Henan Zhengzhou Rubber Plastic Powder Centralized Conveying System

Case Background

A manufacturing facility in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, engaged in the processing of rubber and plastic powders, faced operational challenges due to outdated material handling methods. The company, referred to as a local industrial leader, sought a more efficient and cleaner solution to streamline its powder transfer process.

Customer Challenges

The facility previously relied on manual labor and bucket elevators to move rubber and plastic powders between processing stations. This approach led to three critical issues: high dust emissions that endangered worker health and required frequent cleaning, inconsistent feed rates that caused production bottlenecks, and material waste due to spillage and contamination. The manual system also required multiple operators per shift, increasing labor costs and safety risks.

Product Advantages

Headpowder implemented a customized centralized conveying system designed specifically for rubber and plastic powders. The solution uses sealed pneumatic pipelines to transport material from storage silos directly to processing machines. Key benefits include: enclosed transfer that eliminates dust leakage and improves workplace air quality, automated flow control that ensures stable and precise feeding rates, and reduced manual intervention that cuts labor requirements by over 60%. The system also features a modular design, allowing easy expansion or reconfiguration as production needs change.

Product Features

• Sealed Pneumatic Conveying – Entirely closed pipe system prevents powder escape, minimizes contamination, and maintains consistent material quality.
• Intelligent Control Unit – PLC-based controller adjusts air pressure and flow in real time, adapting to varying powder characteristics and production demands.
• Energy-Optimized Blower – Variable frequency drive reduces power consumption by up to 30% compared to conventional blowers, lowering operational costs.
• Modular Station Design – Each conveying station is independent, enabling quick maintenance, future upgrades, and scalable capacity without system downtime.

Technical Parameters

• Conveying Capacity – 500 to 5,000 kg/h, adjustable based on pipeline length and material density.
• Pipeline Diameter – Standard DN80, DN100, DN125 options; custom diameters available for high-volume applications.
• System Power – 7.5 kW to 37 kW main blower motor, depending on total pipeline length and number of pick-up points.
• Operating Pressure – 0.2 to 0.6 bar, regulated by automatic pressure relief valves to ensure safe and stable conveying.
