Smart Air Injection (SAI) is a customized package unit with many varied applications. The innovative combination of food waste progressive cavity pump and compressed air conveying results in a low-pressure level in the conveying pipeline. This results in an extended service life and reduced investment and operating costs.
In the food industry, SAI conveys hop and malt spent grains through the use of controlled, compressed air pulses.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT Savings of up to 75% in energy due to a reduction of compressed air consumption by up to 90% compared to conventional conveying solutions
INCREASED PROCESS EFFICIENCY Reduced mash-out times (up to 60%) due to high flexibility and efficiency for varying spent grain's moisture-content
INCREASED SERVICE LIFE Reduced risk to pipework wear due to pneumatic transport at moderate speed, saving costs for repair and replacement
MAINTAIN IN PLACE Easy Maintenance Concept: Maintenance-in-Place possible - Smart Conveying Technology for rotor/stator replacement with minimal space requirements in less than one hour
FOR LONG DISTANCES AND HEIGHT DIFFERENCES Long transport distances of up to 1,000 meters and easily overcomes changes in direction and differences in height
EASY TO CONTROL Control and monitoring of all functions via the SAI controller and easy integration into all automation and control systems
Technologies, Accessories and Options
Technology
Options
Extension hopper
Connected to the upstream dewatering machine. Controls the pump speed with a level sensor.
Smart conveying technology
For rapid replacement of the rotor and stator. Maintenance downtime reduced by up to 85%.
Air injection
Compressed air is pulsed into the pipeline to convey the pre-compacted sludge plug.
Récepteur d'air
Pour stocker et libérer l'air comprimé du compresseur en amont.
Overpressure Protection
The pressure gauge switches off the pump as soon as a pre-set pressure is exceeded or not reached and protects the pump from increased wear and tear or piping damage.
Smart Rotor and Smart Stator
The steel rotor, together with the stator made of an elastomer, forms sealed chambers. The rotation of the rotor conveys the medium through the pump.
System protection
Hopper pump and SAI system are fully protected with safety functions such as dry running and overpressure
BT Pump
Large rectangular hopper pump, screw conveyor and a compression zone, it effortlessly conveys highly viscous products with low flowability.
