Zhejiang Huzhou Artificial Graphite Low-Breakage Dense Phase Case

Case Overview

Headpowder recently completed a project in Huzhou, Zhejiang, focusing on the dense phase conveying of artificial graphite with minimized material breakage. This case demonstrates how tailored engineering solutions address the specific demands of handling fragile graphite particles in industrial applications.

Customer Challenges

The customer faced significant issues with conventional pneumatic conveying systems when processing artificial graphite. High particle breakage led to increased fines generation, reduced product quality, and frequent system blockages. Additionally, the dense phase conveying mode failed to maintain stable flow, causing inconsistent feeding and higher operational costs. Dust emissions also raised safety and environmental concerns.

Our Solution

Headpowder designed a low-breakage dense phase conveyor system specifically for artificial graphite. By optimizing air-to-material ratio, pipeline geometry, and feed control, the system achieved stable dense phase flow while keeping particle breakage below 0.5%. The closed-loop design minimized dust leakage, and the wear-resistant lining extended equipment life. The solution also integrated automated pressure regulation to ensure consistent throughput even with variable material properties.

Results & Benefits

After implementation, the customer reported a 40% reduction in fines generation, 30% higher conveying efficiency, and near-zero dust emissions. System maintenance intervals were extended by 50%, and product quality remained consistent throughout production runs. The low-breakage dense phase solution provided a reliable, cost-effective alternative to traditional conveying methods.
