The easy answer is YES, it can be done

To get to the right solution with respect to how much air volume and motive pressure you need, many more details about the specific dust need to be known ■

I agree.

I would be careful with the particale size distribtion - you will get different locations of drop out from the bagfilter due to the incomign dust and fall out....

Also..I do not know about your process, but the particle size distribution may vary upon start up or shutdown.

We had issues with a pressure pot system due to size range - very sandy caused blockage issues.

We operate a blower/valve system that works OK over the range...we designed for the worst case plus ensure re start after a crash (plus had back up nozzles for compressed air introductions)

Hence, be sure that any system design takes into account your particle size distribution over the your whole operation process.

As Mr. Hilbert and Mr. Morrish have said it can be done:

At first you stated that you want to replace the screw conveyor is that the only item or are you wishing to replace the entire system including the existing machinery?

Every elbow creates resistance and requires energy to overcome, the same applies to changes in elevations in rise and run designs requiring more energy and flow pressure to move the material to reduce gravities effects as my friends on the forum will tell you.

If the bends can be eliminated it would simplify the replacement systems design and allow you to use a pipeline pig to clean it- if not it still can be done.

Perhaps the down stream piping simply needs to be pigged to clear any build up? flexible pipeline pigs are available that have tow rings to pull them through the pipe.
