During lead powder production and transportation, enterprises often face challenges such as dust pollution from materials, pipeline blockages, severe equipment wear, and high health risks to workers. Traditional mechanical conveying methods are not only inefficient but also difficult to adapt to the high density of lead powder, fine particle size, and easy agglomeration, resulting in frequent production line shutdowns and high operating costs. How to achieve safe, sealed, and low-loss conveying has become a common pain point that the industry urgently needs to solve.

Material Characteristic Analysis

Lead powder is a high-density, high-hardness powder material, with an apparent density usually of 4.0~6.0 g/cm³ and particle size between 0.5~100μm. It has strong fluidity but is prone to static agglomeration. At the same time, lead powder is toxic, so it is recommended to operate fully enclosed during transport to prevent dust leakage and harm to the environment and human health. In addition, lead powder is generally abrasive to metal pipelines, requiring pipelines and elbows in the conveying system to have good wear resistance and sealing performance.

Product Introduction

Based on years of pneumatic conveying technology accumulation, Head Powder has launched a customized lead powder pneumatic conveying system tailored to the unique physical and safety properties of lead powder. This system uses positive pressure dilute or dense phase conveying methods, using compressed air or nitrogen as the power source to smoothly transport lead powder from the feeding point through sealed pipelines to the storage silo or downstream equipment. The system integrates automatic control, online dust removal, pressure monitoring, and explosion-proof design, meeting the needs of continuous production and intermittent conveying under various working conditions. Head Powder can provide one-stop customized services from solution design and equipment manufacturing to installation and commissioning, based on customer site layout, conveying distance, and production capacity requirements.

Product advantages

To address the above customer pain points, the Head Powder Lead Powder Pneumatic Conveying System has the following main features:

• Fully Sealed Dust-Free Conveying:The system pipelines use welding or flange connections, combined with high-efficiency pulse dust collectors and gas-locking discharge devices, ensuring no leakage throughout lead powder transport and eliminating occupational health hazards and environmental risks at the source.
• Wear-resistant and anti-clogging design:Key elbows and straight pipe sections use ceramic linings or high-chromium wear-resistant alloy materials, and the gas-solid two-phase flow speed and airflow ratio are optimized to effectively reduce pipeline wear and material agglomeration and blockage rates, supporting continuous operation.
• Intelligent control for greater accuracy:Equipped with a PLC programmable controller and touchscreen human-machine interface, it can monitor parameters such as conveying pressure, material level, and air volume in real time, automatically adjust feeding speed and air source output, enabling unmanned or low-staff operation and reducing manual intervention costs.
• Customized flexible integration:Based on the customer's site plant height, equipment layout, and capacity requirements (such as conveying capacity 0.5~20 t/h, horizontal distance 10~200 m, lifting height 5~50 m, etc.), modular combination solutions are provided, compatible with existing pre- and downstream processes such as feeding, weighing, and mixing.
