How to Effectively Prevent Material Breakage in Pneumatic Conveying?

In pneumatic conveying systems, material breakage is a common issue that affects product quality and production stability. Breakage during conveying due to collision, friction, or airflow impact not only reduces product qualification rates but can also lead to material waste, increased equipment wear, and even cause chain problems such as pipeline blockage. Addressing this challenge, Guangdong WIJAY Material Automation System Co., Ltd. leverages years of industry experience and technological expertise to provide customers with a range of scientific and efficient solutions.

A

Main Causes of Material Breakage

– Mismatched Airflow Velocity: Excessively high velocity can cause intense collisions between materials and pipe walls, while excessively low velocity may lead to material sedimentation, increasing the risk of friction and compression.

– Unreasonable Pipeline Layout: Too many bends or overly sharp turns can intensify material impact, particularly affecting brittle materials.

– Rough Pipeline Interior: Rough inner surfaces increase friction during material conveying, leading to particle breakage or surface damage.

– Excessive Conveying Pressure: Overly high system pressure can cause unnecessary compression of materials, especially sensitive for fragile materials.

Our Solutions

  1. Precise Control of Airflow Velocity and Pressure  

   Adjust airflow velocity and system pressure reasonably based on material characteristics (such as density, particle size, brittleness, etc.) to achieve “gentle conveying.” While ensuring conveying efficiency, an appropriate air-to-material ratio and flow velocity are adopted to minimize material breakage caused by airflow impact.

  1. Optimized Pipeline System Design

   Reduce the number of bends, use large-radius curved pipes, and optimize pipeline routing to effectively lower the impact force on materials during direction changes. Additionally, proper arrangement of pipeline support structures helps avoid additional collisions caused by vibrations.

  1. Selection of High-Smoothness Conveying Pipes

   Recommend pipeline materials with smooth interiors and high wear resistance (such as polished stainless steel pipes, wear-resistant ceramic-lined pipes, etc.) to significantly reduce the friction coefficient between materials and pipe walls, fundamentally minimizing breakage risks.

  1. System Integration and Intelligent Regulation  

   Incorporate advanced control systems to enable real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of airflow parameters, ensuring the conveying process remains in an optimal state. We also offer customized pneumatic conveying system design and retrofitting services tailored to customer material characteristics.
