The GUNT Pneumatic Transport Trainer demonstrates the movement of dispersed solids through pipelines using airflow. Solids such as peas or plastic granules are fed from a vibrating trough into an air stream via an interchangeable injector, where they are transported through a transparent vertical tube and collected in a receiving tank. By varying air velocity and solid mass flow, the unit allows observation of different transport modes, including dilute phase, strand and ball formation, and plug transport. Pressure and velocity can be precisely measured at multiple points for detailed analysis of the transport process.
