Pneumatic conveying solution for medicinal starch
During the processing and transportation of medicinal starch, enterprises often face practical issues such as dust pollution, material clumping, pipeline blockages, and difficulties in controlling cleanliness. Traditional manual or mechanical delivery methods are not only inefficient but also easily introduce impurities, affecting drug quality. To address these industry-specific challenges, Head Powder offers customized pharmaceutical starch pneumatic conveying system solutions to help enterprises achieve efficient, clean, and stable material circulation.
Customer pain points
Medicinal starch is lightweight and has fine particle size, making it highly susceptible to dust generation in open conveying environments, which not only pollutes the production workshop but also increases cleaning and maintenance costs. At the same time, starch has high hygroscopicity and adhesion, making it prone to moisture accumulation and clumping during long-term storage or transportation, clogging pipelines, and causing frequent production line shutdowns. In addition, traditional conveying equipment struggles to adapt to the layout changes of different factory buildings, lacks flexibility, and has limited adaptability.
Material characteristics
Medicinal starch is a white or off-white powder, odorless and tasteless, with a density of about 0.5~0.8 g/cm³, a relatively large angle of repose, and average flowability. Its particles have porous surfaces and easily absorb moisture from the air, with significant moisture absorption when relative humidity exceeds 60%. Starch dust poses an explosion risk when it reaches its normal concentration in the air and is classified as Class B dust. Therefore, the conveying system must have moisture-proof, anti-static, and explosion-proof functions, and maintain fully enclosed operation.
Product Introduction
The Head powder pharmaceutical starch pneumatic conveying system uses a sealed pipeline structure of positive or negative pressure, powered by compressed air, to transport materials from the feed port to the storage or usage point. The system consists of a feeding device, conveying pipeline, separator, dust collector, and electrical control system, and can be customized non-standard according to the customer's site environment, conveying distance, and production capacity requirements. Core components are made of food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel, with polished inner walls ensuring no dead corners and residues, meeting GMP clean production standards.
Product advantages
To address customer pain points, Head Powder proposed multi-dimensional solutions: fully enclosed pipeline transportation effectively curbs dust leakage and improves workshop environments; Equipped with dehumidification and insulation devices to reduce the risk of starch moisture absorption and caking; Modular design facilitates quick disassembly and cleaning, reducing downtime and maintenance time; The intelligent control system can monitor conveying pressure, flow, and material status in real time, supporting remote operation and automatic alarms to enhance production continuity and safety. The overall system consumes less energy, and operating noise is controlled within the national industrial standard range, making it suitable for continuous operation.
