A rubber and plastic company in Binzhou, Shandong, used a large amount of ultrafine powder raw materials due to production process requirements. During production, issues such as agglomeration, bridging, and blockages frequently occur during powder conveying, seriously affecting production efficiency and product quality. The company urgently needed a stable and reliable anti-agglomeration conveyor system to facilitate production continuity and product consistency.

Customer pain points

Ultrafine powders have small particle size and large specific surface area, making them highly susceptible to agglomeration during transport due to static electricity, moisture, or mechanical extrusion. The company's original conveying equipment lacked targeted anti-agglomeration design, resulting in frequent pipeline blockages, time-consuming and labor-intensive downtime for cleaning, and a high powder loss rate. Additionally, unstable conveying flow affects the accuracy of subsequent mixing ratios, causing quality fluctuations between finished product batches.

Solution

Head Powder designed and implemented a dedicated anti-agglomeration conveying engineering for rubber-plastic ultrafine powder based on the specific working conditions of this project. The solution uses low-velocity pneumatic conveying, special coating treatment on the inner wall, pulse back-blow anti-blocking device, and intelligent flow control system to suppress powder agglomeration from source to end. After the system was put into operation, conveying efficiency improved, clogging rates dropped to nearly zero, powder flow remained stable, and the company achieved continuous and automated production.

Main features

• Systematic anti-agglomeration design: Customizing conveying methods and supporting devices based on material characteristics to improve bridging and wall adhesion issues of ultrafine powder.
• Sealed and leak-free: fully enclosed pipeline transport reduces dust leakage, improves workshop environment, and meets environmental protection requirements.
• Intelligent control for more accurate feeding: real-time monitoring of conveying parameters and automatic adjustment, supporting stable flow and improving mixing accuracy.
• Long-distance stable conveying: By optimizing the gas source and pipeline paths, reliable long-distance, multi-node delivery is achieved.
