Case Study of Low-Fragmentation Dense Phase Silo Pump Conveying Artificial Graphite Powder in Chuzh
A certain company is located in Chuzhou, Anhui, and specializes in the production of artificial graphite materials. Its production line demands extremely high integrity for graphite particles. Traditional pneumatic conveying methods cause large amounts of particle breakage due to mechanical collisions and airflow impacts, seriously affecting product quality and subsequent processing performance. To improve yield and reduce production costs, the company decided to introduce a more reliable conveying solution.
Customer pain points
Before the project started, the client faced three core pain points: First, the traditional rare-phase pneumatic conveying system had high flow rates, with graphite particles frequently colliding inside the pipeline, breaking rates exceeding 15%, resulting in a large number of nonconforming products; Second, severe dust leakage not only pollutes the production environment but also increases raw material waste and employee health risks; Third, energy consumption remains high, gas waste is obvious, and overall operating costs continue to climb. These pain points directly restrict capacity improvement and market competitiveness.
Product advantages
To address these pain points, Head Powder has customized a low-crushing dense phase silo pump conveying system for the customer. This system uses dense-phase conveying technology, where materials advance inside the pipeline at low speed and high concentration, reducing the frequency of particle collisions and impact, and the measured crushing rate can be controlled below 3%. At the same time, the pipeline system is fully sealed and paired with a high-efficiency dust removal device to achieve zero dust leakage. Additionally, the intelligent control system automatically adjusts the air volume based on material characteristics, reducing overall energy consumption by more than 30% compared to traditional solutions. After the complete system was put into operation, the customer's product pass rate increased to 98%, saving nearly one million yuan in raw material and energy costs annually, truly achieving efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost conveying goals.
