process – even to allow for programmable resin- conveying ‘recipes’ to be stored in the FLX-128 Plus – is found in a series of patented control and equipment innovations. These include: n Using a Conair LDP Series vacuum pump equipped with variable frequency drives. Unlike typical vacuum pumps, which are 100% on or off, LDP pumps with variable-speed drives can operate at the precise level of capacity and power con- sumption needed to maintain a specific material velocity in the system, which can result in substan- tial energy savings; n The Wave Conveying hardware, together with the FLX-128 Plus control, regulates material flow – fine tuning both the vacuum level and the influx of material from the material supply point to the conveying system; and, n A new type of conveying speed sensor – which measures material velocity, not air velocity – moni- tors the speed of material moving in the mixed- pulse and wave phases. It provides feedback, helping the system maintain correct material flows. Other benefits of Wave Conveying include: higher throughput (up to 2.4 times greater than dilute phase systems); better powder handling;


Conair says its Wave Conveying technology moves resin in compact slugs of material that move at much slower speeds


longer conveying distances — up to 1,000 ft horizontally and 250 ft vertically, compared to about 600 ft horizontally and 70 ft vertically for dilute-phase systems.
