Pneumatic Conveying Systems Market is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period 2019-2025. Pneumatic conveying systems are utilized for conveying powders, granules and dry bulky materials in several industries, such as pharmaceutical, food & beverage and chemical. These materials are transferred with an enclosed vertical or horizontal conveying line. These systems are often a more economical and practical method of transporting materials from one point to another as compared to conventional mechanical systems, such as drag conveyors, screw conveyors, belt conveyors and other methods. Key benefits of using pneumatic conveying systems include flexibility in terms of expansion and rerouting and economical to install and operate, as compared to mechanical systems. However, it has some disadvantages, such as the risk of becoming clogged, high energy costs and a high level of wear.
The crucial factors leading to an increase in the growth of the market include significant growth in the pharmaceutical industry and a rising focus on worker’s health and safety. For instance, the critical issues about both respirable crystalline silica and combustible dust have been increasing at the workplace. This increases the need to focus on the safety of workers and industry sites where silica and dust are generated. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) plays a key role for preparing and enforcing rules for these materials. OSHA states that when worker inhales crystalline silica particles, there is an increased risk of developing severe and deadly silica-related diseases, such as lung cancer, kidney disease and COPD. According to OSHA, in the US, nearly 2.2 million people are exposed to silica at work. Of these, a large number of this workforce, nearly 1.85 million are in the construction industry.
Hence, OSHA has issued two standards to protect workers from exposure to respirable crystalline silica. The standards are aimed one for the construction industry and other for maritime and general industry. Such standards enable to increase adoption of pneumatic conveying systems as these are totally enclosed and the materials transfer through pipelines. Thus, it offers little or no exposure to plants and workers from silica dust during conveying materials. In addition, well-designed pneumatic conveying systems also comprise dust collection equipment which supports filtration of silica dust from the motive air, which in turn, enabling air to be released safely back in the atmosphere.
The global pneumatic conveying systems market is segmented on the basis of type and end-user. Based on the type, the market is further classified into dilute-phase, dense-phase and air-activated gravity systems. Dilute phase conveying is the most often used conveying methods to transfer granules or powders in an easy and cost-effective manner. In addition, it is also used to transfer other materials, such as specialty chemicals, compounds and resins and flour products. The use of pressure and vacuum conveying options enables material handling from several source points and distribute to several destinations. It supports flexible pipe routings (turns, vertical, horizontal) suitable for retrofit and new installations. Moreover, based on end-user, the market is further segmented into pharmaceutical, food & beverage, chemical, manufacturing, construction, oil & gas and others.
Geographically, the market is further classified into four major regions, such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and RoW. North America pneumatic conveying systems market has been primarily driven by stringent government regulations on workers safety. Moreover, Asia-Pacific is showing rapid growth in the market due to the rise in pharmaceutical production and rapid industrialization in the region. Some companies that are working in the market comprise Flexicon Corp., AZO GmbH + Co. KG, Pneu Powders Systems Group, Gericke AG, Atlas Copco AB and Schenck Process Holding GmbH. These companies are adopting various strategies, such as merger and acquisitions, geographical expansion, product launches and partnership and collaboration to expand market share and gain competitive advantage. For instance, in January 2019, Gericke USA, Inc. (a part of Gericke AG) introduced Pulse-Flow PTA dense phase pneumatic conveying system. The system directs the nitrogen or air into the pipeline or pressure vessel in regular, timed pulses. It forms the dry material into wavelike, separate and pulsed slags. The system is ideal to convey free-flowing, fragile and cohesive powders, coarse-grained and granulates products.
