Pneumatic conveying solution for activated carbon

In the fields of environmental protection and industrial treatment, the transportation and dosing of activated carbon have always been a key focus for companies. Activated carbon powder has low density, small particle size, is prone to flying and clogging. Traditional manual or mechanical methods are not only inefficient but also prone to dust pollution, material waste, and operator health risks. To address these common industry pain points, Head Powder has launched the new productActivated carbon pneumatic conveying systemWith sealed pipelines and automated control as the core, it achieves efficient, clean, and stable transportation of activated carbon.

Material characteristics and conveying difficulties

Activated carbon, as a porous, high specific surface area adsorbent material, has fine particles (usually above 200 mesh), light specific gravity (about 0.4~0.6 g/cm³), poor flowability, and a tendency to generate static electricity. During traditional conveying, activated carbon easily accumulates and clogs at pipe bends and valves, and the flying dust poses a threat to the workshop environment and human health. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a conveying solution that adapts to the characteristics of activated carbon.

Product Introduction

Developed by Head PowderActivated carbon pneumatic conveying system, using positive or negative pressure dilute and dense phase conveying technologies, customized designs based on user site layout, conveying distance, dosing amount, and other parameters. The system consists of an air source (Roots blower or compressed air), a feeding device (rotary feeder or jet pump), delivery pipelines, a gas-solid separator (baghouse dust collector or cyclone separator), and an automatic control system. To address the easy adhesion of activated carbon, the inner walls of the pipes are coated with a special wear-resistant smooth coating and equipped with anti-static grounding measures to ensure stable and unclogged conveying.

Solutions to customer pain points

Addressing dust flutter issues: the system operates in full enclosed mode, equipped with pulse reverse blow dust removal devices, ensuring no dust leakage on site and meeting environmental emission requirements.
For blockages and conveying fluctuations: an optimized gas-solid two-phase flow design, combined with multi-point pressure monitoring and automatic adjustment, helps the activated carbon supply continuously and stably.
For high labor costs: PLC automatic control supports remote monitoring and interlocking, reducing manual intervention and improving production line automation.
Targeting material waste: high-precision weighing or volumetric feeding, control accuracy within ±1%, reducing losses.
