A masterbatch manufacturer in Yancheng, Jiangsu faces dual challenges in both efficiency and environmental protection in the powder raw material feeding process. Head Powder customized a sealed feeding and conveying system for them, achieving fully enclosed automated flow from raw materials to the production line, thereby improving the cleanliness of the production environment and operational efficiency.

Customer pain points

The company's original feeding method relied on manual unpacking and dumping, leading to three prominent problems: First, severe powder dust pollution, which not only pollutes the workshop environment but also threatens the respiratory health of operators; Second, low manual operation efficiency, with each batch taking a long time to feed, restricting capacity release; Third, materials are spilled and wasted during the opening stage, increasing production costs and cleaning burdens.

Solutions and product advantages

To address these pain points, Head Powder has developed a sealed masterbatch powder feeding and conveying system. The system adopts a fully enclosed pipeline design, isolating it from the outside world throughout the entire process from unpacking and feeding to transportation, effectively suppressing dust leakage. It is also equipped with an automatic metering and control system, allowing workers to complete quantitative feeding by setting parameters, reducing the frequency of manual intervention. The conveying process is smooth and accurate, with material loss rates kept at a low level, helping the company achieve the dual goals of cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and environmental improvement.

Brief overview of the system workflow

Raw material bags enter the buffer silo via the unpacking station and are pneumatically conveyed to the production line workstation under either negative or positive pressure. Dust removal interfaces are installed at each stage to help prevent dust leakage. The complete system can be integrated with existing enterprise DCS or PLCs to enable remote monitoring and data recording.
