Claudius Peters Components
Since its founding in 1906, Claudius Peters has become one of the world's most respected engineering houses and an innovative world leader.
Its German engineering excellence continues to set benchmarks for the design, manufacture and commissioning of materials handling and processing systems for the gypsum, cement, coal, alumina and bulk-handling industries.
As one of the world’s leading names in the supply of systems and equipment for the pneumatic transport of dry materials in large quantities, you would expect us to know a thing or two about innovation, and you would be right. For example, take the legendary Claudius Peters ‘X-pump’ and the ‘aeroslide’ devices, all of which have revolutionized pneumatic conveying.
The Claudius Peters X-Pump is a high-speed screw feeder which is installed as feeding unit in front of a pneumatic conveying pipeline. This pneumatic conveying system can be designed as conventional pneumatic pipeline system or as Claudius Peters FLUIDCON pipeline system.
The task of the X-pump is to feed a defined solids mass flow into the conveying gas flow against the overpressure in the conveyor pipe, while at the same time sealing the system overpressure against the surrounding or the upstream sections of the plant to keep the gas leakage through the feeder as low as possible.This sealing is realized by forming a plug of bulk solids of defined length at the end of the screw.
Conveying pressures up to approx. 2.5 bar overpressure, in special cases even higher, as well as conveying distances of up to approx. 1000 m and throughput capacities of up to approx. 400 t/h are achieved. It is possible to convey pulverized bulk solids as well as coarser materials with grain sizes up to approx. 10 mm. The X-Pump can be used as a feeder for dense-phase as well as for lean-phase conveyance.
The Claudius Peters FLUIDCON system offers the advantages of pneumatic conveying with considerably lower energy requirement owing to it’s unique aeroslide transportation principle within the transport pipe. Additionally, it provides a dense phase system with increased bulk material load. Depending on the transport pipe routing, the FLUIDCON system can substantially reduce power consumption. and be used to convey all fine bulk solids which can be fluidized with low air velocities expanding homogeneously during the process.
The Claudius Peters Two-Way Valve is installed in pneumatic conveying pipelines for alternative feeding of two material conveying routes. The most striking feature of the two-way valve is its compact design. The drive is flanged directly to the shaft which allows for a most precise positioning of the valve disk. The Claudius Peters Two-Way Valve is designed for non-explosive and explosive bulk materials.
With more than 3,000 silo systems sold worldwide, Claudius Peters is a major contributor to the current international standards for silo design. In addition, the Claudius Peters Technikum (Technical Center) is a state-of-the-art testing and research facility, where the analysis of bulk solids determines the design of Claudius Peters equipment and processes…
The Claudius Peters Flow Control Gate is used wherever bulk solids have to be discharged from silos and bins, in a metered and controlled manner.
Especially in the cement and building materials industry Claudius Peters Flow Control Gates have been used successfully for many years for various applications as shutoff or dosing aggregate.
Claudius Peters Multi-Flow Element portfolio consists various elements like two way gate, diverter, splitter, etc. Due to the modular design an integration in the Claudius Peters Aeroslide System is possible.
Efficient field proven solutions gained from many years of experience are the basis for the Claudius Peters Aeroslide-Multi-Elements. For example 25 years experience gained with the Claudius Peters Flow Control Gate have been utilized in the design and development of the Claudius Peters Multi-Element Two-Way Gate.
The Claudius Peters Two-Way Gate is installed in aeroslide systems to guide and control the mass flow.
The Two-Way Gate consists of a cylindrical housing.
Sealing of one outlet each is carried out by an adjustable gate. By turning the drive shaft, the gate shifts from one material outlet to the other. A flexible sealing ensures that the outlet is sealed dust-tight.
The Claudius Peters rotary gate is installed in vertical falling routes of pneumatic conveying systems to guide and control the mass flow.
The rotary gate consists of a cylindrical housing. Sealing of one outlet each is carried out by an adjustable gate. By turning the drive shaft, the gate shifts from one material outlet to the other. A flexible sealing, which is pressed against the housing wall by a compression spring, provides a dust-tight sealing of the locked outlet.
