Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd. (headpowder) successfully completed a vacuum pneumatic conveying system for baking soda in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This pneumatic conveying case served a regional food producer seeking a hygienic, automated method to feed baking soda into four packaging lines. The vacuum system was selected to eliminate dust leakage and ensure product purity during transfer.

Baking soda is a fine, cohesive powder with a bulk density of about 0.5 kg/L. It easily becomes airborne and forms lumps when exposed to humidity. Mechanical conveyors often cause segregation and dust. Vacuum pneumatic conveying moves the material in a fully enclosed pipe under negative pressure, providing gentle and clean transport suitable for food-grade applications.

The Riyadh system delivers 2 tons per hour over 45 m horizontal piping and 15 m vertical lift. The pipeline uses 316L stainless steel with an inner diameter of 100 mm. A positive displacement vacuum pump creates -55 kPa, while conveying velocity is kept between 15 and 19 m/s. A cyclone and pulse-jet bag filter separate the product from the conveying air, ensuring exhaust dust levels below 5 mg/m³. PLC automation controls all sequences.

Because summer temperatures in Riyadh exceed 45°C, the vacuum pump was placed in an air-conditioned enclosure. All drives were sealed against sand, and a desiccant dryer provided low-dew-point air to prevent moisture absorption. These measures ensure stable operation throughout Saudi Arabia's harsh climate and protect the baking soda's quality.

The vacuum conveying solution offers inherent safety because any leak draws air inward, not powder outward. It also reduces energy consumption by 25% thanks to a variable frequency drive. The system has no dedusting points in the workshop, resulting in a cleaner work environment and simpler maintenance. Quick-release clamps and polished surfaces enable rapid cleaning between product changes.

Headpowder is the short name of Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd., based in Shandong, China. With over fifteen years of experience, the company specializes in dilute phase and dense phase conveying systems for both vacuum and pressure applications. Our engineers have completed more than 300 projects worldwide, across the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and mineral industries. The company is headquartered in Shandong, China, and has agents in several countries.

Before installation, headpowder tested a baking soda sample in its Chinese laboratory to determine particle size, moisture, angle of repose, and flowability. A pilot loop verified the conveying parameters, enabling precise design and preventing downstream blockage. This scientific approach is the reason why the Riyadh project has achieved over 98% system availability.

The project was executed under an EPC model with a single project manager. Equipment was fabricated in China, then shipped and commissioned in Riyadh. Local operators received comprehensive training, and a complete set of maintenance documentation was delivered. The client has reported greatly improved production efficiency and reduced product loss since commissioning.
