Vertical air-lift
Vertical air-lift (or vertical lift pump) is a pneumatic conveyor designed for vertical transport and discharge of dry fluidizable powders into elevated silos or receivers. Typical materials conveyed by vertical air-lifts include alumina, cement, lime, sand, catalyst, etc..
A 4 m high vertical air-lift has been built in the Dept. of POSTEC for the purpose of testing and experimentation. The feed and the receiving tanks have a capacity of about 100 L and the diameter of the transport pipe is around 4 cm.
