Sichuan Yibin Silica Micro Powder High-Purity Conveying Project

Sichuan Yibin Silica Micro Powder High-Purity Conveying Project undertaken by headpowder addresses the specific challenges faced by a leading silica micro powder manufacturer in Yibin. The project focused on delivering a reliable and contamination-free conveying solution for high-purity silica micro powder.

Project Background

A silica micro powder processing enterprise in Yibin required a high-purity conveying system to transport fine silica powder from storage silos to packaging stations. The material had strict purity requirements, and any contamination could compromise product quality.

Customer Pain Points

The customer faced several difficulties with their existing conveying method. Mechanical conveyors caused powder degradation and introduced metallic impurities. The fine silica powder also tended to agglomerate, leading to frequent blockages and downtime. Manual handling increased contamination risks and labor costs. Additionally, the system lacked precise flow control, resulting in inconsistent packaging weights and material waste.

headpowder Solution

headpowder designed a custom dense-phase pneumatic conveying system specifically for high-purity silica micro powder. The system uses inert gas as the conveying medium to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. All contact surfaces are made of stainless steel with a mirror finish to eliminate particle retention and contamination. A dedicated de-agglomeration device ensures powder flows smoothly without blockages. Integrated weight sensors and PLC controls provide accurate batch feeding, reducing material loss and improving packaging consistency. The closed-loop design minimizes dust emission and operator exposure.

Key Results

After implementation, the customer achieved a stable conveying rate of up to 5 tons per hour with zero detectable contamination. System downtime decreased by over 60%, and packaging accuracy improved to ±0.5%. The sealed design also reduced product loss and simplified cleaning procedures.
