Bulk Pneumatic Transfer

Hose Master plays a critical role in bulk pneumatic transfer, where systems must reliably move powders, pellets, and granular materials under pressure or vacuum, often in harsh, high-duty environments. From abrasive materials to constant vibration and equipment movement, bulk transfer systems demand components engineered for strength, flexibility, and long term reliability.

Strength, Flexibility, and Reliability for Bulk Pneumatic Transfer

Bulk pneumatic conveying systems rely on air or gas flow to transport dry materials efficiently and safely. In these applications, hoses and expansion joints must handle abrasion, vibration, pressurized flow, and continuous movement without compromising performance. Hose Master’s metal hose assemblies and expansion joints are manufactured to meet these challenges, delivering dependable operation where rubber, fabric, or plastic alternatives fall short.

Metal Hose Applications in Pneumatic Conveying

Stripwound metal hose assemblies are essential components in bulk pneumatic transfer systems. They provide flexible, rugged connections that absorb motion, vibration, and misalignment while safely conveying air and bulk materials.

Common Applications Include:

• Pneumatic Conveying Systems
  Transport powders and granular materials under positive pressure or vacuum while accommodating movement between fixed piping and mobile equipment.

• Dust Collection and Ventilation Lines
  Maintain leak-resistant connections that handle pressure fluctuations and help prevent contamination or material loss.

• Truck and Railcar Loading Systems
  Withstand constant vibration and flexing during loading and unloading of bulk materials.

• Feed, Mixing, and Weighing Equipment
  Allow for equipment movement and vibration without disrupting flow or containment.

• Hot Air Blowers
  Safely circulate heated air through the conveying stream to keep materials dry and free flowing.

Performance Advantages:

• Excellent flexibility for vibration and movement control

• Superior resistance to abrasion and fatigue for longer service life

• Safe handling of high temperatures and air velocities

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability

Expansion Joints in Bulk Pneumatic Transfer Systems

In pneumatic conveying systems, piping is constantly subjected to vibration, thermal expansion, and mechanical movement. Hose Master’s metal expansion joints are engineered to absorb these forces, protecting equipment, reducing stress on connections, and minimizing unplanned downtime.

Key Applications Include:

• Blower and Compressor Connections
  Absorb vibration and thermal growth to protect critical equipment.

• Material Transfer Lines
  Compensate for expansion, contraction, and misalignment during system operation.

• Dust Control and Vent Systems
  Maintain sealing integrity despite temperature cycling and vibration.

• Processing and Conveying Systems
  Protect piping, supports, and structural components from dynamic and thermal stress.

Performance Advantages:

• Accommodate axial, lateral, and angular movement with minimal force transfer

• Reduce vibration and noise for improved operating conditions

• Fabricated from high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloys

• Designed to meet industry safety and performance standards

Built for Movement and Designed for Performance

Bulk pneumatic transfer systems depend on consistent flow, reliable containment, and durable components. Hose Master’s metal hose assemblies and expansion joints are engineered to perform in the toughest bulk handling environments which help operators maintain productivity, reduce maintenance, and extend system life.

Whether supporting stationary pneumatic conveying lines or mobile bulk loading operations, Hose Master solutions deliver the strength, flexibility, and reliability required to keep bulk materials moving safely and efficiently.
