Industrial systems
A robust pressure-vessel system configured for compatible industrial transfer duties.
Explore the solutionBy material
Pneumatic transfer for molasses.
Evaluate replacing a molasses gear or rotary lobe pump with a SINOSEN pneumatic system. Review Brix, minimum temperature, filling time and pipe losses.
Understand the material. Define the duty.
Molasses viscosity can change substantially with temperature and composition. Select the system using conditions at the coldest expected transfer point, not only a laboratory value at a warmer temperature.
What the system design addresses
Insulation or heating provisions, pipe diameter, elevation and vent separation can all affect the duty. Define the allowable residue and cleaning procedure for shutdowns and product changes.
The data that makes selection accurate.
| Data group | Details to provide |
|---|---|
| Product properties | Viscosity at operating temperature, density, Brix where applicable, solids or crystals, foaming and air-contact restrictions. |
| Transfer conditions | Required average and peak flow, horizontal distance, elevation, pipe diameter, bends, back pressure and receiver conditions. |
| Utilities & hygiene | Available air pressure and sustained capacity, power supply, cleaning method, material requirements and applicable site standards. |

Explore the solutionTechnical questions, answered
Can it replace every gear or rotary lobe pump?
Replacement is application-specific. We check viscosity at operating temperature, solids, air compatibility, flow stability, pressure drop, hygiene and total compressed-air cost. Metering duties, oxygen-sensitive products and hazardous fluids need separate review.
Does a dual-vessel system guarantee constant flow?
Alternating vessels can support continuous feeding and reduce transfer interruptions. Instantaneous outlet flow is not automatically constant. Valve transitions, air supply, pipeline resistance and receiver design must be evaluated for the required flow profile.
