In the plastic powder processing industry, long-distance transportation has always been a key factor affecting production efficiency and cost. With its deep technical expertise, Head Powder successfully deployed a long-distance silo-pump conveying project for a plastic powder company in Deyang, Sichuan, solving various difficulties in the material transportation process. Below is a brief introduction to this project.

Case Summary

The long-distance transportation project for the plastic powder silo pump undertaken by Sichuan Deyang mainly serves a company specializing in the production and processing of plastic powder. This project required the powder to be stably and efficiently transported from the storage silo to processing areas hundreds of meters away, with long conveying distances and complex working conditions, which placed high demands on equipment sealing, energy consumption, and ease of maintenance. Based on on-site conditions, Head Powder has customized a silo-pump pneumatic conveying system, achieving continuous, sealed material delivery. Since production began, its operation has been stable, earning full recognition from customers.

Customer pain points

Before the project began, the client faced several challenging issues:

• Conveying distance limitations:Traditional mechanical conveying methods cannot meet the needs of cross-regional conveying over hundreds of meters, and the equipment occupies large space and has high maintenance costs.
• The contradiction between energy consumption and efficiency:The original pneumatic conveying system consumed high energy, and frequent pipeline blockages led to production interruptions, severely affecting overall efficiency.
• Dust Pollution Risk:During transportation, powder easily generates dust, which not only affects the workshop environment but also brings safety hazards and environmental compliance pressures.
• Equipment is prone to wear:Plastic powders are generally abrasive, conventional equipment wears out quickly, and spare parts are frequently replaced, increasing operating costs.

Product advantages

To address these pain points, the long-distance storage pump conveying solution provided by Head Powder has the following main features:

• Long-distance stable conveying:By adopting optimized pneumatic conveying parameters and a silo pump structure, combined with a reasonable pipeline layout, it helps powder maintain stable flow over distances of several hundred meters, without pipe blockage or layering.
• Low energy consumption design:Through intelligent control algorithms, air source pressure and conveying speed are adjusted more accurately, reducing unit energy consumption while conducing the amount conveyed, saving over 20% compared to traditional systems.
• Fully sealed, leak-free:The system operates in a fully enclosed system from feed to discharge, combined with an efficient dust removal device to achieve dust-free operations, meet environmental protection requirements, and improve the workshop environment.
• Wear-resistant and pressure-resistant components:Key components use relatively high strength wear-resistant materials. The silo pump body and pipelines undergo special treatment to significantly extend service life and reduce downtime and maintenance time.

Project Outcomes

Since the system was put into operation, the customer's production continuity has improved, conveying efficiency has increased by more than 30%, energy costs have dropped significantly, and workshop dust concentrations have dropped below safety standards. The successful implementation of this project once again validates Head Powder's technological maturity and reliability in the long-distance transportation of plastic powders.
