For materials with high viscosity, the Vacuum Conveyor needs to take a series of special measures to ensure smooth transportation.
First, in terms of equipment design, the pipes and hoppers of the Vacuum Conveyor can be specially treated. For example, the pipes can be made of materials with smooth inner walls to reduce the adhesion between the materials and the pipe walls. At the same time, an anti-stick coating or special materials can be set on the inner wall of the hopper to prevent the materials from accumulating and sticking in the hopper. In addition, the shape and angle of the pipes are optimized to minimize bends and corners, reduce the resistance of the materials during transportation, and avoid the accumulation of materials in these parts.
Secondly, add a stirring device or a vibrating device to the conveying system. The stirring device can continuously stir the materials to prevent them from sticking into blocks, keep them loose, and facilitate vacuum suction transportation. The vibrating device can promote the flow of materials in the pipe by generating slight vibrations to avoid blockage. For example, some Vacuum Conveyors use adjustable frequency vibration motors to adjust the vibration intensity according to the viscosity of the materials to achieve the best conveying effect.
Furthermore, adjusting the vacuum degree and conveying speed is also key. For materials with high viscosity, properly increasing the vacuum degree can increase the suction force and help overcome the viscous resistance of the material. However, the vacuum degree should not be too high to avoid excessive load and damage to the equipment. At the same time, reducing the conveying speed can give the material enough time to flow in the pipeline and reduce the risk of blockage. Through a precise control system, the vacuum degree and conveying speed can be adjusted in real time according to the characteristics of the material to ensure the stability and smoothness of the conveying process.
In addition, you can also consider pre-treating the material. For example, before the material enters the vacuum conveyor, you can reduce the viscosity of the material by adding an appropriate amount of desiccant or dispersant. Or heat the material to reduce its viscosity and enhance its fluidity. However, when performing pre-treatment, you need to be careful not to affect the quality and performance of the material.
Finally, it is also very important to maintain and clean the equipment regularly. Materials with high viscosity are prone to remain and accumulate inside the equipment, affecting the performance and service life of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean the pipeline, hopper, filter and other components to remove residual materials. At the same time, check and maintain each component of the equipment to ensure that it is in good working condition.
In short, for materials with high viscosity, Vacuum Conveyor can ensure smooth transportation through optimizing equipment design, adding auxiliary devices, adjusting transportation parameters, performing pretreatment and regular maintenance.
