Calcium chloride is a hygroscopic, free-flowing powder or granular material widely used in road deicing, dust control, oil drilling, food processing, and water treatment. Because it absorbs moisture quickly and tends to cake or bridge, conventional mechanical conveyors often cause blockages and downtime. A custom pneumatic conveying system provides a sealed, efficient, and clean way to move calcium chloride from storage to process equipment.

Solutions can be configured as dilute-phase, dense-phase, pressure, or vacuum systems. Dense-phase conveying uses high pressure and low velocity to reduce degradation and line wear; dilute-phase uses higher velocity for short distances. Pressure conveying pushes from a blow tank, while vacuum conveying draws from multiple feed points. The right mode depends on distance, throughput, particle strength, and layout.

Major components include a receiving hopper, rotary airlock, blow tank, compressor, pipeline, bend protection, diverter valves, cyclone separator, bag filter, silo, level sensors, and PLC controls. Stainless steel construction and smooth internal surfaces reduce corrosion and buildup. Heavy-duty bends with replaceable backing plates extend service life. All components are matched to your conveying rate and material properties.

Moisture control is critical because calcium chloride is deliquescent. Humid air entering the line can make particles sticky and harden into stable bridges. A desiccant dryer supplies clean, dry conveying air, and the sealed pipeline keeps atmospheric humidity away. After conveying, compressed air or nitrogen purge clears the line. Dust collection equipment protects workers and keeps the surrounding area clean.

System design is based on analysis of your calcium chloride sample. We measure particle size distribution, bulk density, moisture content, angle of repose, abrasiveness, and friability. These values determine the solid loading ratio, minimum conveying velocity, pressure drop, pipe diameter, and compressor capacity. A standardized but customizable layout reduces energy use and avoids oversizing. Pilot tests can confirm the selected parameters before manufacturing.

Automation is built around a PLC that starts and stops blowers, opens and closes valves, switches flow between silos, and monitors filter pressure. High and low level sensors in hoppers prevent overflow. Blockages, overpressure, or motor faults trigger alarms and shutdown. These systems handle chemical production, mineral processing, deicing material manufacturing, water treatment, and food ingredient handling, from bulk tanker unloading to packaging line feeding.

Compared with screw conveyors and bucket elevators, pneumatic conveying offers greater routing flexibility, fewer moving parts, lower maintenance, and a completely enclosed transport path. There are no bearings exposed to corrosive dust, and no return strand through which contamination could fall back into the product. Pipes can run vertically, horizontally, or over long distances with little floor space. Modular design makes expansion and relocation easy.
