Shanghai Sugar Powder Low-Breakage Dilute Phase System

Case Overview

Headpowder developed a specialized dilute phase conveying system for a sugar processing facility in Shanghai. The system was designed to handle sugar powder with minimal particle degradation, addressing a critical operational need for the client.

Client Challenge

The client faced high rates of sugar powder breakage during pneumatic conveying. Traditional dense phase and high-velocity dilute phase systems caused excessive particle fracture, resulting in product waste, inconsistent particle size distribution, and increased dust generation. This not only reduced yield but also created safety and hygiene concerns within the production environment.

Solution & Advantages

Headpowder's low-breakage dilute phase system utilizes optimized airflow velocity, gentle conveying paths, and specially designed material contact surfaces to minimize impact forces on sugar crystals. The system maintains stable dilute phase flow while keeping acceleration and collision energy below the critical threshold for sugar powder. Key advantages include: reduced product degradation rates, lower dust emission, consistent particle morphology, and energy-efficient operation. The solution integrates seamless control with existing production lines, offering a reliable and repeatable performance for high-value sugar applications.
