1. Pneumatic Conveying System Test Line (~200m)
This advanced test line simulates long-distance (up to 200 meters), high-efficiency material transfer using pneumatic technology, optimizing airflow dynamics and energy consumption. It evaluates key performance metrics such as conveying velocity (15–30 m/s), pressure drop (0.2–0.5 bar), and material degradation rates for powders, granules, or pellets. The system integrates lean-phase/dense-phase modes and AI-driven controls to balance throughput (5–50 tons/hour) with power efficiency (10–30% reduction vs. mechanical systems). Applications include cement, food, and chemical industries, emphasizing dust-free operation and CIP (Clean-in-Place) compatibility.
2. Tubular Chain Conveying System Test Line
Focused on gentle, enclosed material handling, this line tests tubular drag chain conveyors for fragile or high-purity materials (e.g., pharmaceuticals, plastics). It validates contamination-free transfer with FDA-grade chains and modular tubing, achieving <0.1% particle breakage. The system supports multi-directional layouts (horizontal/vertical, 90° turns) and capacities up to 100 m³/hour, with real-time monitoring of chain tension, wear, and energy use (0.5–3 kW per 10m). Ideal for explosive or hygroscopic materials due to its hermetic design.
3. Automatic Dumping/Unstacking/Unpacking/Feeding System Test Line
A fully automated line for palletized/bagged/bulk material processing, reducing manual labor by 70%. Features include:
-
Robotic dump stations with vision-guided positioning (±1mm accuracy).
-
High-speed depalletizers (20+ cycles/minute) for sacks, drums, or boxes.
-
Integrated weigh-feeding (error <0.5%) and foreign object detection (X-ray/Metal detection).
-
PLC-HMI coordination for seamless upstream/downstream synchronization, minimizing downtime.
4. Intelligent Logistics Test Line
