A company in Wuhu, Anhui, faced practical problems during lime powder production, including discontinuous dosing, severe on-site dust pollution, insufficient measurement accuracy, and heavy manual operation. To address these long-standing challenges, Head Powder designed and delivered a continuous lime powder dosing and conveying system to address the stability and environmental challenges of materials during conveying and dosing.

Case Background

This user is a chemical raw material processing company. The original lime powder dosing used an intermittent manual discharge method, which faced the following pain points: large fluctuations in dosing volume, material prone to arching and blockages, and severe dust flying during transportation, which not only affected product quality stability but also increased environmental and occupational health risks on site. Enterprises urgently need a dosing and conveying solution capable of continuous, sealed, and automated operation.

Customer pain points

1. Discontinuous dosing: Traditional intermittent operations cause supply fluctuations on the production line, affecting the stability of subsequent processes;
2. Dust pollution: The open dosing and conveying process generates large amounts of dust, increasing environmental management costs and occupational exposure risks;
3. Inaccurate measurement: Large measurement deviations from manual or simple equipment cannot meet the requirements for refined batching;
4. High labor intensity: Frequent manual handling and dumping require a lot of personnel and low efficiency.

Product advantages

Based on on-site conditions and material characteristics, Head Powder customized a continuous dosing and conveying system for this project. The main advantages include:
1. Continuous and stable feeding: Combines pneumatic conveying with mechanical feeding to achieve 24-hour continuous and uniform dosing, eliminating feeding fluctuations;
2. Fully enclosed design: sealed throughout the entire process from the feed inlet to the dosing point, combined with dust removal devices, reducing dust emissions to a low level and meeting environmental compliance requirements;
3. Relatively accurate metering control: Equipped with an online weighing and frequency conversion adjustment module, dosing accuracy can reach ±1%, helping to stabilize batching quality;
4. Automated operation: Integrated PLC control system supports remote monitoring and parameter setting, reducing manual intervention and enhancing on-site safety.

The system is already operating normally on site in Wuhu, Anhui, helping the customer achieve continuous and intelligent transformation of the dosing process, thereby reducing operating costs and environmental pressure.
