Solid material conveying problem
Thread Content
Are any of your organizations dealing with issues related to the transportation of solid materials? In our reactors, solid materials are added manually; is there any option for automatic feeding? This would save labor costs and improve sealing efficiency.
A cage or conveyor belt can be used. Create a sealed space around the conveyor belt as needed.
Will the conveyor belt take up a lot of space, and could wet materials get stuck on it?
The size of the conveyor belt must be determined based on your feeding volume. Actually, it doesn’t take up too much space, because when adding material manually, if a large amount of material is used, the only solutions are to increase the size of the feeding holes or to increase the workload for the operators. Using conveyor belts can definitely improve work efficiency. . Also, I don’t understand what you mean by wet materials. Is it because of the material’s deliquescence? The conveyor belt can have an internal material chosen according to the materials being transported, in order to prevent sticking as much as possible.
I don’t know what raw materials you are using. In large-scale coal chemical production processes, such as sulfonation, naphthalene is first put into a tank and heated to a liquid state before being pumped into the reaction vessel; however, initially, manual effort is still required to insert the naphthalene into the tank. This is for reference only
It depends on the properties of your material. Use a vacuum feeder or a large-bag feeder; if the amount of material is small, set up a solid packaging area in the workshop
Vibrating feeder, scraper conveyor, dump conveyor, screw conveyor. . . . . .

If operating on the ground and avoiding handling, a pneumatic conveying system can be used. If feeding is to be done from a high position, an automatic or manual bag-unpacking and distribution rotary valve can be used, or a horizontal screw conveyor, a chain conveyor, or a conveyor belt can be employed depending on the layout. You can use the in-app message for details.
What are the pressure and temperature inside the reactor? What is the flowability of the solid material? What is the amount of material to be fed in?
Have you seen a piston press?:lol
It is recommended to use the feeding equipment for reaction kettles, as well as the feeding equipment for powder-based reaction kettles, and the sealed vacuum feeding machines provided by Shijiazhuang Lain Machinery Technology Co., Ltd； The equipment discharge port is connected to the reactor via a sealed flexible connection, allowing the material to be transported rapidly through sealed pipelines and thus reducing dust generation in the workshop ； It prevents the leakage of organic solvents from the reaction vessels, reduces the strong odors in the workshop, enables rapid transfer of materials thereby reducing the workload on employees, and helps the company save on labor costs. It meets the requirements for the sealed transportation of powder materials in line with environmental protection regulations. The control system is operated by a PLC, and the operating programs are developed according to the process requirements of the workshop; it can be integrated into the workshop’s DCS control system. The design of the equipment can be customized to suit the workshop’s control requirements. The device can operate in intermittent mode; for example, it can run for 5 minutes and then stop for 15 minutes, or it can run automatically for 5 minutes at a time until the stop button is pressed. The stopping time can be set arbitrarily.
