During the treatment of steel slag powder, many enterprises face challenges such as low conveying efficiency, rapid equipment wear, and severe dust pollution. Traditional mechanical conveying (such as screw conveying and bucket lifting) is prone to blockages due to material stickiness, and frequent equipment shutdowns for maintenance increase operating costs. At the same time, dust issues during the transfer of steel slag powder are prominent, which not only affect the working environment but may also face environmental compliance pressures.

Material characteristics: Difficulties in conveying steel slag powder

Steel slag powder is a byproduct of the steelmaking process and has the following characteristics: uneven particle fineness (0.1~3mm), high density (bulk density about 1.5~2.0t/m³), high hardness (Mohs hardness 6~7), and usually contains free calcium oxide and ferromagnetic substances. It is highly abrasive, causing wear on transmission pipelines and valves; At the same time, the material easily absorbs moisture and clumps, creating a risk of blockage in the pipeline. These characteristics require the conveying system to have targeted designs such as wear resistance, anti-clogging, and sealing.

Product Introduction: Pneumatic conveying system for steel slag powder

Head Powder's pneumatic conveying solution for steel slag powder adopts positive pressure dense phase or negative pressure dilute phase conveying processes, with customized designs based on customer site conditions (conveying distance, height, capacity, etc.). The core components of the system include wear-resistant elbows, dedicated rotary feeders, and high-efficiency dust separation devices, which can continuously and stably transport steel slag powder from the silo to its location (such as storage, mixer, baling port, etc.). The system uses sealed pipelines for transportation, ensuring no dust leakage and meeting environmental protection requirements.

Product advantages: system solutions addressing pain points

To address customer concerns such as wear, clogging, dust, and automation, Head Powder has integrated multiple optimized designs into the system:

• Wear-resistant design: The inner walls of the pipes are lined with wear-resistant ceramic or high-chromium alloys, and the elbows feature replaceable anti-wear structures that significantly extend equipment lifespan;
• Anti-clogging technology: Equipped with compressed air auxiliary fluidization devices and pipeline blocking systems, effectively preventing material deposition through air volume adjustment;
• Fully enclosed operation: The entire process from feeding to unloading is sealed, paired with a high-efficiency pulse baghouse dust collector to achieve dust-free operation;
• Intelligent control: Integrated PLC automatic control system to monitor pressure, flow, material level, and other parameters in real time, supports remote operation and fault warning, and reduces labor costs.

This solution has been successfully applied in the steel slag powder processing stages of multiple steel mills, cement plants, and building materials companies, helping users achieve stable, efficient, and clean material transportation.
