In the field of rubber and plastic powder processing, the precise conveying and automated management of multi-component raw materials has always been a key focus of the industry. Drawing on years of material handling experience, Head Powder has tailored a multi-component automatic rubber and plastic powder conveying project for a rubber and plastic company in Leshan, Sichuan, helping the customer achieve efficient, stable, and intelligent production processes.

Project Background and Client Pain Points

This customer mainly produces rubber and plastic products, and the production process requires the simultaneous use of various powders (such as calcium carbonate, talc powder, carbon black, etc.). The original conveying method relied on manual weighing and handling, resulting in the following obvious shortcomings:

• Low manual operation efficiency and large batching errors affect the consistency of finished product quality.
• Powder materials are prone to dust generation during transportation, which can affect the environment and employee health.
• Frequent switching of multiple components makes it difficult for traditional methods to achieve fast and accurate ratio control.
• Lack of automated data recording makes production traceability and cost accounting difficult.

Head Powder Solutions

To address these pain points, Head Powder designed and implemented an automatic multi-component rubber and plastic powder conveying system for the customer. This system integrates modules for pneumatic conveying, weighing and batching, and intelligent control, achieving full automation from raw material storage to production equipment.

• More accurate ingredient mixing:Utilizes multi-point weighing and closed-loop control technology, with single-component measurement accuracy better than 0.5%, and multi-component ratio errors controlled within a minimal range, supporting formulation stability.
• Sealed conveying:Fully pipelined, sealed operation effectively suppresses dust leakage, improves workshop environment, and meets environmental protection requirements.
• Quick switching:The system supports multiple recipe presets and one-click switching, significantly reducing material change times to meet the needs of small batches and multi-variety production.
• Intelligent management:Equipped with a central control platform, it displays the usage of each component, conveying status, and equipment operating parameters in real time. Data is automatically stored for easy production traceability and cost analysis.

Project Outcomes

After the system was put into operation, the customer's production line efficiency improved by about 30%, the batching qualification rate approached 1, workshop dust concentration dropped significantly, and employee labor intensity was effectively reduced. At the same time, digital management provides reliable data support for subsequent capacity optimization.

Head Powder will continue to deepen its expertise in the field of automated powder conveying, providing more rubber and plastic enterprises with customized, high-efficiency solutions.
