The MÖLLER ®

TURBUFLOW
Transport System
 TURBUFLOW Transport System ®

MÖLLER has developed a pneumatic conveying
system which is especially suitable for fine bulk
materials. The patented system is characterized
by the inner pipe, which gives the process an
advantage due to its special design over conven-
tional pipes.
Due to high operational reliability and very low
operational and maintenance costs, TURBUFLOW®
is one of the most economical systems in pneu-
matic conveying systems technology.

Characteristics of the TURBUFLOW® convey- top pressure

ing system:
I a patented TURBUFLOW® conveying pipe
with an inner tube
I a secondary inner tube with inlet and outlet
openings and an integrated disk

conveying air
pressure vessel
I consequently creation of local turbulance for
blockage-free dense phase conveyance
annular nozzle
I specific design of the secondary tube for
various applications
I maximized conveyance capacities at minimal direction of flow

operational costs
I low conveyance velocities
ball valve
conveying air booster chamber

Applications for TURBUFLOW®:

I pneumatic pressure vessel conveying, in
power stations, aluminium smelters, cement
works and similar industrial branches world-
wide
I single-, twin- and triple pressure vessel
systems
I as a Multi-TTS conveying system for economi-
cal ash removal of electrostatic
precipitators (ESP) and fabric filters
I for fine-grained and anorganic bulk materials
I proven successful for fly ash, alumina,
cement, and other fluidizable materials

conveying process:

I The carrier gas ( typically compressed air ) flo-
ws from left to right through the TURBUFLOW 16

pipe ( fig 3). Turbulance of the flow through 14

the pipe is maintained through orifice plates.

12 Conventional pipe
I If a lump forms somewhere in the TURBU- ( final velocity)
FLOW® pipe, the flow through the secondary 10

pipe is increased. Upon release at the next 8

opening, the lump or material clot is fluidized

by the turbulence.
I This results in an immediate reduction in the 4

flow resistance of the material being convey- 2 TTS - pipe

ed. The material is thus conveyed compactly, ( final velocity)

I The TURBUFLOW® transport system can the- fig.4.: Wear factor in relation to conveyance velocity

refore be restarted even with a full pipe.

I Due to the continuous and intensive mixing of PRESSURE/TIME DIAGRAM
conveying material and air it is possible to
have high loading capacities (kg material / kg
air) at low conveying velocities.
I Conveying velocities from 2 m/s at the start
and 8 m/s at the end of the conveying pipe
can be achieved and ensure reduced wear
(see fig.4).
I Depending on the conveying pressure, the
material flow into the TURBUFLOW® convey-
ing system is controlled, so that the system
always operates at a high pressure level and
thus at the optimal operating point (see fig.5).

Take advantage of the benefits of the fig.5.: Pressure -time diagram during TURBUFLOW® conveyance
TURBUFLOW® system:
I reduced air requirement, therefore small com-
I slow and therefore wear-resistant movement pressors and filters
of the material I low energy requirements
I no blockages, re-start possible with a full pipe I self-regulating, no additional valves along the
I low maintenance and high reliability pipe
I highly efficient conveying process I Choosing TURBUFLOW® will give you:
– low maintenance costs
– low energy costs
– low operating costs
