Hebei Tangshan Quicklime Pot Feeder Conveying Project

Project Overview

Headpowder successfully delivered a quicklime pot feeder conveying system for a client in Hebei, Tangshan. This project was designed to optimize the feeding and conveying of quicklime in high-temperature environments, ensuring stable operation and reduced material waste.

Client Challenges

The client faced frequent blockages in the pot feeder due to the high reactivity and dustiness of quicklime. Inconsistent material flow led to production interruptions, increased maintenance costs, and safety risks from dust exposure. Additionally, the existing equipment could not withstand temperatures above 600°C, causing frequent part failures.

Our Solutions

To address these issues, Headpowder provided a customized quicklime pot feeder conveying system incorporating wear-resistant linings, a precision screw feeder design, and a sealed enclosure to control dust. The system uses high-temperature alloy components rated for continuous operation at 700°C, ensuring reliability under thermal stress. An automated flow control module adjusts the feed rate based on real-time downstream demand, eliminating blockages and reducing manual intervention.

Project Results

The new system achieved a 40% increase in uptime and a 25% reduction in maintenance frequency. Dust emissions were lowered by 90%, meeting local environmental standards. The client reported smoother production cycles and improved operator safety.
