The benefits of four different types of conveyors - flexible screw, aero-mechanical, vacuum and pneumatic are discussed for conveying a wide variety of dry bulk solids and ingredients in the food, chemical, mineral, ceramic, pharmaceutical, plastics, rubber, water and many other industries. In selecting a conveyor, it is important that the manufacturer shares as much information with the supplier at the outset as possible to avoid the risk of any difficulties later.
