Materials
United States Systems, Inc. has conveyed thousands of materials since its founding in 1969. Form follows function in our design process and it all flows from the specific properties of the materials we’re handling. You can trust in our vast experience to build you ‘Uncommonly Good’ industrial equipment to handle your material.
Whether you need to bag it, sift it, filter it, fill it, pack it, weigh it, roll it, convey it, vacuum it, or blow it, we’ve got you covered!
Material Characteristics
Pneumatic Conveying system design is highly dependent on the type of material conveyed because every material has different properties that interact with the components of the system and the conveying air in a myriad of different ways.
Bulk Materials are classified according to particle size, flow characteristics, hardness, and more.
Particle Size Classification:
- Lumpy or Irregular
- Granular
- Fine
- Very Fine
Material Characteristics:
- Nonabrasive
- Abrasive, slightly

- Abrasive, highly
- Hydroscopic
- Deliquescent
- Combustible
- Explosive
- pH (acid)
- pH (alkaline)
- Toxic
- Fragile
- Corrosive
- Thermoplastic
- Moisture Content
- Temperature
- Bulk Density
- Angle of Repose
