Cement Conveying

Mactenn Systems Ltd's cement conveying systems do not require powerful electric motors or large air supply compressors like traditional screw conveyors.

Their cement conveying systems are more compact than traditional models. This means retrofitting their cement conveyors to out-dated conventional machinery is easy and extremely economical.

Smelter Dust Conveying

Mactenn Systems Ltd has a range of smelter dust conveying systems. Their systems are not hindered by the larger bulk densities found in smelter dust.

Their smelter dust conveying systems are hard wearing and durable as smelter dust can be abrasive and cause wear on the pipes.

Mactenn Systems Ltd has a wide selection of smelter dust conveying systems, allowing their customers to find the perfect model for their application.

Ancillary Equipment

At Mactenn Systems our suppliers go through strict quality tests long before any equipment is considered to be used with our dense phase pneumatic conveying systems.

Parts such as pipe bends, level probes, bin filters, etc are fully tested from vendors who we have long standing relationships with.

It is this firm relationship with suppliers that we take confidence in. That is why a guarantee on a Mactenn Systems unit covers all the equipment involved, both ours and our suppliers.

Ancillary Equipment

Dense Phase Conveying

Dense Phase - Full Pipeline

The difference in pressure is higher
Material velocities are at their lowest
Material fills the pipeline

Dense Phase - Slug Flow

dense  phase dune flow
The difference in pressure is medium-high
Material velocities are low
Material forms dunes while being conveyed

Dense Phase - Bed Flow

The difference in pressure is medium
Material velocities are medium to high
The saltation velocity is achieved for some particles in the material which partially fluidises to convey above a bed of material moving slower

Lean Phase (Dilute Phase)

The difference in pressure is lower
Material velocity is highest
The saltation velocity for all the particles is achieved which causes the material as a whole to be conveyed within the gas stream

Dense Phase Conveying

Valves and Pressure Vessels

Allows a single pipe route to be used even in the cases of multiple reception points. In some cases, applications with two pipelines can be reconfigured so that for one segment there could be a single line shared. Directs material promptly with fully automated controls.

Switch Valves

With the inclusion of two Inflatek Valves or two pinch valves, an air-tight seal is created and the material is directed to remotely located reception points. Material delivery can be directed to more than one pipe route.  

Series Diverters

When there are several reception ports in a series of one another, special valves can be used to divert material either into a specified port or to by-pass it onto another port. Economically allows the use of one pipeline where before the only other option was to install multiple pipe.

End Diverters

Used at the termination point of a pipe line to direct the material into a silo or other reception point.  Unlike a standard pipe bend, the End Diverter has an abrasion resistant deflector plate which is accessible for simple maintenance.

Mactenn Systems General Material Handling

Name your material; Mactenn probably has a system in operation today transporting it. Whether your material nature is explosive, hazardous, hygroscopic, dense, fragile, or hot; we can present you with options. Even abrasive materials do not faze us simply because of how often we have pneumatically conveyed rough hard particles without wearing down pipe routes often surpassing 250 meters! Plus you will find your system operators will have the advantage of prompt responding controls that make it easy to conduct compound procedures.

The many different types of companies out there that we have assisted are simply too numerous to mention as well as the number of possible Mactenn systems we have equipped them with. Our conveying systems present efficiencies that are timeless to the ever evolving process needs.

Advanced Ash Conveying and Handling Systems from Mactenn

A versatile solution and lower maintenance demand than chain or screw conveyors, our advanced ash conveying systems offer dust free operations that can handle high temperatures. Dense phase conveyors need just a fraction of the head room that is required by dilute phase machinery.

Numerous customers have equipped their baghouses and electrostatic precipitators with Mactenn pneumatic conveying systems units to fulfill the need for transfers going to silos located at great distances. Our technology has answers to the problems of moving cohesive or sticky or hot ashes and dusts of all types. Even fluid bed combustors are fitted with our economical conveyors. All these options and yet everything is automated by a seemless control panel.

The MultiAshFlo®

The MultiAshFlo® from Mactenn, is able to transfer materials with temperatures as high as 350°C. Various types of ashes have been conveyed in all types of arrangements whether being fed by single or multiple outlets. It provides leak proof and spill free transfer of ash in the places where environmental standards are at the highest level.

Cement Conveying

Often our dense phase pneumatic technology replaces other methods of material transport such as screw pumps. Plants built over 20 years ago have to face the challenges of high maintenance while also meeting today's environmental standards. In our company history we know the position you, as a plant manager, are in. These changes are typically either expensive purchases of all new process equipment or retrofits to pre-existing systems. 

Mactenn Systems cement conveying equipment does not require large air supply compressors or powerful electric motors when compared to what is required from a screw conveyor. Plus, the compact size of our models make retrofitting out-dated conventional machinery an economic reality.
