A chemical company is building a new chemical additives production line in Lishui, Zhejiang, and needs to achieve automated feeding and sealed conveying of various powder additives from raw material silos to production stations. This project involves switching between various additive types, relatively accurate measurement, and dust control requirements, making it a typical case of environmental protection and efficiency upgrades in the industry.

Customer pain points

The original feeding process relied on manual unpacking, weighing, and dumping, resulting in the following issues:

• Severe dust leakage affects the workshop environment and employee health;
• Large errors in manual weighing lead to unstable additive formulation ratios, affecting product quality; li>
• Switching between multiple products takes a long time and is difficult to clean, affecting overall production capacity;
• Manual handling is labor-intensive and easily creates safety hazards.

Product advantages

To address these pain points, a company (Head Powder) deployed a fully automated feeding and conveying system for them, providing the following solutions:

• Uses sealed pneumatic conveying technology, ensuring dust-free operations throughout the process from unpacking to feeding, meeting environmental protection requirements;
• Equipped with a high-precision weighing module and automatic metering system, it enables relatively accurate control of the mixing ratio of various additives; li>
• Designed with multi-point switching valves and automatic cleaning functions, supporting rapid material changes and reducing downtime;
• Integrated PLC control system allows remote monitoring of feeding progress and equipment status, reducing manual intervention.

After the system was put into operation, workshop dust concentration dropped by more than 90%, batching accuracy improved to ±0.5%, material change time shortened by 70%, and both capacity and safety were significantly enhanced.
