Aluminum powder pneumatic conveying
Aluminum powder pneumatic conveying
Aluminum powder pneumatic conveying is a technology that uses airflow as the driving force to transport aluminum powder in a closed pipeline. The core is explosion-proof and inerting control, commonly using dilute/dense phase positive or negative pressure schemes. The system consists of gas source, feeding, conveying, separation, control, and explosion-proof safety units.
Two mainstream forms
Negative pressure suction and deliveryThe vacuum pump at the rear of the system creates negative pressure, and the atmosphere brings aluminum powder into the pipeline from the suction nozzle. It flows with the airflow to the end separator, where the material settles and the gas is discharged after dust removal. The characteristic is no dust leakage, suitable for multi-point material collection and short distance clean transportation.
Positive pressure deliveryThe front end is driven by compressed air, and the feeder evenly sends aluminum powder into the pipeline. It is pushed to the discharge point by air flow energy and static pressure, and discharged after separation and dust removal. The characteristic is that the conveying distance is longer, suitable for single point conveying to multiple points and long-distance conveying.
core process
Gas supply and flow generationThe gas source equipment establishes a stable airflow and pressure difference within the pipeline.
Feed mixingThe feeding device sends aluminum powder into the airflow, forming a gas-solid two-phase flow.
Pipeline transportationAluminum powder moves along the pipeline in a dilute or dense phase in the airflow.
Gas material separationThe cyclone/bag collects aluminum powder by settling, and the exhaust gas is purified by dust removal before being discharged to prevent pollution and loss of aluminum powder.
Special precautions for aluminum powder transportation
Due to the flammable and explosive nature of aluminum powder, inert gases such as nitrogen are commonly used as transport media in industry, and the system needs to be sealed, anti-static, and explosion-proof to avoid dust flying and ignition sources.
