At a quartz micropowder processing company in Zibo, Shandong, the original material conveying method relied on manual handling and open lifting, which was not only inefficient but also caused severe dust emissions, affecting the workshop environment and posing a threat to operator health. To meet the needs of production line expansion and environmental upgrades, the company commissioned Head Powder to design and build a sealed pneumatic conveying system for the precise and clean transfer of quartz micropowder from the grinding workshop to the storage silo.

Customer pain points

The prominent issues faced by the customer include: first, dust leakage during transportation, resulting in the factory area not meeting environmental protection standards; Second, manual handling and multi-stage transfer cause significant material loss and unstable product quality; Third, traditional mechanical conveying equipment requires frequent maintenance and long downtime, affecting overall production capacity; Fourth, there is a lack of automated control methods, relying on manual operations, resulting in high labor costs and difficulty in supporting efficiency.

Solutions and product advantages

To address these pain points, Head Powder adopts a complete set of sealed pneumatic conveying technology, using compressed air as the power source to achieve vertical and horizontal delivery of quartz micro powder through fully enclosed pipelines. The system is equipped with an automatic dust removal device and pressure monitoring module, ensuring zero dust leakage; Uses a low-velocity, high-concentration conveying process to reduce material crushing rate; Integrated PLC intelligent control enables one-touch start/stop, fault alarms, and remote operation and maintenance. The entire solution helped the client improve conveying efficiency by 40%, reduce workshop dust concentrations below national environmental standards, and reduce manual intervention, thereby lowering operating costs.
