Case Study of Low-Wear Pipeline Transmission in Jingzhou, Hubei

A certain company faced long-term challenges in the material conveying process in its fiberglass micropowder production line in the Jingzhou region of Hubei. During production, glass fiber micropowder has high hardness and abrasiveness. Traditional conveying methods cause severe pipeline wear and frequent shutdowns for maintenance, which not only increases equipment replacement costs but also drags down overall production efficiency.

Customer pain points

1. Pipeline Wear Too Fast: Glass fiber micropowder particles have sharp edges, accelerating wear on the inner wall of pipelines during high-speed transportation. On average, the bend section needs to be replaced every two months, and maintenance costs remain high.
2. Low conveying efficiency: Conventional pneumatic conveying systems cannot stably control the material-gas ratio, leading to frequent blockages and frequent interruptions on the production line.
3. Dust pollution: Traditional sealing structures are not tight enough, leading to leaks during transportation, which affects the workshop environment and employee health.
4. High energy consumption: To overcome wear issues, customers have tried to reduce gas speed, but this has led to new issues of unstable conveying pressure and increased energy consumption.

Product advantages

To address these pain points, Head Powder offers a comprehensive solution for pneumatic conveying of low-wear pipelines. This solution uses optimized wear-resistant pipes, with specially treated inner walls that can withstand high-speed erosion from glass fiber micropowder, extending their service life to more than three times that of traditional pipes. At the same time, the system uses a pneumatic pressure and material-air ratio adjustment device that helps maintain continuity during conveying and reduces the probability of blockages. The sealing structure has been upgraded to achieve leak-free operation, improving the on-site working environment. Overall energy consumption is about 18% lower than the customer's original plan, truly balancing stability, economy, and environmental friendliness.
