Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd. (headpowder), located in Shandong, China, has successfully designed, manufactured and commissioned a complete ultrafine powder vacuum conveying project in Lublin, Poland. This is a representative European pneumatic conveying case and a high-quality negative pressure conveying system, specially developed for continuous, dust-free and reliable transport of ultrafine powdery materials.

The project was implemented in a production plant in Lublin that required an enclosed, safe and hygienic conveying solution for difficult-to-handle powders. Because the material is extremely fine, conventional mechanical conveyor equipment may lead to dust leakage, material segregation, product contamination, pipe clogging and frequent maintenance. Headpowder therefore proposed a vacuum conveying system which creates negative pressure inside a sealed pipeline and moves the powder from feeding devices such as big bags, silos, mixers or storage hoppers to downstream machines, weighing hoppers, packaging stations or reactors. The whole conveying process is clean, smooth and fully automatic.

Vacuum conveying is particularly suitable for this Polish project because the pressure inside the pipeline is lower than atmospheric pressure. This means that any possible leak will go into the pipeline rather than dust escaping from it. As a result, the workshop, the environment and the workers are protected from ultrafine powder contamination. The vacuum system also helps to avoid compaction and ensures the powder remains aerated during transport, which is often necessary for cohesive or micronized products.

For ultrafine powders, every detail must be considered. The conveying pipe diameter, pipeline route, number of bends, air velocity, vacuum level, filter area, rotary valve speed and receiver size were all carefully calculated according to the actual material properties in Lublin. The system was designed to handle variations in moisture content, particle size distribution, bulk density and flowability. Special anti-bridging devices were installed at discharge points to keep the material flowing, and the pulse jet filter system continuously cleans the filter cartridges so that suction performance remains stable throughout the shift.

The equipment has a compact footprint and can be installed on existing floors without major construction work. Its PLC-based control system automatically manages feed start and stop, conveying cycle, pressure monitoring and filter cleaning. Operators can adjust conveying capacity from the touchscreen, and the system can be linked with upstream or downstream equipment to create a synchronized production line. This reduces manual labour, improves batch-to-batch consistency and saves energy, because the vacuum pump only operates when material transfer is needed.

This Lublin project is part of headpowder’s expanding list of successful references in Europe. The main products involved in this project include pneumatic conveying equipment, European pneumatic conveying systems, and vacuum pneumatic conveying systems. It also demonstrates our engineering capability to provide pneumatic conveying cases in different industries and countries. The project reflects the international standard of design and fabrication used by Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd., from the initial site survey and layout drawing to final installation and commissioning. We are proud to support our customers in Poland with reliable rolling after-sales service, technical documentation, and quick-response spare parts supply.
