Bulk Powder Material Handling & Conveying System in the Chemical Industry
In the chemical industry, powders such as titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, silica, PVC, PE/PP resin additives, catalysts, carbon black, and flame retardants are widely used. These materials are often dusty, fine, abrasive, or cohesive — requiring reliable handling systems.
bulk powder handling and conveying system in the chemical industry ensures safe, dust-free, and automated transfer of raw powders from bags/silos to reactors, mixers, or packaging lines — improving safety, efficiency, and product quality while reducing labor and environmental risks.
1. Unloading & Feeding
· FIBC / Ton Bag Unloader → for 500–2000 kg bulk bags.
· Small Bag Dump Station → for 20–50 kg bags.
· Silo Storage System → stainless or carbon steel silos with level detection.
2. Conveying
· Pneumatic / Vacuum Conveyors → for dust-free transfer over short/medium distances.
· Screw Conveyors → simple and robust for continuous feeding.
· Tube Disc Chain Conveyors → enclosed, flexible routing, energy-saving.
· Bucket Elevators → for vertical transfer of large volumes.
3. Weighing & Batching
· Automatic powder batching systems with high accuracy.
· Integrated with recipe management for multiple chemical blends.
4. Mixing & Processing
· Feeding powders into mixers, reactors, extruders, or packaging machines.
· Dust Collection & Safety
5. Dust filters, vacuum hoods, explosion-proof design (ATEX/IECEx).
Critical for fine chemical powders that are flammable or hazardous.
