Kaolin pneumatic conveying solution

During traditional kaolin conveying, powdered materials are prone to dust pollution, which affects the environment and operator health; At the same time, kaolin, due to its high viscosity and easy moisture absorption, often suffers from pipeline blockages and low transportation efficiency; Equipment wears out quickly and maintenance costs are high, seriously affecting production continuity. Enterprises urgently need a sealed, stable, and low-energy conveying solution to solve these problems.

Interpretation of material characteristics

Kaolin is a non-metallic mineral powder characterized by high whiteness, fine particle size (usually 200 mesh–1250 mesh), easy lifting, strong hygroscopicity, and relatively poor flowability. During pneumatic conveying, special attention must be paid to material adhesion and agglomeration tendency. The system design is recommended to match its physicochemical properties to avoid caking, pipe blockage, and breakage.

Product Introduction

The kaolin pneumatic conveying system provided by Head Powder uses either positive or negative pressure pneumatic conveying technology, allowing customized dense or sparse phase conveying solutions based on material characteristics and on-site conditions. The system consists of feeders, conveying pipelines, air source equipment, dust separation and removal devices, and an automated control system, enabling fully enclosed and automated transfer of kaolin from storage points to usage points. The equipment is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, equipped with moisture-proof and anti-clogging auxiliary mechanisms to ensure continuous operation.

Solutions and advantages

To address customer pain points, Head Powder provides effective solutions through the following designs:

• Sealed conveying: Fully enclosed pipeline system to prevent dust leakage at the source, meeting environmental protection requirements and improving the working environment.
• Anti-blocking design: Optimize the pipeline inner wall smoothness, elbow angle, and blowing device according to kaolin viscosity characteristics, combined with air source adjustment to effectively reduce the risk of blockage.
• Energy saving and consumption reduction: Utilizes high-efficiency air source equipment and intelligent control algorithms, dynamically adjusting air volume based on actual conveyed volume, reducing unit energy consumption by about 15%-30%.
• Low breakage rate: By reasonably selecting conveying speed and feeding methods, the morphology of kaolin particles is protected and material loss is reduced.
• Intelligent monitoring: Equipped with a PLC control system to monitor pressure, flow, material level, and other parameters in real time, supporting remote operation and fault prediction, reducing manual inspection and maintenance costs.
