In the production and transportation of ceramic powder, material wear on pipelines has always been a prominent issue faced by the industry. The powder conveying system of a ceramic company in Tangshan, Hebei, has long been troubled by rapid wear of pipeline inner walls, frequent shutdowns for maintenance, and high maintenance costs, which have seriously affected production efficiency and equipment lifespan. To address these pain points, Head Powder offers a ceramic powder wear-resistant pipeline conveying system, systematically optimizing everything from materials and structure to the overall process, providing users with more reliable and economical delivery solutions.

Case Summary

A ceramic manufacturer located in Tangshan, Hebei, mainly engaged in processing and transporting mid-to-high-end ceramic raw material powders. Its original piping system was made of ordinary carbon steel, which showed obvious wear after about three months of operation, partial perforation after six months, and required replacement of pipeline components 2 to 3 times a year. Material waste and environmental risks caused by leaks became increasingly prominent. Companies have tried to install an inner liner, but the adhesion was insufficient and it easily fell off, resulting in poor results.

Customer pain points

1.Severe wear on the pipelines: Ceramic powder has high hardness and sharp particles, causing severe erosion on the pipe wall during high-speed pneumatic conveying, resulting in a very short service life for ordinary pipelines.
2.Maintenance frequency is too highFrequent shutdowns for maintenance and pipeline replacement consume a large amount of production time, resulting in capacity losses.
3.Overall costs remain high: In addition to direct material replacement costs, losses from manual disassembly, waste disposal, and unexpected downtime far exceed expectations.
4.Leaks and environmental risks: After pipeline perforation, powder leaks out, polluting the workshop environment, increasing cleaning burdens, and posing dust explosion hazards.

Product advantages

Head Powder has launched a ceramic powder wear-resistant pipeline conveying system to address these pain points, with the following main features:

• Highly wear-resistant inner lining design: Uses high-density engineering ceramic liners, with smooth and high hardness on the inner walls, offering significantly better erosion resistance than ordinary metal or rubber linings, greatly extending the service life of pipelines.
• The structure is integrally formed: Through a special process, the ceramic layer is tightly bonded with the metal jacket, preventing detachment and cracking, ensuring long-term operational reliability.
• Low-resistance conveying: Optimized inner diameter and surface curvature design reduces powder flow resistance, lowers energy consumption during pneumatic conveying, and minimizes material accumulation inside the tube.
• Convenient maintenance and adaptation: Provides standardized flange interfaces and quick assembly structure, supports multi-section combinations, facilitates local maintenance and replacement, and reduces downtime.

This system has been operating normally on the ceramic powder conveyor line in Tangshan, Hebei for over 18 months, with pipeline wall thickness loss less than 10% of the initial design, no leaks during this period, maintenance frequency reduced by about 70%, and overall operation and maintenance costs cut by more than half compared to the original system, helping the company achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
