Traditional vs. PERMA/flo Piping: A Cost-Benefit Analysis for Abrasive Materials


Pneumatic conveying systems are essential for efficiently transporting bulk materials in various industries. However, when handling abrasive materials like sand, cement, or plastic pellets, traditional piping systems can suffer from rapid wear and tear, leading to costly downtime, maintenance, and replacements. This is where Delta Ducon's innovative PERMA/flo piping system shines, offering a durable and cost-effective solution.   


The Problem with Traditional Piping

Traditional steel piping in pneumatic conveying systems is susceptible to abrasion from abrasive materials. This leads to:   


  • Reduced lifespan:  The constant friction causes thinning of the pipe walls, leading to premature failure and leaks.

  • Increased maintenance: Frequent repairs and replacements are necessary, resulting in higher maintenance costs and production downtime.

  • Product contamination:  Wear can generate metal particles that contaminate the conveyed material, compromising product quality.

  • Energy inefficiency:  As the pipe wears, its inner surface becomes rough, increasing friction and requiring more energy to convey materials.

Introducing Delta Ducon's PERMA/flo Piping

Delta Ducon's PERMA/flo piping system is specifically engineered to withstand the challenges of abrasive materials. It offers:   


  • Superior Abrasion Resistance:  PERMA/flo pipes are manufactured from specialized materials with exceptional abrasion resistance, significantly extending their lifespan compared to traditional steel pipes.

  • Reduced Maintenance:  The increased durability minimizes the need for repairs and replacements, resulting in lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime.

  • Improved Product Quality:  The smooth inner surface of PERMA/flo pipes prevents material buildup and minimizes the risk of contamination.

  • Enhanced Energy Efficiency:  The smooth bore reduces friction, leading to lower energy consumption and operating costs.


Cost-Benefit Analysis

While the initial investment in PERMA/flo piping may be higher than traditional steel piping, the long-term cost benefits are significant:

  • Lower lifecycle costs:  Due to its extended lifespan and reduced maintenance needs, PERMA/flo piping offers lower overall lifecycle costs compared to traditional systems.

  • Reduced downtime:  Minimized repairs and replacements translate to less downtime and increased productivity, ultimately boosting your bottom line.

  • Improved product quality:  Preventing contamination safeguards your product quality and reduces potential losses associated with compromised materials.

  • Energy savings:  Lower energy consumption contributes to cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint.
