When efficiency, reliability, and safety matter most, pneumatic conveying offers a clear advantage.

Compared with mechanical conveying systems, pneumatic conveying offers:

🔹 Sealed and dust-tight: ensuring a cleaner, safer working environment.
🔹 Flexible in layout: easily routed around existing equipment and structures.
🔹 Low-maintenance: fewer moving parts mean less downtime and reduced
operating costs.
🔹 Process-safe: gentle handling protects both material quality and equipment longevity.

At Kopar, we design and deliver pneumatic conveying systems that keep your process running with minimal interruption. Whether it’s pressure injection or dome valve technology, our solutions are built for long lifecycles and demanding industrial environments.

Our first time at FinnMateria is coming, and we're excited! 🎉

FinnMateria is the leading trade fair for the mining industry and industrial circular economy in the Nordic countries.

Wherever bulk materials move, handling matters. Hot, abrasive and otherwise demanding materials require solutions designed for the job.

At FinnMateria, you’ll get to see pneumatic conveying in action. We’re bringing a miniature pneumatic conveying system to our stand, with transparent piping that lets you see how the material moves through the system.

📅 4–5 November 2026
📍 Paviljonki, Jyväskylä

Come and meet us at Stand B-260. See you in Jyväskylä!

Carbon, silica and other additives injected precisely into molten steel.

In steelmaking, getting powdered materials into the melt requires precision, control and the right injection technology.

Kopar’s pressure injection system combines high conveying pressure with an application-specific injection lance to feed materials accurately and reliably into molten metal.

Typical applications include top injection for ladle treatment and injection through the roof of an electric arc furnace for re-carburization, deoxidation and other adjustments to melt chemistry.

The complete system brings together the pressure vessel, weighing equipment, material feeding and application-specific control automation. The injection lance can also be operated remotely from a safe distance.

Dust does not rise evenly along a conveyor. It comes from a few specific points: loading, transfer, and discharge.

That is what makes targeted extraction work. Enclose those points, connect them to extraction, and the dust is captured where it is created instead of settling across the plant.

Kopar builds the whole chain. Several extraction points are directed into a single EMJET filter. The filter cleans the escaping air, typically to below 5 mg/Nm³, and the collected dust gathers in one place. From there a pressure conveyor moves it onwards to wherever it is wanted, back into the process, into a silo, or out to loading.

Belt conveyors are the usual case, since the material runs in the open. The same arrangement can be fitted to other mechanical conveyors as well, a drag chain conveyor among them.

EMJET filters come in many sizes, both standard and custom-built, so this works on installations that already exist as well as on new ones.

In a dome valve, wear has to land somewhere. The design decides where.

The dome is the part that moves. It swings clear of the opening so material passes through the full bore, then rotates back to close. The seal stays where it is, in the valve body.

Once the dome is fully closed, compressed air inflates the seal against it. That does two things. It makes the closure tight, and it keeps material out of the gap where it would otherwise reach the dome and wear it. Before the valve opens again, the seal deflates, and only then does the dome rotate.

Both parts can be replaced. But renewing the seal is faster and cheaper than renewing the dome, which is what makes the arrangement worth having. The component protecting the expensive part is the one that is simple to change.

Wear in abrasive material is not avoidable. Where it lands is a design decision.

A valve that keeps blocking and leaking looks like a maintenance problem. Sometimes it is a selection problem.

At a solid fuel power plant in Northern Europe, the pneumatic ash conveying system used plate slide gate valves as feed valves. They blocked and they leaked repeatedly. Ash is fine, dry and abrasive, and a sliding plate must close across a flat seat, which is where that kind of material collects.

The plant did not rebuild the system. It changed the valves.

Kopar delivered 54 dome valves, 18 of them K100T and 36 K200T, designed to be compatible with the existing installation and supplied with connection boxes made for the site. The conveyors, the pipework and the layout stayed as they were.

That was in 2015. The valves are still in service, and the customer's assessment after more than ten years is short: tight, reliable, and easy to maintain.

Worth remembering when a single component keeps causing trouble. The fix is not always a project.

Most of the support a supplier gives comes after the order. The more useful part comes before it.

If you are working out whether something fits, what it weighs, or where the space reservations go, you should not have to wait for a quotation to find out. A few things you can do right now.

Download our 3D models and drop them into your layout, so space reservations stop being guesswork.

Configure a dome valve or a screw conveyor yourself and see the price, without a sales conversation first.

Send us your material for testing at our pilot plant. Flow behaviour, particle size distribution, and conveying parameters are measured using your actual material rather than estimated from a similar material. A day of testing here often saves months of adjusting on site.

Or simply call one of our engineers and describe the problem. We do not really have off-the-shelf solutions in the portfolio, so the conversation tends to start with your process rather than our product list.

None of this needs to be a project yet. It just makes the project easier when it becomes one.

In most plants, escaping dust is a housekeeping and emissions problem. In a side-stream plant, it is also a lost product.

Circular economy projects work with the fine end of the material, exactly the fractions that want to become airborne the moment they are conveyed, filled or discharged.

At that point, filtration becomes more than just an environmental device. Kopar's EMJET filters clean the escaping air, typically to below 5 mg/Nm³. Short pulses of compressed air clean the bags automatically, and the dust that comes off falls back into the process instead of out of it.

Bag material, insulation and trace heating are matched to your material and process conditions, and the filters come in many sizes, both standard and custom-built, so they fit existing installations as well as new ones.

Recovering a side stream is only worth the investment if the material ends up where you intended.

The real question about a wear part is not whether it will wear. It is what happens to your plant when it does.

Dome valves sit in the toughest spots of a pneumatic conveying system: abrasive material, pressure, heat, and thousands of cycles. The wear is not due to a design flaw. It is the result of the operating environment.

So, we designed around the downtime instead. A Kopar dome valve can be changed within an hour, and replacing the inflatable seal is straightforward work rather than a job you plan a shutdown around. Air and electricity inputs are centralised, which keeps installation and replacement simple. Wear parts are replaceable instead of integral, so a worn valve is a serviceable valve.

That changes what a wear part means for you. Instead of a component that eventually forces a large-scale shutdown, it becomes something handled inside a normal maintenance window, or a short one.

Equipment does not need the same thing at every stage of its life. First inspections and audits. Then planned services and spare parts. Later, refurbishment or modernisation instead of replacement.

We cover all of it on planned shutdowns and at short notice when the schedule changes.
