Dense phase conveying is used when material damage, line wear, or unstable flow cannot be tolerated. High velocity solves throughput problems but creates others. This applications brochure explains how MD Pneumatics positive displacement blowers support low‑velocity, pressure‑controlled conveying for fragile, abrasive, and contamination‑sensitive bulk materials.
If your system struggles with degradation, dusting, or frequent maintenance, dense phase conveying is often the corrective step.

This brochure focuses on how blower selection affects dense phase performance. It shows how pressure stability, airflow control, and blower configuration influence material integrity, system reliability, and operating cost.
You will see:
Dense Phase Conveying
Dense phase conveying moves bulk material at low velocity using controlled pressure. The goal is consistency, not speed.
Dense phase is commonly used when:
Benefits include reduced particle damage, lower line wear, and stable flow across the system.
Semi‑Dense Phase Conveying
Semi‑dense phase operates at higher velocity than dense phase but below dilute levels. It balances transfer rate with reduced degradation and wear.
Dilute Phase Conveying
Dilute phase uses high velocity air for continuous transfer. It fits applications where throughput matters more than material preservation.
For dense phase systems, semi‑dense and dilute modes provide context, not the design target.
The brochure highlights dense phase use across industries where material control drives system design:
In each case, dense phase reduces damage, wear, and variability compared to high‑velocity conveying.
The brochure outlines several blower families used in dense phase conveying, each serving a different system need.
CP Series
Designed for flexibility and maintenance access. Field‑convertible configurations support pressure‑controlled conveying and system changes over time. Options include bi‑lobe or tri‑lobe rotors, grease or splash lubrication, and pressures up to 15 PSI.
Equalizer RM and DF
Compact blowers with convertible flow orientation. These models fit dense phase systems where space is limited or retrofit compatibility matters. Precision gearing supports quieter, stable operation.
Qx Series
Used where dense phase systems must meet sound limits without sacrificing pressure capability. Tri‑lobe rotors reduce pulsation while maintaining flow stability.
PD Plus Series
Applied in the most demanding dense phase environments. Suitable for abrasive materials, corrosive or flammable gases, and steam service. Supports high pressure and wide flow ranges with advanced sealing options.
Dense phase systems depend on configuration. The brochure details options that allow blowers to match process conditions instead of forcing compromise.
Available options include:
These choices directly affect pressure control, wear rate, and service life in dense phase operation.
MD Pneumatics offers factory‑assembled blower packages that support dense phase systems from startup through operation. Options range from standardized units to engineered‑to‑order packages with controls, testing, and material upgrades.
Packaged systems reduce installation risk and simplify integration into complex conveying lines.
Dense phase conveying places consistent load on system components. The brochure emphasizes the role of genuine MD Pneumatics replacement parts in maintaining pressure stability, airflow accuracy, and mechanical alignment.
Using matched parts reduces unplanned downtime and helps dense phase systems operate within design limits over time.

Dense phase works well for fragile, abrasive, dusty, or contamination‑sensitive materials such as powders, pellets, ash, chemicals, food ingredients, and catalysts.
