Pneumatic Conveying Project for Lightweight Aerogel Powder Anti-Flight Material in Chuzhou, Anhui
In the field of light powder material transportation, how to effectively control dust emissions, reduce material loss, and support a clean production environment has always been a focal point of industry attention. Head Powder has been deeply involved in pneumatic conveying technology for many years. For ultra-light and easily scattered materials such as aerogel powder, it has established mature pneumatic conveying application cases in Chuzhou, Anhui, providing customers with efficient and stable anti-fly material solutions.
Case Summary
A certain new materials company mainly engages in the production and processing of aerogel powders. Both its raw materials and finished products are lightweight powders characterized by low density, large specific surface area, and easy dispersion. The company's original conveying method relied on manual feeding and mechanical conveyance, resulting in severe dust leakage during the process, which not only caused material waste but also posed significant threats to the workshop environment and employee health. To address this, the company decided to introduce a pneumatic conveying system for automation upgrades.
Customer pain points
Lightweight powders (especially aerogel powders) face three major challenges in conventional conveying: First, the material is extremely light (apparent density as low as 0.03~0.15g/cm³), and traditional mechanical conveying easily generates large amounts of dust dispersal, with a loss rate of 5%~10%; Second, the powder easily adsorbs static electricity, sticking to the inner wall of the pipeline and causing blockages, affecting continuous production; Third, the workshop environment is strict, requiring dust-free standards, which cannot be met by open conveyors. In addition, manual operation efficiency is low and it is difficult to accurately control the delivery volume, which limits capacity improvement.
Product advantages and solutions
To address these pain points, Head Powder offers a customized pneumatic conveying system. The specific solution includes: using sealed positive or negative pressure pneumatic conveying methods, combined with specially designed anti-flying material pipeline structures to prevent dust leakage from the source; Through gas volume adjustment and gas-solid separation technology, smooth conveying is achieved, preventing material accumulation inside the pipeline; The system is equipped with an intelligent control unit that can monitor conveying pressure, flow, and material status in real time, ensuring accurate feeding and automatic start-stop operations. After the complete system was put into operation, dust concentration at the customer's site was reduced by more than 99%, material loss was controlled within 1%, and overall production line efficiency improved by 40%.
This case fully validates Head Powder's technological maturity in the field of pneumatic conveying of lightweight powders. Whether it's aerogel powder or other ultra-light powders, we can design anti-flying, low-energy, and easy-to-maintain conveying solutions based on material characteristics and on-site conditions, helping enterprises achieve clean production while reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
