Jiangsu Lianyungang Rubber Filler Positive Pressure Conveying

A rubber manufacturing facility in Jiangsu, Lianyungang, faced significant challenges in handling bulk rubber fillers such as carbon black and calcium carbonate. The existing conveying method caused severe dust leakage, frequent pipeline blockages, and high labor costs due to manual material handling. These issues not only reduced production efficiency but also posed health risks to workers and increased maintenance downtime.

Customer Pain Points

The client experienced three major operational difficulties: first, uncontrolled dust emissions during material transfer led to a hazardous working environment and potential regulatory fines. Second, the filling materials tended to agglomerate and stick inside the conveying pipes, requiring frequent manual cleaning and interrupting the continuous production flow. Third, the overall system lacked automation, resulting in inconsistent feed rates and higher energy consumption per ton of material moved.

Product Solution

Headpowder provided a tailored positive pressure conveying system designed specifically for rubber filler materials. The system adopts a closed-loop design that eliminates dust leakage entirely, maintaining a clean plant environment. Using controlled positive air pressure, the material is pushed through smooth, wear-resistant pipelines with minimal friction, effectively preventing blockages even with fine, cohesive powders. An integrated programmable logic controller (PLC) automates material flow, ensuring consistent dosing and reducing manual intervention by over 70%. The solution also incorporates a dedicated filter receiver and rotary airlock valve to separate material from conveying air efficiently.

Key Benefits

After implementing the Headpowder positive pressure conveyor, the customer reported a nearly dust-free workshop, a 95% reduction in pipe blockages, and a 30% decrease in energy consumption compared to their previous method. Production capacity increased by 40% due to uninterrupted continuous operation, and labor costs were cut by half as the system requires minimal supervision. The robust construction also extended equipment service life, lowering overall maintenance expenses.
