They asked US Systems to design and manufacture a large version of a small ultra-portable diesel-driven system they already own that was built by USS decades ago. US Systems listened to the customer and appreciated their positive experience with the system and explored alternative solutions. Although US Systems builds diesel driven systems, the energy costs and safety issues involved in the constant refueling of a diesel-driven system made it an undesirable solution in this case, where the solution needed to be portable but not ‘ultraportable’
US Systems’ #1 goal is to carefully consider and balance our customers wants and needs. Every project is unique and we scrutinize everything within the scope of the project. We knew that our system would achieve the reliability and material transfer rate the client required. The unique problem there was twofold: Design a system to keep energy costs down that could be ported elsewhere if needed.
"We came up with a cost-effective solution to help them save money and retain a valuable asset if their operations happen to move to another location.” After careful consideration of the unique design requirements, US Systems proposed a custom-engineered total system solution: An electric-powered, skid-mounted USS Venturi 30 pneumatic conveyor system including blower package and controls.
Careful calculations by US Systems engineers’ met and exceeded the required transfer rate. Forty years of experience in pneumatic conveyor design and manufacturing ensured reliable operation. Considerate and thoughtful engineering led to an efficient electric-powered skid-mounted design for portability. Other design requirements resulted in the inclusion of NEMA 4 rainproof control panels that allow the operator the flexibility to run the conveyor in either Automatic or Manual modes. USS Service Startup Assistance and Operator Training by a qualified startup technician got the material moving in a hurry.
