Pulverizing materials is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. You’ll need to develop an effective pneumatic handling solution to ensure your powder processing enterprise has the facilities, equipment, and tools necessary to succeed. A pneumatic powder handling solution is a safe and effective way of handling coarse materials such as powders, hot plates, glass beads, sand, and resins. These solutions can be implemented in various ways, from simple bags of material to full-fledged plant operations with specialized equipment. Here are things you should know about powder handling solutions:
What are powder handling solutions?
Powder handling solutions allow granule materials such as powders, sand, and resins to be handled with minimal equipment. Because of their high volume and frequent handling, these materials are efficiently delivered to the finished product. Powder handling solutions can be implemented in various ways, from simple bags of material to full-fledged plant operations with specialized equipment. The method of loading and unloading materials from one operation to the next can affect the solution’s efficiency. Still, the basic processes remain the same regardless of the method used.
How do the powder handling solutions work?
As the name suggests, the pneumatic handling process applies force to granule materials (powders, sand, etc.) to break them down into smaller parts. The granule materials are attracted to a potential pneumatic raw material source – a fixed point, often located at the intersection of two roadways. The fixed point is selected to be the location for one of three activities: the powder storage box, the powder handling warehouse, the pneumatic path that carries the raw materials to the facility, or another location.
What is the need for powder handling solutions?
Powder handling solutions are needed for several reasons, the most important of which is to reduce the variability in batches of powders by eliminating the fixed points that are the source of variability. This means that the production process will be more predictable, with higher yields, and require less labor.
One of the main ingredients in many granule materials such as sand and powders is kyanine, which has several uses in the field of mineralogy and the creation of plastic products. This material naturally occurs in the environment and is therefore very attractive to pneumatic raw materials.
Summing up
