The optimized project title is “AutomatedPneumaticConveyingofLimeinLampang,Thailand”. This article presents a detailed case study of an automated pneumatic conveying system for lime powder in Lampang, Thailand. Keywords: pneumatic conveying case, Southeast Asia pneumatic conveying, automated dosing pneumatic conveying.

Lampang is a province in northern Thailand with an expanding industrial base. Lime powder is widely used in local water treatment, construction and agriculture. Traditional manual handling caused serious dust pollution and low efficiency. Thus, the customer decided to adopt an automated pneumatic conveying system to transport lime powder from storage silos to multiple dosing points. This project successfully solved these problems and became a reference for the region.

The system supplied by Headpowder is a positive pressure dilute-phase pneumatic conveying system. It mainly consists of a Roots blower, rotary feeders, conveying pipelines, diverting valves, receiving hoppers, bag filters, and a PLC control system. The PLC controls the entire conveying sequence. Lime powder enters the pipe through a rotary feeder, and compressed air pushes it to the designated destination. The sealed line prevents any dust escape. The system is designed for the specific characteristics of lime powder, such as poor fluidity and high abrasion.

Automated dosing is a key feature. The PLC adjusts the feeding speed and air flow according to the requirements of each hopper. Sensors provide real-time data. When a hopper reaches the preset high level, the system switches the valve to another hopper or stops conveying. This ensures accurate dosing and reduces energy consumption.

Moreover, the system features an advanced HMI and alarm management. Operators can monitor all parameters in real time, record historical data, and adjust set points remotely. The control software also supports communication with the plant's DCS system, enabling seamless integration into the existing production line. This level of automation is particularly valuable for maintaining consistent lime dosing and avoiding human errors.

This system brings many benefits. It greatly reduces manual labor and eliminates dust pollution, creating a clean environment. It provides high flexibility for conveying lime to multiple destinations. It also improves dosing accuracy and lowers operating costs. Moreover, wear-resistant components ensure reliable operation even with abrasive powder.

This is a successful pneumatic conveying case in Southeast Asia. It proves that advanced automation technology can be effectively applied in this region. Thai customers praised the stable performance and high quality. The project also sets a benchmark for similar applications in neighboring countries. This project also promotes the export of Chinese engineering equipment to Southeast Asia. With growing demand for automated systems, such conveying solutions will become more popular in Southeast Asia.
