A send tank is a pressure vessel used in pneumatic conveying systems to transfer dry bulk materials. It is filled through a top inlet, then pressurized with compressed air, and the material is discharged through a pipe to the destination. This method provides a dust-free, efficient, and cost-effective way to move powders, granules, and other solids over long distances. Send tanks are widely applied in cement, power, mining, food, and chemical industries.

As a professional send tank manufacturer, we supply both stainless steel and carbon steel types to satisfy different working conditions. Stainless steel tanks offer excellent corrosion resistance and meet sanitary standards for food and pharmaceutical use. Carbon steel tanks provide high strength and lower cost for general industrial applications like cement and sand. We use advanced welding machines and strict quality control to ensure every tank is safe and durable. Our factory produces reliable equipment with competitive send tank prices.

The main structure of a send tank includes a cylindrical shell, elliptical heads, an inlet valve, an outlet valve, a pressure gauge, a safety valve, and an automatic control system. The shell is formed from high-quality steel plates and welded by certified technicians. Every tank undergoes hydrostatic testing and X-ray inspection to guarantee its pressure-resisting capability. Interior surfaces can be polished, lined with ceramic, or coated with anti-wear material according to the conveyed substance. These features extend service life and reduce maintenance requirements.

A send tank works by using the pressure difference between the tank and the pipeline. First, material enters the tank from a silo or hopper until a level sensor activates. Then the inlet closes and compressed air is supplied to increase the pressure. Once the preset pressure is reached, the discharging valve opens and the material is pushed along the conveying line. The whole operation is automatically controlled by a PLC system, so the cycle can be repeated continuously. This enables stable and efficient conveying even over long distances.

Send tanks are applied in many bulk material handling processes. In cement plants, they convey cement, fly ash, and raw materials. In power stations, they transport limestone powder and desulfurization agents. The food industry uses stainless steel send tanks to move flour, starch, and sugar safely. Chemical plants use them for plastic granules and compound powders. Because the conveying system is completely sealed, it prevents leakage and pollution. Moreover, the flexible pipeline layout allows the tank to deliver material to multiple destinations, increasing production efficiency.

One of the main advantages of a send tank is its compact footprint and low energy consumption. Compared with belt conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems require less space and fewer mechanical parts. This reduces maintenance costs and downtime. The automated PLC control ensures accurate dosing and consistent flow rates. In addition, the sealed system prevents dust emission, making the operation safe and environmentally friendly. The tank can handle fine powders and granular materials without segregation. High efficiency and long service life make send tanks a popular choice for many industrial projects.

The price of a send tank mainly depends on its volume, working pressure, material grade, and configuration. A small carbon steel tank will be more affordable, while a large stainless steel tank with special linings costs more.
