DUSTY POWDER HANDLING BY PROCHEM

Dusting powders are very fine in nature with a low bulk density like 0.4gm/cm3. Powders like Bentonite, kaolin, kieselguhr, magnesium carbonate, starch, and talc are very fine powders which generate dust during handling. Such powder is unhygienic for the worker as well as for the workplace it spreads all around on the surfaces. The handling of such powders requires an efficient dust collection system in line at all the dust-generating points.

PROCHEM has been the one-point solution for powder handling by supplying unloading, conveying, mixing and packaging projects/products for the processing of bulk materials. The optimal combination of innovation, operational safety and service mean additional value and success for our customers! We work on understanding your challenge first and then offer the most optimal solution for it with our powder-handling machines.

Jumbo-bag 500kg has to be completely emptied and transferred to the mixer. The maximum capacity of the system is 3000kg/h. The unloading system is installed on the ground floor. The access vacuum will be relieved by a vent filter installed at the silo with the pulsing arrangement.

The Jumbo bag has to be put on the bag unloading system by using a hoist, first of all, the jumbo bag mouth has to be clamped with the unloading system and start system for the conveying process.

Vacuum blower/pump (pressure- 500mm/hg & flow 400 m3/h) started, at the same time massaging arms will be active for easy flow of material from the bag.

The material will be discharged from the silo to Mixer within control flow by using a rotary airlock valve. At other conditions, if the material is filled at 80 % of full volume, the conveying system will be stopped by using an interlock of a level sensor. The entire system operation is controlled by the PLC and HMI along with all instrument interlocks Like (sensors, proxy SW, PV, and transducer) based on Automatic operation, only one operator will be handling the entire process and operation activity.

The results are as follows:

Conveying Rate: 1200Kg/Hr

Manpower Required: 1

Noise Level: 30Db
