Calcium carbonate is a versatile mineral used in plastics, rubber, paints, paper, and construction. As a fine powder, it must be handled carefully to avoid dust, degradation, and contamination. Pneumatic conveying offers a clean, enclosed, automated method to move calcium carbonate from storage to process equipment, improving efficiency and product quality.
Pneumatic conveying uses air to push or pull powder through pipes. The sealed system prevents dust emissions and protects material quality. Dry air or inert gas can be used for moisture-sensitive calcium carbonate. Systems can be configured as dilute phase or dense phase depending on distance, capacity, and material properties. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide variety of plant layouts and production rates.
A complete conveying system includes a feeder, air mover, pipeline, separator, dust filter, and controls. The material enters through a rotary airlock or screw feeder. A blower or compressor generates pressure or vacuum. At the discharge, a cyclone or filter receiver separates powder from air, and clean air is vented safely. All components are selected to match the material's abrasiveness and the required capacity.
Dilute phase conveying uses high-velocity air to move powder over short distances. It is simple and economical but can cause particle wear. Dense phase conveying moves material at low speed using high pressure. This minimizes degradation and pipe erosion, making it ideal for abrasive calcium carbonate. The right phase choice depends on your specific process goals.
Every project is customized. We analyze particle size, bulk density, moisture, flowability, and abrasiveness. Throughput, distance, layout, and number of feed points influence the design. We select the optimal pipe diameter, air velocity, and control system to ensure reliable, efficient operation. Our engineering team uses advanced design software to simulate the conveying process.
Benefits include a dust-free workplace, reduced manual labor, consistent throughput, low maintenance, and flexible layout. Energy consumption is minimal because the blower and conveying speed are matched to the actual load. The sealed system also prevents contamination, preserving product quality. This leads to lower operating costs and a safer working environment.
Applications include plastics, rubber, paint, coatings, paper, ceramics, glass, construction, animal feed, and environmental treatment. Our systems handle fine powders and granules with ease, delivering material to mixers, silos, extruders, and process stations. Each system is adapted to the material and process requirements. Whether you need a simple transfer line or a complex multi-inlet system, we have a solution.
Safety features are available: explosion-proof components, spark detection, static grounding, and pressure relief. For moisture-sensitive material, we use dryers or nitrogen gas. Contact parts can be made of stainless steel with food-grade finishes to meet strict standards. Dust collection ensures a clean workplace. All systems comply with international safety regulations.
We provide complete support from design to commissioning. We perform site surveys, simulations, and layout drawings. Installation is handled by experienced technicians. We train your staff and offer warranty, spare parts, remote assistance, and inspections to ensure long-term reliability. Our after-sales team responds quickly to minimize downtime.
