The study is aimed at developing and improving mechatronic systems for pneumatic transportation of bulk food products. The relevance of this topic is due to the ever-increasing requirements for the efficiency and accuracy of such systems in modern production processes. Existing models of pneumatic conveying often do not take into account the complex physical processes that occur during the movement of particles in a compressed air stream, such as particle migration, hydrodynamic and electrical interactions. This leads to inaccuracies in calculations and, as a result, to a decrease in the efficiency and reliability of systems. To solve this problem, we developed an experimental mechatronic module that allows us to study the process of pneumatic transportation in detail.
