Pneumatic conveying solution for attapulgite stone

During the processing and transportation of attauporatite, enterprises often face issues such as dust emissions and severe environmental pollution. Traditional mechanical conveying methods not only lead to significant material loss, but also easily cause pipeline blockages due to high material viscosity and clumping, affecting production continuity. At the same time, attapulgite granules are easily broken during transportation, affecting product quality. Moreover, manual operation is intensive and inefficient, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale, automated production.

Material characteristics

Attapulgite is a layered chain hydrated magnesium aluminum silicate mineral with high adsorption, strong adhesion, and good rheological properties. Its particles are fine and have a large specific surface area, and when moisture content is high, it tends to cluster and is sensitive to shear force during conveying. The material has a density of about 0.5-0.8 g/cm³ and moderate flowability. Sealed, low-slash, and dust-proof conveying methods are needed to help prevent damage to the material's properties.

Product Introduction

The pneumatic conveying system provided by Head Powder uses sealed pipeline conveying methods of positive or negative pressure, specially designed according to material characteristics. The system includes feeders, conveying pipelines, gas source equipment, separation devices, and automatic control systems, enabling continuous and stable delivery from raw material silos to target stations. The entire set of equipment adopts a modular structure and can be flexibly configured according to site space and process requirements, supporting fully automatic operation and remote monitoring.

Product advantages

To address the pain points of traditional conveying methods such as high dust, pipe blockages, and material damage, this solution addresses these issues through the following designs:

• Fully enclosed pipeline transportation eliminates dust leakage and improves workshop environment;
• Uses low-pressure, low-speed pneumatic conveying technology to reduce material friction and keep the crushing rate within a reasonable range;
• Optimizing feeder structure and pipe elbow angles based on the stickiness characteristics of attapulgite stone to avoid adhesion and blockage;
• Equipped with an intelligent control system that automatically adjusts conveying parameters, reduces manual intervention, and improves efficiency.
