Pneumatic conveying solution for flocculant particles

During the production and dosing of flocculants, the conveying of granular materials often faces issues such as dust swirling, pipeline blockages, and equipment wear, which directly affect the cleanliness of the production environment and the operational stability of the system. How to achieve efficient, sealed, and low-loss material transportation has become a bottleneck that many enterprises urgently need to overcome.

Material characteristics

Flocculant particles typically have strong hygroscopic properties, are prone to caking, have a wide density range (0.5~2.0 g/cm³), and irregular shapes, which places high demands on the sealing, anti-clogging capability, and conveying speed of the conveying system. Some polymer flocculants experience a sharp increase in viscosity after exposure to moisture. If traditional mechanical conveying methods are used, wall adhesion, bridging can easily occur, or even shutdown failures may occur.

Product Introduction

Head Powder has launched a pneumatic conveying system for flocculant particles based on the above material characteristics. This system uses compressed air as the power source and achieves long-distance, automated conveying of granular materials through sealed pipelines. The system consists of a feeding device, conveying pipeline, dust separation and removal device, and an intelligent control system. It can flexibly select positive or negative pressure conveying modes according to actual working conditions, adapting to flocculant particles of different particle sizes and flow rates.

Product advantages

To address customer pain points, we offer the following solutions:

• Fully enclosed conveying:The system adopts a pipeline sealing design to fully prevent dust leakage, improve the workshop environment, and reduce material loss.
• Anti-clogging structure:For hygroscopic materials, the feeder and pipeline corners are optimized, combined with pulse back-blowing or vibration auxiliary devices, effectively reducing the risk of caking and blockage.
• Low wear design:The conveying speed is calculated and controlled with relatively high accuracy, improving efficiency while reducing particle breakage and supporting flocculant activity.
• Intelligent integrated control:Equipped with PLC and touchscreen, supporting remote monitoring, automatic start-stop, and fault alarms, enabling coordinated operation with upstream and downstream equipment and reducing manual intervention.

Head Powder can provide integrated customized services from solution design and equipment manufacturing to installation and commissioning, tailored to customers' site layouts, production capacity requirements, and material characteristics, helping to ensure continuous system operation.
