Ankara, Turkey Inorganic Salt Powder Moisture-Proof Conveying Engineering Project

Headpowder, officially known as Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd., has successfully delivered a specialized pneumatic conveying system for inorganic salt powder in Ankara, Turkey. This project addresses the critical challenge of moisture-proof transportation for hygroscopic inorganic salt powders, ensuring product quality and operational efficiency. The system is designed to handle fine, moisture-sensitive materials with precision, leveraging advanced pneumatic conveying technology tailored for the unique conditions of the Turkish market.

Project Overview and Core Requirements

The Ankara-based facility required a reliable solution for transferring inorganic salt powder from storage to processing points without exposing the material to ambient humidity. Inorganic salt powders, such as sodium sulfate, potassium chloride, and magnesium sulfate, are highly prone to caking and degradation when exposed to moisture. The client demanded a fully enclosed, moisture-proof pneumatic conveying system that could operate continuously in Turkey’s variable climate, from dry summers to humid winters. Headpowder’s engineering team conducted a thorough site assessment in Ankara, evaluating factors like local temperature fluctuations, dust control regulations, and the specific particle size distribution of the inorganic salt powder (typically 50–200 mesh). The result was a custom-designed dense-phase pneumatic conveying system with integrated dehumidification and inert gas blanketing.

Key Technologies in the Turkish Pneumatic Conveying Solution

This case study highlights Headpowder’s expertise in Turkish pneumatic conveying and Ankara pneumatic conveying applications. The system employs a closed-loop pipeline network made of stainless steel (304L) to prevent corrosion from the mildly acidic inorganic salt powder. A specialized moisture-proof pneumatic conveying approach was implemented using a combination of dry compressed air (dew point -40°C) and nitrogen purging at transfer points. The conveying line includes trace heating and insulation jackets to maintain temperature above the dew point, preventing condensation inside the pipes. For the inorganic salt powder pneumatic conveying stage, a rotary airlock feeder with a flexible seal and a venturi-type injector ensures smooth material flow without bridging. The system also features a baghouse filter with pulse-jet cleaning to capture fine dust, meeting Turkish environmental standards.

Moisture-Proof Pneumatic Conveying Design Innovations

Moisture-proof pneumatic conveying was the central technical challenge. Headpowder integrated a multi-layer barrier system: first, the material silo is equipped with a desiccant breather and a nitrogen blanket; second, all flanges and joints use PTFE gaskets with silicone sealant; third, the conveying pipe has a double-wall structure with a vacuum interstitial space to prevent moisture ingress. A real-time humidity sensor network monitors the internal environment, triggering alarms if relative humidity exceeds 20%. This design ensures that the inorganic salt powder remains free-flowing and chemically stable throughout the transfer process. The Ankara installation also includes a local control panel with PLC and HMI, allowing operators to adjust conveying speed, air pressure, and purge cycles based on the specific powder properties.

Project Execution and Customer Benefits

From initial consultation to commissioning, the project took 14 months. Headpowder’s team in China (Shandong Province) manufactured all major components, including the pressure vessels, diverter valves, and blow tanks, while local Turkish partners handled on-site installation and civil works. The system handles 15 tons per hour of inorganic salt powder over a distance of 120 meters, with a vertical lift of 18 meters. Since going live, the customer has reported zero product caking incidents, a 30% reduction in energy consumption compared to their previous mechanical conveyors, and a 95% decrease in dust emissions. The moisture-proof pneumatic conveying technology has been so effective that the client plans to replicate the system in their other factories across Turkey.
