What Kind Of Machines Will Used For The Chemical Powder Material Conveying Process?

Apr 16,2025

1. Pneumatic Conveying Systems
Types:

Dilute phase (low-pressure, high-velocity)

Dense phase (high-pressure, low-velocity)

Best for: Fine, dry powders like silica, alumina, PVC, carbon black.

Advantages: Fully enclosed (dust-free), flexible routing, good for long distances.

Considerations: Needs air filtration (e.g., cyclone or baghouse), higher energy use.

2. Screw Conveyors (Auger Conveyors)
Best for: Free-flowing or slightly cohesive powders (e.g., lime, calcium carbonate, talc).

Advantages: Simple design, easy to maintain, good for metering.

Types: Tubular, U-trough, inclined, vertical.

3. Vacuum Conveyors
Best for: Hygienic or closed systems (e.g., food-grade, pharma-grade chemical powders).

Advantages: Low dust, gentle conveying, flexible layout.

Often used with: Hoppers, sieving machines, mixers.

4. Bucket Elevators
Best for: Vertical conveying of bulk powders (where degradation is a concern).

Advantages: Gentle handling, high lift heights, sealed versions available.

5. Belt Conveyors (with Enclosures)
Less common for powders, but used for:

Granular materials.

When low degradation is acceptable.

Often paired with: Skirt boards and dust collection systems.
