium dioxide, silica, catalysts |
| Energy & Metal | Aluminum powder, fly ash, copper dust |
| Plastics | Resins, pellets, PVC powders |
Vacuum & Pressure Conveying Options
Vacuum Conveying
Best for:
- Multiple pickup points
- Short to medium distances
- Dust-sensitive environments
- Batch or manual feed operations
Pressure Conveying
Best for:
- Long-distance conveying (hundreds to thousands of feet)
- High-throughput demands
- Dense phase or abrasive materials
Dilute Phase Conveying
High-velocity airflow for lightweight or non-fragile powders.
Dense Phase Conveying
Low-velocity, high-pressure transport for:
- Abrasive powders
- Fragile or friable materials
- Metal powders
- High-value specialty ingredients
Material Feeding & Transfer Methods
Materials may be introduced into the conveying system through:
- Metered feeders for precise dosing
- Manual dump stations for batching
- Rotary valves, screw feeders, or vacuum pickups
- Multi-purpose portable or central vacuum systems
These systems can also reclaim materials that escape mechanical conveyors at transfer or fill points.
Extended Capability: Conveying Small Manufactured Parts
Although pneumatic conveying is most commonly used for powders and fine particulates, Air Dynamics also engineers solutions for small, discrete parts when the application warrants it.
Examples include:
- Plastic caps and molded components
- Stamped metal pieces
- Lightweight assembly items
- Fasteners or connectors
- Electronics components
Challenges We Solve
Moving small parts pneumatically requires engineering controls beyond standard dust systems. We address:
- Tumbling and bounce behavior
- Damage-risk from excessive velocity
- Bridging or jamming in elbows and transitions
- Irregular part aerodynamics
- Noise and part impact reduction
How We Engineer It
- Low- or medium-velocity transport to avoid damage
- Custom feeders, vibratory inlets, or rotary valves
- Large-radius elbows and smooth transitions
- Wear-resistant, jam-free designs
- Deceleration and gentle receiving systems
Small-part conveying is a specialty solution we offer when dust-focused systems aren't the right fit—and it’s driven by the same airflow science and precision engineering that defines all Air Dynamics systems.

Case Studies
Industrial Lint Removal
Air Dynamics was able to provide a LRS II system for a client In Reno, Nevada who needed a lint filtration system to handles its' heavy-duty laundry operation.
Peppermill had new ironers that generated more lint into the production area, creating a fire hazard.
Air Dynamics performs a ACGIH certified industrial ventilation risk assessment and analysis for each project.
Dust and Lint Control
A textile services company approached Air Dynamics Industrial Services for a specialized central and portable vacuum system.
Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation was approached by the president of the Textile Services company requesting a more efficient and adaptable vacuuming system.
Air Dynamics provided a versatile central and portable vacuum, engineered specially for the client's needs, which included the ability to drastically reduce the time it would take to perform the cleaning process.
Silica Containment & Control
Air Dynamics Industrial Systems Corporation manufactures an industrial dust collector ventilation system for PPG.
The major challenge faced by PPG was a high amount of silica dust being produced in their glass-cutting process.
Air Dynamics is a turn-key manufacturer, which means the project is taken from concept to installation by Air Dynamics’ project managers.
