Lide powder pneumatic conveying solution

As a common inorganic pigment, Lide powder is widely used in industries such as coatings, plastics, and rubber. However, their powder characteristics often present numerous challenges in production and transportation. Head Powder specializes in the powder conveying sector, providing customized Lide powder pneumatic conveying solutions and complete system equipment to help enterprises achieve efficient, clean, and stable material flow.

Customer pain points

During the production and use of Lide powder, enterprises generally face the following issues:

• Severe dust swirling: Traditional manual or mechanical transport methods easily cause dust leakage, which not only pollutes the workshop environment but also poses health risks to operators.
• Low conveying efficiency: Lide powder particles are fine and have poor flowability. Using conventional conveying methods can easily cause blockages and bridging issues, causing frequent production line shutdowns and affecting capacity.
• Material loss and waste: In open conveying processes, Lide powder is prone to moisture, clumping, or contamination by impurities, leading to reduced material utilization and higher costs.
• Frequent equipment maintenance: Traditional conveying equipment requires frequent repairs due to wear and blockages, increasing operational costs and production interruption risks.

Material characteristics

Lide powder (mainly composed of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate) appears as a white powder, with a density of about 4.0~4.3 g/cm³, and a particle size usually between 0.2~10 microns. It has the following key features:

• Easy to fly: Fine powder spreads easily under airflow, requiring high sealing performance.
• Moisture absorption: In environments with high humidity, the surface easily absorbs moisture, leading to clumping or reduced fluidity.
• Abrasion: The pellets have moderate hardness, but long-term transport can still cause wear on pipeline elbows and other parts.
• Static electricity accumulation: Static electricity is easily generated during transportation, so appropriate anti-static measures must be taken.

Product Introduction

The Lide powder pneumatic conveying system provided by Head Powder is a sealed conveying solution based on the principles of positive or negative pressure airflow. The system mainly consists of a feeding device, conveying pipelines, air source equipment (such as fans or air compressors), dust separation and removal devices, and an electrical control system. Depending on the customer's on-site conditions, flexible selection of dilute phase conveying, dense phase conveying, or silo pump conveying modes enables fully automated conveying from raw material silos to feeding points, mixers, packaging machines, and other terminal equipment. Equipment materials can be selected from carbon steel or stainless steel, with inner walls treated for anti-stick and wear-resistant treatment to suit the material characteristics of Lide powder. The entire system is independently designed, manufactured, installed, and commissioned by Head Powder, providing one-stop customization services.

Product advantages

To address customer pain points, the Head Powder Lide Pneumatic Powder Conveying Solution offers the following advantages:

• Dust-free and environmentally friendly: Fully enclosed pipeline transport to prevent dust leakage at the source, improving workshop environment and meeting environmental protection requirements.
• Stable and efficient: Through precise gas-solid ratio control and anti-clogging design, it helps ensure smooth material delivery and reduces downtime failures.
• Low loss: A closed system prevents moisture, contamination, or leakage of materials, improves raw material utilization, and reduces overall costs.
• Intelligent control: Uses a PLC automatic control system to monitor conveying pressure, flow, and material level in real time, enabling on-demand feeding and reducing manual intervention.
• Low maintenance costs: Uses wear-resistant elbows and easily replaceable parts, with a simple structure, convenient daily maintenance, and extended equipment lifespan.
• Flexible customization: Tailored solutions are provided based on site space, conveying distance, and capacity requirements, adapting to new production lines and retrofitting old lines.
