"Pneumatic Conveying" by Ernest George Phillips is a technical publication written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the principles, methods, and various applications of pneumatic conveyance, specifically focusing on the transportation and elevation of heavy solid materials. It serves as a resource for engineers, works managers, and students interested in material handling technologies. The opening of the text introduces the concept of pneumatic conveying, emphasizing its growing importance in industries looking to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs. Phillips discusses the historical context and development of pneumatic systems, explaining how they evolved from earlier methods of mechanical transportation to current applications. The author lays out the advantages of using pneumatic systems over traditional mechanical conveyors, such as reduced labor, flexibility, and the minimized impact of fine dust on workers. His firsthand experience with pneumatic installations enhances the authority of the discussion, as he references successful applications in handling various materials, from grains to coal.
