Shanxi Linfen Coke Powder Closed Pneumatic Conveying Project

Project Background

A coke processing facility in Linfen, Shanxi required an advanced material handling system for transferring fine coke powder. The existing manual and open conveying methods led to significant dust emissions, high labor costs, and frequent equipment blockages. The plant needed a reliable, enclosed transport solution that could maintain product quality while improving workplace safety.

Customer Challenges

The customer faced three primary issues. First, severe dust pollution during coke powder transfer posed health risks to workers and violated local environmental regulations. Second, frequent clogging in traditional screw conveyors caused production downtime and increased maintenance expenses. Third, manual handling of the abrasive powder resulted in inconsistent throughput and product contamination. These problems collectively reduced overall operational efficiency by over 30%.

Solution Delivered

Headpowder implemented a fully enclosed pneumatic conveying system designed specifically for fine, abrasive coke powder. The system uses a closed-loop air conveyance mechanism that eliminates dust leakage entirely. A dedicated control unit automatically adjusts airflow and material velocity to prevent clogging, while hardened wear-resistant pipes extend service life. The solution integrates seamlessly with existing storage silos and downstream processing equipment, allowing continuous 24/7 operation with minimal human intervention.
