Haiphong, a key industrial city in northern Vietnam, is home to this fiberglass powder low-wear pneumatic conveying project. It was completed by Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd., also known as Headpowder, which is based in Shandong, China. The project serves as a benchmark for low-wear pneumatic conveying in Southeast Asia. Fiberglass powder is widely used in the production of glass-reinforced plastics, thermal insulation, and composite materials. However, its abrasive nature makes conveying a difficult task. Traditional systems experience frequent erosion, leading to downtime and high maintenance costs. Headpowder approached this challenge by designing a robust and intelligent pneumatic conveying system that prioritizes both equipment longevity and operational efficiency.

At the heart of the system is a dense-phase conveying principle. Unlike dilute-phase conveying, which moves particles at high velocity and causes serious wear, dense-phase conveying uses a low conveying speed and high pressure to push the fiberglass powder through the pipeline in a continuous plug or slug flow. This reduces the kinetic energy of particles and greatly limits abrasion against the pipe walls. The conveying pressure, air volume, and feed rate are automatically regulated by a control system. In this way, the material is transported gently and safely, preserving its quality and preventing degradation. Moreover, the lower conveying speed means lower energy consumption, making the system both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

To further minimize wear, the pipeline incorporates special wear-resistant components. All elbows and redirecting sections are lined with ceramic tiles, which can withstand the constant impact of glass powder. Straight pipes are made of high-quality steel with a smooth interior finish. This not only reduces friction but also eliminates material accumulation inside the line. The mechanical structure is supported by a sturdy frame, and the sealed design prevents dust leakage. As a result, the system maintains a clean and safe working environment in the workshop. Maintenance intervals are significantly extended, and the overall total cost of ownership is lower than that of traditional conveying systems.

The Haiphong project highlights the growing demand for reliable pneumatic conveying in Southeast Asia's fiberglass industry. Headpowder, with its professional engineering team, provided comprehensive support from initial design to installation and commissioning. The system was tailored to the local site conditions and the physical properties of the powder. It can be easily integrated into the customer's existing production lines. Headpowder's after-sales service includes technical training, spare parts supply, and online consultation. This ensures long-term, trouble-free operation for the customer.
