- the air volume or the air pressure to be set differs depending on the type of the suction air source, and the mixing ratio changes if the supply amount of the material changes. Therefore, it is important to operate in a state where the air volume, the wind speed, and the mixing ratio are set in a required range.

For example, when the specific gravity of the pneumatic material is heavy, or when the transport amount of the pneumatic material is too large, the pipe resistance increases, the torque of the motor 12 increases and exceeds the torque threshold. Therefore, in order to reduce the pipe resistance, the frequency of conversion by the inverter 1 is lowered to reduce the material supply amount. Accordingly, the mixing ratio ⁇ can be reduced while maintaining the air volume or the wind speed to prevent the material density from becoming too high, and the material can be pneumatically transported with the piping resistance lowered. Moreover, blockage of the material in the piping can be prevented.

- the determination unit 57 determines that the physical quantity is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold
- the display unit 62 displays that fact in characters or outputs the sound. Thereby, even if the torque of the motor 12 becomes equal to or greater than the torque threshold, the state can be detected quickly. Further, when the torque of the motor 12 exceeds the allowable value, the operation of the material transport device may be stopped.
- the consumption calculation unit 58 calculates the consumption of material.
- the material consumption is, for example, processing capacity of the molding machine 9 and the like, and indicates how much material is consumed per unit time.
- the second control unit 53 controls the supply amount of the material by controlling the frequency converted by the inverter 1 in accordance with the consumption calculated by the consumption calculation unit 58.

That is, when the material is used in the molding machine 9 connected to the collector 6, the material level in the collector 6 is reduced, and the level of the material is detected by the lower level meter 8 (first detector). When the value reaches, a material supply start request signal is output. When the material is pneumatically transported and the material level reaches the detection position of the upper level meter 7 (second detection unit), a material supply stop request signal is output. If the time difference between the supply start time t1 and the supply stop time t2 is ⁇ t, and the material capacity between the level meters 7 and 8 of the collector 6 is Y, the material consumption can be calculated as Y / ⁇ t. it can.
