In the production and processing of protein powder, traditional mechanical conveying methods often face issues such as dust blasts, material damage, pipeline blockages, and cross-contamination. In particular, high value-added protein powders require extremely high hygiene levels and delivery stability. Existing solutions often struggle to balance efficiency and quality, leading to practical challenges such as high material loss, frequent equipment maintenance, and substandard cleanliness.

Material characteristics

Protein powder is a lightweight, ultrafine powder with small particle size and low density, easily generating static electricity and dust. It also features strong hygroscopicity, average fluidity, and sensitivity to temperature. During pneumatic conveying, materials are prone to temperature rise due to high-speed airflow friction, which affects protein activity. Therefore, system design must fully consider material suspension velocity, gas-solid ratio, pipe material, and sealing performance.

Product Introduction

The pneumatic protein powder conveying system is a customized conveying solution developed by Head Powder based on the physical properties and high hygiene standards of protein powder. The system uses compressed air or inert gas as its power source, and through sealed pipelines, achieves automated material conveying from feeding to storage, weighing, mixing, and packaging. Core equipment includes rotary feeding valves, Roots blowers, dust collectors, pneumatic sending tanks, and PLC intelligent control systems, which can be flexibly combined according to customers' site layout and capacity requirements.

Product advantages

To address the above customer pain points, this solution offers the following solutions: sealed pipeline transport to prevent dust leakage and support a clean workshop environment; Low-speed dense phase conveying technology reduces material damage rates and maintains the integrity of protein powder particles; The system uses sanitary-grade stainless steel and an easy-to-disassemble structure to meet CIP cleaning requirements; The intelligent control module monitors pipeline pressure and conveying flow in real time, providing early warnings of blockage risks and reducing downtime and maintenance time. At the same time, the modular design facilitates future production line expansion, improving overall energy-saving performance by more than 20% compared to traditional machinery.
