Furnace-based carbon black pneumatic conveying solution
During the production and deep processing of carbon black, the conveying stage of furnace-based carbon black often faces issues such as dust escape, pipe wall wear, material accumulation, and high energy consumption. How to achieve efficient, sealed, and stable pneumatic conveying has become an urgent challenge for many enterprises. Leveraging extensive material handling experience, Head Powder offers customized furnace-based carbon black pneumatic conveying solutions and complete system equipment, helping enterprises achieve clean production while reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Customer pain points
Furnace-based carbon black is light in density and fine in particle size, making it prone to dust generation during traditional mechanical conveying, which not only pollutes the workshop environment but also increases material loss. At the same time, carbon black particles cause severe wear on the pipe walls, leading to frequent equipment maintenance and increased operating costs. In addition, long conveying distances and many elbows can easily cause blockages, affecting production continuity. Enterprises need a sealed, wear-resistant, and low-energy conveyor system to enhance automation levels and meet environmental requirements.
Material characteristics

Furnace-process carbon black is a fine powder material with an apparent density of about 0.2-0.5 g/cm³, and particle sizes typically between 10-50 microns. It has a high specific surface area, strong adsorption, and typical adhesion. Its fluidity is average, it clumps easily, and exhibits frictional wear characteristics on metal surfaces. Therefore, the conveying plan must fully consider the high dispersibility requirements of the material and the design for wear resistance.
Product Introduction

The furnace-based pneumatic conveying system for carbon black provided by Head Powder uses positive pressure dense phase or dilute phase conveying methods, with customized designs tailored to the characteristics of carbon black. The core components of the system include wear-resistant elbows, sealed rotary feeders, automatic control units, and more, which help ensure a sealed and leak-free conveying process. Equipment selection covers multi-node applications from raw material silos to intermediate silos and packaging stations, supporting fully automatic PLC control and seamless integration with existing production lines.
Product advantages

To address customer pain points, Head Powder focuses on solving wear and clogging issues in its solution design: selecting pipe fittings made of high-hardness ceramic linings or ultra-wear-resistant alloy materials, extending the elbow wear cycle to more than three times that of conventional fittings; By optimizing the gas-solid ratio and conveying pressure, energy consumption can be reduced by 15%-20%; Equipped with an online plugging and intelligent monitoring system, effectively preventing material blockage and enabling 24-hour continuous operation. The entire system suppresses dust leakage from the source, helping enterprises meet environmental emission standards.
