Help: Powder pump
Thread Content
I was wondering if any of those present have used powder pumps. I want to know whether such pumps can be used to transport talcum powder. Those who have experience using powder pumps, please share your insights.
Additional information: 600-mesh talc powder. Transport distance: 50 meters. Vertical height: 2 meters. Leakage-free operation is required
Reply to 2# gmzsl: What kind of pump is used to pump lime slurry? Centrifugal or screw? Are there any successful cases of transporting talcum powder?
For dry powder with a bulk density of around 0.9, a powder pump can be considered. Ingersoll Rand has one.
Reply to 5# liuqe001: Have you used it? I also looked it up online, but I’m not sure if what the seller says is true.
Reply to 6# Kobayashi-ji: I had planned to recommend it to a client. The plan was changed later. I haven’t used it myself
Powder pumps can be used to transport materials, but they are not recommended for use when the distance and height involved are short; they have a high energy consumption per ton and low efficiency. I believe that if the material, which is 2 meters high and 50 meters long, is talcum powder, a scraper conveyor with sleeve roller chains could be considered. With relatively lower energy consumption and investment, a powder pump can certainly be used as well, but it is not recommended.
Reply to 8# hu12122003: Thank you for your suggestion. Actually, what we prioritize is dust-free operation; power consumption is less important to us.
Our company specializes in the production of powder pumps. Features and uses of powder pumps: 1. Powder materials are transported under closed systems, which helps to minimize contact between operators and the powder, especially in the case of toxic or harmful powders, thereby ensuring personal safety； 2. It prevents dust from floating around in the production workshop, thereby reducing air pollution and raw material waste (by using specialized air release components) ； 3. It is equipped with an air flow induction system; 4. The fluidizing gas and the motor-driven gas for the pump can be separated, thereby preventing oxidation and deliquescence of the material due to contact with air ； The fluidized gas can be subjected to further purification and drying treatments on its own (in contact with the powder), and other gases such as inert gases like nitrogen can also be used; 5. The system is cost-effective and simple to use – unlike expensive, traditional large-scale and complex pre-installed powder transfer systems ； 6. Lightweight, allowing it to be moved and used easily anywhere (it can be installed on a trolley, which can be customized). Ready to use out of the box, no installation or debugging required ； 7. The bore sizes are 1.5", 2", and 3"; the pump body materials include iron, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel. Powder pumps can successfully transport powders that are granular, lightweight, dry, and flowable, with a bulk density of 80~880 kg/m3. It is widely used in industries such as carbon, silica, powdered activated carbon, fine graphite powder, lithium iron phosphate, nano-calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, titanium dioxide, starch, globulin powder, activated clay, resin powder, pigment powder, flame retardants, solid sodium methoxide, as well as in the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical raw materials and intermediates. It is also employed for the transportation of various lightweight powders, making it highly versatile.
