Reply With QuoteCan't it be filtered before it goes through the ducts? maybe even something like a wet collector?
during a manufacturing process, hot air flows through a duct carrying fine particles of a glutinous substance. With time, those particles stick to the walls of the duct and create a thick layer on them. This layer reduces the cross-section area of the duct, changing the velocity of the flow. To remove this layer, the flow has to be stopped.
Any ideas of how to remove the layer without having to stop the flow? Or to prevent the buildup of the layer?

glutinous = sticky?Originally Posted by khalednasr
Are there any materials which the substance does not stick to? If so see if it is possible to coat the ducting with this material (e.g. PTFE).
Is this duct be utilized to transport a material or is it a vent?
Thank you all for your answers
We've tried filtering and it was unfortunately not very effective.
That might works. thanks
The duct transports the material.
I think providing support under the heavy points is better option in this situation and above members had good thinking about the topic which is on the front of our eyes. According to my opinion it's duct transport material.
